Movie Buzz In an interview with “The Hollywood Reporter” Thursday afternoon, Lucas explained that the famous Mos Eisley Cantina shootout was hardly altered in the 1997 Special Edition of “Star Wars: A New Hope.” George always meant for Jabba's green bagman to be the first to draw.

It's simultaneously naive and arrogant to believe that you can still throw your weight around after 22 years of mediocrity and disappointment. Yet Lucas thinks the industry owes him and if they won't abide, he'll take his ball and go home.
Movie Buzz Sounds like the fan boy backlash is finally getting to the God of Flannel.

[Update: Given that The Phantom Menace came out a long time ago, some people already knew this. If you are one of those people, please definitely leave a comment to indicate that. It would mean the world to me.] The Children Of The Green Planet who make a brief appearance in a Galactic Senate scene in The Phantom Menace are the same species as E.T. Apparently, they were inserted into the movie by George Lucas to return the favor after Steven Spielberg included a Yoda reference in E.T. I DID NOT KNOW THIS BEFORE AND FIND IT SURPRISING.

With all the changes that The Flannel One is making to “Star Wars,” it's time maybe he gets some. How do you like it, George?
Okay so probably not or “Noooooo!” But seriously, I wouldn't put it past old Georgie to go after other movies. (via cineweekly.com)
Culture Buzz George Lucas's “Jedi” Blu-ray Nooooo! botchery may have given Star Wars fans across the globe a nasty case of the douche chills, but the endless amount of YouTube lolz more than make up for it. Thanks, Internet.
Stop ruining my childhood, George Lucas. (via graphjam.memebase.com)
You know, I'm really not feeling all these Blu-ray changes to the Battle of Endor. However, the Jabba's Palace tweak is hardly noticeable. (via.)
Movie Buzz George Lucas hates us. Some of the anons at 4chan give us a taste of what changes to expect when the Star Wars Trilogy is released on Blu-Ray.

A rebel filmmaker stood before Congress in 1988 and argued, “People who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians.” His voice no doubt then took on an emotional, Jimmy Stewart-like quaver. “And if the laws of the United States continue to condone this behavior, history will surely classify us as a barbaric society.” Guess who that man became.
George Lucas is super hot on the BuzzFeed Network right now. Here's all the best viral buzz on George Lucas.
Propmaker Andrew Ainsworth takes you through a step-by-step process on how to make your very own Stormtrooper helmet. Fun fact: Ainsworth recently defeated Lucasfilm in a legal dispute over the right to sell sculptures of the Imperial headgear, which he designed for George Lucas and sold to The God Of Flannel himself back in the '70s for approximately $32 per helmet.

Turns out he doesn't believe the world will end in 2012 and his publicist is a smart ass.
It all makes sense. George has been fooling us for so many years; the hair and the beard were just a disguise. You couldn't fool us forever, George.
