Disney paid $4 billion for Star Wars five years ago, this weekend The Last Jedi will combined with TFA and Rogue One have earned Disney just over $4 billion from movie ticket sales alone. 

Mind you this doesn't include things like all the merchandising money, toys, Blu-Rays/DVDs, just box office tickets. 

They made out like bandits with this deal. Lucas should have asked for $8 billion.
