And, since I'll have to say it later anyways, I'm sorry for "re-writing" the new Indiana Jones script. I know it's great where it is, right now, but I have to toy with it, after all, the character is my creation. So what if it never gets made?"

"I'm sorry for all the childhoods I wrecked with The Phantom Menace and subsequent 5 years of crap that has come out of the Star Wars Franchise.
I've decided to hire some good writers to help me write the next film and I won't be directing it either, I'm thinking of maybe given Daron Aronofsky or Guillermo Del Toro a shot at it, David Fincher is also in the running. In fact I think I'm retiring, spend some time with my kids, lose some weight, take some Community College writing courses.
Except for some storyboard approvals I'll probably be removing myself from the whole thing.

There's no way he's gonna make it to another trilogy.
Unless he can get some decent collaborators and actual listen to them I can only see this as a good thing. Very few people can screw up SW more than George Lucas is doing right now.

Retire already, Lucas, and let some fresh blood take over. You are completely out of touch with what's good in space opera nowadays.
Criminy, I was a MAJOR SW geek, before it was fashionable to be one - saw it in theatre 6 times at the original '77 release. Now I'm simply disgusted.

(2) The Death Star trench attack in IV: Lucas goes off on some bizarre tangent about the symbolism in this scene, claiming that it actually represented an Oedipal desire by Luke to distance himself from his father by attacking the trench, which represents his mother's birth canal. The act of destroying the Death Star via the port in the trench was a figurative "abortion" of his father's evil plans. I swear I'm not making this up.
(3) The "I am your father" scene from Episode V: Mark Hamill's scream was too girly and had to be dubbed. The harness he had to wear while hanging from the bridge was very uncomfortable.
