"George Lucas has put almost $2bn in Disney shares up for potential sale. The Star Wars creator was given a 2% stake in Disney upon its purchase of Lucasfilm last year - making him the company&amp;#039;s second largest shareholder after Steve Jobs&amp;#039;s estate.  Lucas&amp;#039;s trust registered the shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday (February 6). Bloomberg notes a sale is not necessarily imminent, but the move does mean that the shares - which number over 37 million - could now be sold at a time of the filmmaker&amp;#039;s choosing.  Documents state that the estimated value of each share is $53.78 (\u00C2\u00A334.36), as based on New York Stock Exchange figures for January 30, 2013.  This puts the maximum value of Lucas&amp;#039;s stake in Disney at $1,993,798,414 (\u00C2\u00A31,273,887,705). Lucas intends to donate most of the money he received from the sale of Lucasfilm to &amp;quot;philanthropic endeavours&amp;quot;. He established the George Lucas Educational Foundation, which promotes innovation in schools, in 1991. &amp;#039;Star Wars&amp;#039; - 15 rare behind-the-scenes photographs - photo gallery:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
