Goldman Sachs has earned over $60m in advisory fees from The Walt Disney Company since the turn of the century, and it added to that tally this week by advising the renowned movie company on its $4bn acquisition of LucasFilm.

On October 30, while New York was dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and Goldman Sachs bankers were unable to enter their Manhattan offices, Walt Disney announced a $4.05bn stock and cash deal to buy Lucasfilm. George Lucas, chairman and founder of Lucasfilm and the creator of the Star Wars franchise, owns 100% of the business.
