George Lucas Marries At Skywalker Ranch

It's marriage, episode II, for the Star Wars creator George Lucas.

A Lucasfilm spokeswoman has confirmed that the producer and director married longtime girlfriend Mellody Hobson in a weekend ceremony at Skywalker Ranch, north of San Francisco.

It is the second wedding for 69-year-old Lucas, who was married to film editor Marcia Lucas from 1969 to 1983.

It is the first marriage for the 44-year-old Hobson, an investment firm president and an analyst for CBS News.

The pair have been seeing eachother since 2006.

Former US Senator Bill Bradley walked Lucas' bride down the aisle.

The Saturday afternoon ceremony was performed by journalist Bill Moyers, who was once a Baptist minister.

Guests included filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard.

Howard wrote on his Twitter feed that the ceremony was "a joy to behold" and Moyers' service was "nothing short of profound".
