    Well he probably hasn't really done anything there for 25 years and he sure doesn't need to work for a living anymore.

    Not a huge surprise considering the 'retirement' announcement that came with Red Tails.

    Sadly this will give him more time to screw up the original trilogy and probably the Indy films too.

    Dangit. I was two votes away from beating Kathleen Kennedy for that position. I had a whole presentation and everything. I had a playable unaltered Star Wars 50g BluRay disc that had the original "as first shown in theaters" version of the film. 4K scan with massive amounts of clean up work and no signs of DNR. Lossless audio! And her point?

    "I produced Congo."

    AAAAHHHH! I can't believe she beat me with that!

    Bring it on. Something he should have done long ago. I think he may actually shine more in doing smaller films.

    This really doesn't change anything. He will still have final say over SW until his death.

    This is what everyone needs to remember. As of this moment, George still owns the Indy and SW franchises and has no plans to sell. His "retirement" is a non story. When he eventually sells the rights to the two most popular franchises to Mich....THAT will be a story.

    Not really all that surprising since he's allegedly one of those 2012 end of the world believers. It's tough to find another person of his caliber that looks so damn unhappy all the time. The Stannis Baratheon of our age.

    Oh well, good luck to him all the same. I hope he can finally do something that makes him happy. If it means totally not dealing with society whatsoever then even better, I don't blame him one bit.

    From what I understand, she was the major driving force behind Jurassic Park III, so take that as you will...

    I liked Jurassic Park 3 a heck of a lot more than the Lost World, so I give her kudos for not ending the JP movies on a really sour dud.

    According to current U.S. copyright law, 70 years after the date of George Lucas' death unless someone extends the copyright. Regardless, we'll all be worm food long before it happens.
