In the book <span class=“Bold”>The Cinema of George Lucas</span>, there is two photos of George Lucas, on the set of <span class=“Bold”>The Phantom Menace</span>, wearing a black t-shirt, with a white text on it that says:

<div class=“PostQuote”>STAR WARS™:
“…a film with comic-book characters, an unbelievable story, no political or social commentary, lousy acting, preposterous dialogue, and a ridiculously simplistic morality. In other words, a BAD MOVIE.”</div>

Maybe, with the prequels, Lucas tried to prove that sentence wrong?

(by the way, the quoted text above comes from this 1997 New Yorker article)

I'd like to see this photo. Every time I've ever seen Lucas anywhere besides an awards show or some official ceremony, he's always got a plaid shirt on. I have never seen a video or still of him (recently anyway) wearing anything other than that. It's always a plaid shirt and jeans. So call me skeptical, but I don't believe he was wearing a black t-shirt with white text until I see it.

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

To be honest, I haven't. I haven't watched many of the web docs and I certainly haven't watched all the behind the scenes items on the DVDs. I can barely take the commentary that's on those discs, let alone watching all the featurettes.

Still, you'd think that if he was wearing t-shirts most of the time, he wouldn't be known as "the plaid wearing individual".
