I think he was also asked how long until Episode II would be released and it was "3 years, although I wish it was 4."
Yeah, and her desk was converted into an almost-life-size podracer. I remember Lucas looking kind of awkward and straining to be constantly funny--he isn't exactly the popular-talk-show type of material. It was an amusing moment of how far-reaching the TPM explosion was.
That was a rumor that appeared out of nowhere with no evidence to substantiate it with, nor does it make any sense when you think about Lucas' motives for destroying the OOT--aside from the fact that the term special edition is not even used anymore. It was only used from 1997-1999. There is no more "special edition". Aside from that, it is extremely incoherant and implausible from a business contract standpoint. That rumor was pure bullshit from the get-go and i am still surprised at how many people humored its legitimacy.
according to the offcial site those who buy the star wars archives from steve sanweet and peter vilmer will get to read lucas story treatment for the empire strikes back, to the tune of 80.00 dollars.

I've skimmed over huge sections now, including the one about George and Marcia's divorce. I didn't see anything addressing the rumors that Marcia got %15 of sales of the OT and that maybe that's why George changed them into different movies, aka the Special Editions.

what is the star wars archives? Is this similar to that book, From the Lucasfilm Archives, which was a collection of props, models and costumes? Fantastic book that was. $80 is a rip off but the rarity of reading Lucas' original ESB treatment is enticing enough to make me seriously consider it.
