Jacob Hall — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 15:05:11 +0000

It's the kind of thing that sounds like an April Fool's Day prank, but for 'Star Wars' fans it will be an exploration of one of the greatest "What if?" scenarios of all time. Dark Horse Comics has announced that it is adapting George Lucas' original 'Star Wars' treatment into a comic miniseries. Sure, 'Star Wars' comics are nothing new, but Lucas' original ideas were so radically and wildly different than the finished films that this should prove fascinating and utterly unique.

Q) On this day in 1969, the Rolling Stones played Altamont Speedway in California. During that concert, an 18-year old fan was stabbed and killed by the Hells Angels in front of the stage. That scene was part of the documentary ‘Gimmie Shelter’ which was released on this day in 1970. One of the camera operators on the crew of that movie has gone on to much bigger and better things in the movie world. Who is he?

'Star Wars: Episode 7′ — Just How Involved Will George Lucas Be in the New Trilogy?

Eric Walkuski — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:54:49 +0000

While we wait patiently (ever so patiently...) for a director to finally be named to helm 'Star Wars: Episode 7', we must look elsewhere to feed our 'Star Wars' hunger.

George Lucas will certainly do nicely! Ever since the news broke that the man would be on board in an advisory role during the development of 'Episode 7' (and beyond), most of us have been wondering just how connected he will be. To hear Lucas tell it, he's just sort of going to be hanging around, waiting for people to ask him something.

George Lucas Reveals His Post-'Star Wars' Plans and New Movies

Eric Walkuski — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 16:15:18 +0000

No 'Star Wars: Episode 7' for George Lucas! In case you haven't heard (yeah right), Lucas recently sold his Lucasfilm empire to Disney for a meager $4 billion, giving the future of 'Star Wars' over to the Mouse House and Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy. A stunning development that immediately reinvigorated the 'Star Wars' brand and turned the entire fanboy focus toward the beloved franchise once again.

But what about George? He'll act as creative consultant on the next 'Star Wars' trilogy, starting with 'Star Wars: Episode 7,' but by and large he'll be leaving the force in someone else's hands. So the question is, what does the man do with his time now?

George Lucas Is Giving His 'Star Wars' Money to Education

Damon Houx — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 03:52:54 +0000

It's easy to poke fun at George Lucas. He directed the prequel trilogy after all, and refuses to acknowledge the original cuts of the first three 'Star Wars' movies. But when Lucas does good, that's no joke. And today word broke that Lucas will be giving the majority of the money he got for selling Lucasfilm to educational philanthropy.
