I doubt he would have gotten this were it not for his not-so-subtle digs at Bush and the Republicans present in Ep. III
To: kiriath_jearim
Mark Hamill ought to curse Lucas for being the birth/death of his acting career.

I don't care for his politics, either.
But, IMHO, he deserves the award . . . big time. Hopefully, the fanfare will stick to the great entertainment his films have brought my way.

***"George Lucas is a master storyteller,***
What a crock!
I've been a SW fans since the sixth grade.
Recently I sat through Ep. III.
Even with the spectacular effect, at points I found the movie extremely boring!
What lifeless characters!
To: PetroniusMaximus
Have you seen ROTS? There weren't any digs at Bush.

Your opinion of ROTS is in the minority.

I thank Mr. Lucas for his stories. I also thank him for doing what he did not intend - namely, making the Dark Side the right side to be on.

"Director Steven Spielberg will present the prestigious honourThe same ass-kissing director who reportedly came out of Revenge of the Sith "weeping" tears of joy.
Retch!

Jar-Jar, the "Death Star" of engaging story telling!
To: Windsong
Spielberg is just as good as Lucas in his own right. Speilberg doesn't have to ass kiss anybody.

Lucas didn't do anything to Hammill. He managed his self-destruction all by himself.

Actually Mark Hamill went on to have a good career in voice acting and acting in video games (Wing Commander series). You may have heard one of two of the voices he can use and not know it. Mark Hamill voiced the Batman The Animated series Joker from all the way back to 1992. And continued playing the Joker all the way into the Batman Beyond Movie and the Justice League series.
To this day, the Joker laugh that Mark Hamill can do still sends chills running down my spine.

Have you seen ROTS? There weren't any digs at Bush. I saw it. It's speculative. People put political digs in movies all the time. BTW, I gave the film 3 stars out of 4.

Not according to a quick survey I just did!
(and yes, I am currently by myself... but that's beside the point)

George Lucas is a master storyteller... Well, maybe...but it'd be a lot more believeable if he could write dialogue!

I thought he did a pretty good job with American Graffiti. One of my favorite movies.
