That's kinda cool. I should take my daughter on that before it changes.

Never been there. Would like to see it, but I consider Disney to be part of the Evil Empire...

I was there for the last of his three shows, but during our Q&A these people asked the stupidest/most obvious questions in the world, like a guy that was dressed up as Jack Sparrow asked "Why aren't there any more pirates in Star Wars" and "How did you come up with the title 'Star Wars.'"

But at least I didn't have to wait in line to see him, I got there 5 minutes before the show started and heard the call "If you want to see George Lucas, go up the stairs and all the way down the hall." I got fifth row on the column right next to the stage and I wasn't crazy enough to stand in line since midnight.

Yeah, I've done the convention thing many times and have had "cringeworthy" moments when some ja-moke would ask William Shatner what the combination to Captain Kirk's safe was. Just want to smack them.

Its been 15 years since I went on that ride, but as I remember, you get shot at by TIE Fighters. Maybe he'll make the Star Tours ship shoot first.

I didn't even notice the URL for this article. I read the article seperate from finding it here. GL also confirmed the TV show stuff. In fact, I'm most suprised by him saying there are 2 shows planned.

Did any fans lambast him over his refusal to release the original trilogy on dvd? Somehow I doubt it.

I was going to......but they closed the question line when I was about 2 people away.

I was going to let him have it too over this issue. Everyone is so nice to celebrities and they never ask the tough questions. I was going to make it so damn crystal clear that I wanted those versions and just how much they meant to me. I was even going to tell him that I didn't care about his changes and that he could change it to Greedo shooting, missing and killing himself....I don't give a flying fuck as long as he makes the originals available too.

At the one I was at....some dumbass nerd asked him something that had an episode 3 spoiler in it and he got booed. Kid was completely fucking clueless. It was funny, but I did want kick him in the head.

Are you sure that the questioners were not hired by management to snowball Lucas, and that they closed the line down because the rest of the people actually happened to be real fans?

No, all of us were fans from out of the crowd. Definitely now a set-up Q&A...

I'm surprised Lucas did this. I figured he would be too chicken shit to do it cuz someone would get up there and knock him for some of the things he's done.

I sure as hell was. No fucking way was I gonna pass that opportunity up. And there was a million other really good questions I wanted to ask about all kinds of things....
but I would have asked about the OT cuz this whole original version stuff runs very deep with me....and he needed to be TOLD by a fan that what he's done isn't right.

This is what I would have done if I was at that Q&A: I would hold up a photo of Hayden at the end of ROTJ and scream "WHY!!! WHYYYY!!!!"

Then GL would get up and say "This interview is over! Insolent pricks! Guards, kill'em all!"
“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

LOL...actually, I can kind of picture him say something like "Well, I had some thoughts about this, and it's all being taken care of in the 2007 boxed set. Let me show it to you", then some LucasFilm flunkies in uniforms quite reminiscent of the nazi khaki uniforms from Raiders show up and are bringing in a box that looks like the ark...they open it up...the spirits come out...Lucas standing there..."It's beautiful!!!"
