man..i've been there. we took pics of George's office for some magazine..i was an intern...

it was amazing..he had all the cool stuff. the grail dairy, the wand from Willow, some yoda doll.

the place was badass!! he had his own fire department..they flooded a fake river at some sawmill to make the pic more dramatic.

believe it or not..i was supposed to double date with him. he was dating a sister of the girl i was dating..i bailed..i was to nervous with nothing to wear..hahah.

I read the news story too. I was shocked looking at his portrait photo - last time I saw a picture of him, I remember him as a pretty clean and cool looking mid-aged dude.

Well Lucas was putting out Disney Star Wars anyway... might as well let Disney do it

jar jar on ice-

I have always thought it would be cool to use the original cast in Episode 7. They would not need to do any computer effects to age them. Have them all come out of the retirement home and save the universe one more time and teach the next generation how it was done!

I was given a tour of Skywalker Ranch as well by the sound engineer manager, who I had done some business with. My girlfriend, her daughter, and a friend of the daughter's were allowed in. George's house was at the top of Skywalker Ranch, southern mansion style I would say. We were having lunch in the cafeteria and I asked if George was around. No, I was told. He was in England working on Episode I. Five minutes later he was in the cafeteria with a tray getting food like the rest of us. For some reason, he's the famous guy I would keep running into. Saw him in the line for a Luau on the big island once as I walked down the line towards the back. He saw me recognize him, but I didn't say anything. Didn't want to draw attention to him. Saw him once at Balboa Cafe in SF, where I used to go most Sundays for brunch. Having brunch with Linda Ronstadt.

Skywalker Ranch is amazing. Several buildings, each a different style. The sound editing building was like an Italian Villa, as I recall (without googling it). Grapes in front that were given by Francis Ford Coppola. Full size theater in the building, several sound stages and such. All the buildings were set far apart from each other.

It's a trap!

I hope hey don't butcher the whole thing... I loved Star Wars when I was a kid and now my son knows more about it than I ever did.

I'm still trying to understand episode 3. Why did Luke go over? I mean I get it but it's still a stretch. He gave up everything :confused:

Luke was born in episode 3? Do you mean 6? And luke didn't go over, came close, but didn't.

But anyway, I do not think this is good news to me, the longer Disney has had possession of Pixar, the less I like their films, Wall-E being an exception.

Pirates of the Caribbean 1 was good, but for the most part, I'm not too big into Disney's stuff.

Sorry yes. I meant Anakin.

He went over because he thought it was the only way to save Padme. Sidious had tricked him into thinking that he could save her life. The irony is that his going over is what killed her.

Add the pic for historical accuracy purposes of course.

I think this is a GOOD thing.

Lucas basically lost the plot with ROTJ and the Ewoks, then came him meddling with the original "special editions" adding the CGI nonsense and the "Greedo shoots first" crap. The less said about the prequels the better--total garbage. Not to mention the last Indian Jones fiasco.

Lucas may have had "it" at some point, but he is waaaaay past his prime.

I agree with Lucas being past his prime.

I like what Disney did with Marvel and most of the comic book movies...Avengers was great and I hope they can do as good or better with Star Wars.

Disney is a juggernaut.

Upon a star, you wish...

nah..that's too big to be a deathstar.

one of em went bat-sheet crazy ................. they'd have to up her meds.

"...I've got a really bad feeling about this..."


But...it might just result in a new Star Wars movie with dialog that doesn't make us cringe!

Hmmm.......Imagine Robin Williams doing his Aladdin's Genie thing as the voice of a young Yoda.
