If you’ve been reading up as of late, though Bob Iger stends to stay longer as Disney CEO, James Murdoch is looking to be next in line (oh, so awkward!):

But Rupert prefers that Iger stays:

That’s not all, the deal is expected to be done by Thursday:

Finally, a latest article:

Again, I so want this deal to go through because to have Star Wars in a way fully owned by Fox again, that’s all I really wanted. They were always SW’s rightful home to me.
