re: People ask "How will a boycott affect George Lucas, super-billionaire?" )))

The best you can hope for is to prick his vanity a little. Take it from someone who's seen at close range--celebity brings on dementia. The human soul cannot tolerate a lot of attention without being corrupted--and I'm starting to believe there are no exceptions.

So--the actual movie box office is not as important as the residual licenses. And Lucas is LAZY--compare him to Peter Jackson in productivity. This is his last hurrah. I doubt you can even poke his ego--

Speaking of Lucas and Jackson--Star Wars seems really lame now that we have Lord of the Rings. That's what Lucas was imitating, anyway...and even Lucas knows the difference between a shallow fake and the genuine article.

When it comes to popular entertainment...I hate to see conservatives do themselves out of an evening's pleasure. We work awfully hard, though I know that being insulted by our "court jesters" grows wearisome.

Just don't buy the Happy Meal...

That's Mcdonalds. Burger King is the fast food tie in this go round. If one is going to boycott you need to keep the licensees straight. No M&Ms or Pepsi for sure. :)
