Star Wars Jobs – Lucasfilm is now hiring a ton of jobs to work on Star Wars and several other motion pictures, books, and TV shows.

Lucasfilm is a film and TV production company based in San Francisco, California. The studio is best known for creating the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises, as well as being the leading developer for special effects and computer animation.

Founded by filmmaker George Lucas in 1971, most of the company’s operations moved to San Francisco in 2005. Since then, the Walt Disney Company acquired Lucasfilm in 2012 for $4.06 billion.

Lucasfilm’s company structure has several different fields.

• Industrial Light & Magic — visual effects
• Skywalker Sound — post-production sound design
• LucasArts Entertainment Company, LLC – video games
• Lucasfilm Animation Ltd. LLC — animation
  • Lucasfilm Animation Singapore

Kathleen Kennedy, co-chairman of Lucasfilm, became president of Lucasfilm, reporting to Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn. She also serves as the brand manager for Star Wars, working directly with Disney’s global lines of business to build, further integrate, and maximize the value of this global franchise. Kennedy serves as a producer on new Star Wars feature films, with George Lucas originally announced as serving as a creative consultant.

Under the deal, Disney acquired ownership of Star Wars and Lucasfilm’s operating businesses in live-action film production, consumer products, video games, animation, visual effects, and audio post-production.

LucasFilm’s latest movie, Star Wars: Episode VII, was a box office monster. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the highest-grossing movie in the world, with over a billion-dollar in ticket sales alone. Since the Disney acquisition, Lucasfilm is creating a new Star Wars movie every year with plans on several spinoffs, reboots, and prequels. Also, there are rampant rumors that a new Indiana Jones movie is coming soon.
