Looks like George Lucas was at the Detours panel at Celebration 6!

This is an amazing appearance by George in that he comes off like a bit of a jerk

1.  He makes jokes about Seth Greene's and the other writer's height.

2. He makes jokes that he basically can't stand them and can only stay around them for a short time.

3. He makes a racist comment.  All the writers are taking photos of their experience onstage.  George jokes about this and says "The writers are all tourists" and  "Our writers meetings take place in Japan!"  So essentially hes saying that japanese people are known for taking pictures everywhere.  Nice stereotype.

4. The actor who voices Obi Wan Kenobi for the clone wars shows up onstage and introduces himself to George.  Apparently hes never met him!

This somewhat hostile attitude from George definitely makes me believe the story of the fans who asked him about releasing the untouched OT and him telling them to grow up.  The guy we see on stage in this clip would definitely do that.

Another thing I've observed about Detours is that it takes place between Ep. 3 and ep. 4.  But the main characters are pretty much all OT characters.  Why didn't George make a show making fun of the prequel characters? Oh yeah because he hates the OT and doesn't care.
