Thank George Lucas?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Thank Lucas?

I think he's far too busy counting his money on the back of a $10.000,- a night hooker to notice that his legions of fans are thanking him :roll: :D

Then you're stuck with me. Unless someone uses the name 'Atuobloke' by mistake.

I doubt it. Lucas has never been sexual and since his divorce, his wife had an affair with the builder on Lucas Ranch, he's had no seemingly no sexual thoughts and only shows affection for children (But not suspicious like Jacko)

Er yeah? :lurk:

Seriously. He was divorced basically on the grounds of not wanting to give his wife a good seeing to. He had never been in another relationship and hates and forbids any sexual undertones in his films.

What else can you conclude?

When was he divorced?

Shouldn't Yoda be helping out little kids whose parents are divorced now by eating Reese's Pieces?

During Return of the Jedi. Never had a relationship since. His ex-wife often sited and implied Lucas had no intreaste in sex and creating 'adult' relationships with women .

Hence his seeming emotionaly cold feel to his films and the fact the love story in AotC is so basic as to be missunderstood by the author who then takes from Mills and Boon thinking it is a good guide to relationships. Lucas got Spielberg to make Return of the Sith ring true emotionally and act as a consultant.

The RotJ outfit was a one off and directed by somebody else. Lucas is famous for hating boobs on Leia.

I dont know how somebody with so little charisma has been responsible for some bad ass characters - maybe because Harrison Ford played a few of them?

Go watch the bonus disk from the indy trilogy, the man could turn bore anything.
