Was there anything said about why the company was sold? Obviously it was probably $$$, but I didn't know if they were financially unsound or if they were just getting out while the getting was good.

They just "answered" this question in the call. Apparently Lucas starting thinking about retirement from Lucasfilm 5 years ago, and decided now was the time. Not likely that there were any financial difficulties at Lucasfilm that caused it.
