6/4/08 - George Lucas has created legendary film heroes like Luke Skywalker and Indiana Jones, but the US director says that in real life, his hero is Barack Obama.

Couple that with Georgie The Hutt's juvenile and superficial "Obama-would-make-a-great-Luke-Skywalker-or-something" pontifications, I'm glad to see that lightning has now struck four times in the same exact spot.
If Georgie continues to make political choices in the same way that he makes his lamer & lamer Star Wars projects, hopefully both of these abject losers will disappear from the celebrity front-lines come this November.
Can’t we wait until Obama is president, if he’s elected, before people say he’s a hero?
Maybe after eight years of Obama, people could look back and say he did (a, b, and c) which made the world and the US better because of (this, this, and that reason). But he has accomplished so little in his life so far, it’s hard to admire his “achievements”.
This animated piece of crap would have stunk to high heaven even if George Lucas were the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan. The point is that the dismal box office for this nonsense that should have been released straight to DVD has absolutely nothing to do with George’s political viewpoint and everything to do with the fact that people could see enough from the trailers to know the movie would stink.
Barack Obama is his hero? What has he done and when did Lucas ever hear of him in the first place? I’d need more than 143 days of showing up at the Seanate sometimes, sonetimes not to judge heroism. When my daughter didn’t pick me for her My Hero essay, it didn’t bother me because she picked her brother who was serving in Baghdad instead.

When you're, like, worth $2B, like, who cares?
Why don’t they make movies celebrating bureaucracy. Conservatives need to make some movies showing the world the left wants. Show little girls being rushed off to get abortions wit out their parents consent. Show women getting forced into abortions in China. Show fathers being imprisoned because they don’t want their kids indoctrinated in the homosexual lifestyle. The left makes their distorted bitter vignettes into movies and they don’t sell. They want us to cry a river over broke back mountain but they don’t want us to consider little kids left to have their minds and bodies molested.
Jim,.......he’s dead.
LOL!
I was wondering why Fox passed on this project....I guess they knew it wouldnt do well.
I saw the previews and for the life of me couldnt figure out why they made an animation version...other than to promote a video game.
Good question. Given the quality of his work lately, it's obvious that Georgie certainly doesn't care. I don't begrudge him his success, he's welcome to it.
But having grown up with the first SW Trilogy, Lucas has demonstrated a tone-deafness by writing/directing/producing extremely juvenile, low-wattage CGI-heavy junkfood targeted strictly to anyone under the age of 10 years old.
If he doesn't value me as an adult consumer, I certainly reserve the right to take delight in his failures. Now, he may end up with a commercial hit in terms of box office $$$, but it's definitely no "Dark Knight" which will easily outlast this animated piece of junk.
I just assumed that the premise and script for the Clone Wars movie was so lame, George couldn’t get any humans or CG characters (yousa tinkin yousa people gonna die) to appear in the film.
the point of the cgi movie was to sell the video game.
Lucas is in the business of selling merchandising tie ins.
Even the best star wars fan film he picke on the scifi channel was a love song to action figures. (buy more merchandise!)
It is sad to see something that so captured the imagination fall into the left wing delusional abyss.
Obama is Obi-lucas’ anakin.
I thought about seeing it, I go to the movies once a month, I’m not sure if I want to see it now.
I remember that thread were Lucus said Obama would be a jedi. I said “A dark jedi, maybe.” And all hell broke loose.
Hey, let’s face it: Luke had no experience when he first went into battle against The Empire... He had The Force!
Maybe Lucas thinks Obama’s got “The Force”! Yeah, that’s the ticket! Let’s elect a guy because he has “The Force!”
Lucas never recovered from his multiple nervous breakdowns when Linda Ronstadt dumped him. Ewoks, Howard the Duck, and Phantom Menace proves the man has got serious mental issues and needs to have the Star Wars franchise removed from his creative control for its survival. Its no wonder he’s in love with Obama.
Hollywood has now coined a new term “Nuke the Fridge” based from the scene in the latest Indiana Jones movie. Its a variation of “Jump the Shark”.
“Nuke the Fridge” means you officially destroy a successful franchise.
“The Clone Wars” should’ve been made with Legos.
