God talks with George Lucas about the new ‘Star Wars’ movie, and rather than pleased to see the new incarnation, Lucas is sorer than a wookiee with ‘roids. The first indication that perhaps Lucas shouldn’t have sold the rights for any price comes when asked how he liked the latest film. “I think the fans are going to love it, it’s very much the kind of movie they’ve been looking for,” was the noncommittal response from Lucas.
While Lucas and God roam hilariously all over the Star Wars world – past and present, God picks up on a bitter undercurrent from Lucas, and explores it as only a true devotee can.
In truth, Lucas, who who ceded all control when he sold the film rights to Disney, recently told the Washington Post that selling the franchise is like a divorce. “I gotta go to the wedding,” he said. “My ex will be there, my new wife will be there, but I’m going to have to take a very deep breath and be a good person and sit through it and just enjoy the moment, because it is what it is and it’s a conscious decision that I made.”
Ouch!
