hmmm, I saw the banner ad on the main page.....so now lucas is going to have an 'interview' with oprah?

This 'interview' would have been sycophantic fluff as it were, but if this is her first trip to skywalker ranch, she is really gonna fall head over heals and feel like she is in Paradise.

this is a huge scoop for lucas, oprah has a huge audience even though this show is on that new cable network.

i doubt lucas will blab about studios and art films and star wars. he'll push the whole 'its a tribute to the heart and courage of the tuskegee airmen'.

what will be interesting is if he still pushes the nonsense about red tails being a 'landmark' and a potential 'turning point' for 'black cinema'. Try and bait Oprah into saying that the movie and the production reminds her of The Color Purple. As I mentioned earlier, I rolled my eyes at this and it appears scores of other people have also really taken offense to it and are on to lucas' act. sad really, he tried hard to push the whole 'studios are racist', but his naked (and disingenious) pandering and patronizing may backfire in a bad way. especially if the reports of the film being nothing more than another pearl harbor are true.

would also be interesting to see if the other cast and crew are interviewed.
