I understand the parallels he was getting at. But my main question has to be is did he deny the comments that he allegedly made at Cannes? Also, What did you mean by when you said he's not a part of Hollywood?
He works independently. Lucasfilm is in Northern CA not one of the Hollywood studios. Not all movies made in America are made by Hollywood. I don't see any reason to think he didn't make the comments attributed to him. I just think they've been taken out of context by these articles. And they were pretty innocuous to begin with. (My movies are about war...and there is a war on now! What a coincidence!)
