DC: 30 (Mike will give a budget)
-[X]Investing in the Future: You want to Spend some of that money you made into the company and make the whole thing better DC: ??? (Linetail what you want to invest in, and how much money you want to invest in it)
--[X]A TV Division: George isn't in the business of TV. Luckily, some people like to make high-quality Television, and will gladly accept an untested company, for more creative freedom. At least the Ed Wood Types will. (Cost 100 million Start a TV Division that will allow you to make fictional pitches into TV shows. and Increases their quality by +40, on all rolls, except for SP. All TV Pitches will have a bonus to their creation in every episode.) Name the TV Division "The Goose's Garden". Invest money from Lucasfilms warchest.

-[X]Calling You're Parents: You are going to call your parents and see what they want. DC: 10
-[X]Networking: Well time to start finding out who might actually be interested in meeting you. (Write-in what you want to try and network with)
--[X] Harold Ramis. A writer famous for his work with National Lampoon, you've heard on the grapevine that Ramis is shopping a script of his of a golf sports comedy and he wants to be the Director. Meet with Harold and try secure funding and distribution of it as a Lucasfilms movie.
-[X]Networking: Well time to start finding out who might actually be interested in meeting you. (Write-in what you want to try and network with)
--[X] Steven Lisberger and Donald Kushner. Lisberger and Kushner are two rookies to the Hollywood game who are trying and failing to pitch a very ambitious film called Tron. Apparently it's supposed to mix live action and animation with the story being about a man sucked into a computer. Not only does this sound like a goldmine for Pixar, but the two guys remind you very much of you and George. Set up a meeting with the two and see if you can fund and distribute Tron as a Lucasfilms movie
-[X] Networking: Well time to start finding out who might actually be interested in meeting you. (Write-in what you want to try and network with)
--[X] Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs: Close friends of your brothers and his bosses from "Apple", an innovative computer company that George and many others in Lucasfilm rave about. Time to talk to them and find out if they'd be interested in some investment from Bruce...or want to work with Lucasfilm to push foreword what can be done technologically.
@Magoose Would it be possible to start a legal department? And if so, how much would it cost?
Substantially similar to Kaiser Chris' plan except: no donating almost 1/2 of Bruce's remaining funds to Romania. For 2 reasons: 1 is that Bruce needs to start securing a consistent source of income other than Lucasfilm, which will be constantly expanding and developing. 2 is that it would seriously piss off the Soviet Union.
Which, sure, sounds fun. But, think of what it really means: Bruce is already a target for them and some crazies were planning on attacking Bruce. He has a wife and child and other family that might be in the cross-fire.
Our intervention in South-East Asia was after the conflict was mostly over- while the Romanian Civil War is going on right now. Donating $175 million to the cause (which would be around $700 million in today's dollars) in the middle of an ongoing armed conflict would make him a logical target for the Soviet Union. They could reasonably assume he is sending them arms, or at least creating a path to smuggle arms in. After all, it was his company that started the entire revolution. And now he is directly funneling money into the conflict that his company started? And he already is considered an enemy of Communism?
Instead: trying to finally make contact with Apple. Perhaps to invest (the purpose of investing is to make more money so that we can actually have a sustainable charity and to invest in other companies/technologies to benefit the world) and the sooner the better.
If memory serves, Apple is considered the most innovative tech company in the world, which would mesh well with Lucasfilm.
