I've never read or heard about this 30th anniv.Empire, after party "meet and greet". I used to be a big Lucas apologist,but if this story is true and even if George is "tired" of being questioned even politely,about his "Product" then that's too god damned bad! Since the very beginning when he got the licenses to sell Star Wars posters and pins,it was all about him being able to finance these movies. I admired that he wanted the ability to make these films HIS way without Hollywood interference,but come on...he and his companies have been churning out toys,trading cards,models,statues,etc,etc. Countless fiction and non fiction books have been published. I personally love reference,"making of" books and they have churned out a Library full of them. I've bought many of them and other products enabling Lucas to develop his "Empire of Dreams". Now to hear him tell true fans in person to "grow up....its only a movie"????? No George,it's not. You've made it a multi generational phenom! I once,not long ago thought he was the creator of a world I loved to visit and explore,but anymore my admiration goes to all the wonderful artists whose blood,sweat and tears went into making the magic.Mr.Lucas is ,in my "geeky" way,only the evil Emperor who's been playing us like a "harp from Hell", not giving a crap about his subjects/fans. Lucas with his frustrated "grow up,these are only movies" moment,has now made me feel like what was once a beautiful relationship,now is just him saying "umm,thanks for the f**k,now F**K OFF!
