He should send an indian, like Malron Brando did. Even better, send an Ewok.

“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

...and the aftermath: (which will be able to watch edited: The AFI show honoring Lucas will air June 20 on the USA Network.)

n accepting the award, Lucas joked that he started out not being able to write a word, but became "the king of wooden dialogue."

cnn.com

William Shatner -- Capt. Kirk from another great space saga, "Star Trek" -- offered a musical number "from one star voyager to another." He performed a variation of "My Way," telling Lucas "you did it your way" while dancers in "Star Wars" stormtrooper costumes did a chorus line routine.

"Live long," Shatner told Lucas. "You've already prospered enough."

IESB.net interviewed Lucas, watch.

I'll tune in to watch Shatner do that number; sounds great. I've always thought he was good fun with his singing, though I must say his Has Been actually doesn't fall into that catagory & is in fact a terrific album.

Other than that i'll pass.

I am so going to buy that book. If it isn't bullshit, which I don't think it will be, that's going to shed some serious light on LucASS and we'll see what a schmuck he really is!!!!

What's actually funny is that Lucass is even in the books cos he's such a fucking half breed of a director.

Since Lucasfilm prevented AFI from screening an original print of Star Wars some time back, I guess nobody is holding a grudge?

Brando had the slickest sense of humor around. The indian he sent was actually a hispanic actress. Speculation abounds, but I for one don't think it was an accident.
