Wow, that's very interesting. Thanks. I liked this question and answer, though:

Concerning Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 video games for PC and Xbox, how involved were you in the production or contribution? I personally felt the story/plot in Knights of the Old Republic was brilliant. Star Wars has been your gift to modern culture. Thank you Mr. Lucas and I wish you many years of health and happiness.

George Lucas: I don’t have any hand in crafting the plot lines for the Star Wars video games. I can’t micro-manage every aspect of Star Wars. I’ve hired good people who can create entertaining games for the public. If you think the video-game plot lines are inferior to the films, then you are not alone. The video games will never equal what I can do with the films.

How pompous can you get?! Did he even read the question? The guy says he loves the story for KotOR, and George turns around and says, "Yeah, I know it sucks. My stories are better than that!" I laughed my ass off on that one.
