I have serious misgivings about a celebrity "gossip" site being the only source for that story about Lucas.
Seriously, nobody else who was there tweeted or wrote about this in the past year?
Why not, this kind of thing happens all the time. I remember a tweet from the editor of Creative Screenwriting when Lucas was at a DGA party and someone asked him and he said something like "The original doesn't exist." You'd think people at a DGA party would remark on this if they overheard it. But its a busy party and probably only two or three people even heard it in the first place, and if they ever told anyone they probably just mentioned it to their friends. Probably the don't even care. For Lucas to say what it's reported he said is completely believeable because he has said it to reporters many times in the past. Maybe the harshness of this particular time is overstated, or maybe Lucas was just harsher than normal because it wasn't an official statement and just off-the-record conversation at a party, or maybe he was just having a bad day and didn't want to be there. He is notoriously uncomfortable at public events and fan interaction specifically. I mean, he clearly doesn't respect his fans all equally anyway.
Anyway, if someone made a facebook post about how they heard Lucas tell some geeks a party "Too bad", you'd never be able to find it anyway.
