... tidbit: Really, with the last one, Steven wasn’t that enthusiastic. I was trying to persuade him. But now Steve is more amenable to doing another one. Yet we still have the issues about the direction we’d like to take. I’m in the future; Steven’s in the past. He’s trying to drag it back to the way they were, I’m trying to push it to a whole different place. So, still we have a sort of tension. This recent one came out of that. ..says the interview, whose entirety you can find HERE . Interesting stuff, some of which might explain the lackluster/disjointed quality some fans ...

George Lucas: A Fifth Indiana Jones?

... feel about a fifth Indiana Jones. The franchise has done so well — and I even loved the last movie, including the monkey scene. I would love for it to continue if they focused on Shia LaBeouf as the young Indy taking over the reins from his old man (if Shia can keep himself out of trouble, that is).

In what probably won’t be a surprise for anyone baffled and frustrated by the recent Star Wars and even the newest Indiana Jones , Lucas is back to his old tricks of messing with things that should be left alone and taking all the credit in the meantime. “If I can come up with another idea that they like, we’ll do another,” he says about Indiana Jones , before accusing Spielberg of being the real issue in getting the most recent one made. ...

... Which is why a revealing London Times profile of Lucas has us so torn today. Yes, we can accept Lucas's preoccupation with raising a female cagefighter by himself as a likely contributor to Howard the Duck's downfall. Fine.

... His latest interview with the Times Online is full of all sorts of odd quotes, like how he points out the fact that he's not directing Red Tails; that they got "a black director."

Nevertheless, above you can see a model of Mr. Lucas frozen in carbonite, which, honestly, might be the perfect place to stick the guy for a little while so he doesn't muck up anything else.

[image] Multibillionaire übergeek George Lucas has an interview in the Times of London this week, and it’s fairly clear that he and the interviewer are playing softball. Okay, George does refer to next year’s Star Wars television series, a project that promises to play to all his worst instincts. And a moment later, he makes a thinly veiled threat to give us a fifth Indiana Jones movie. But mostly it’s pretty mild stuff: George’s career, his family, and his extraordinarily high opinion of himself: I am the father of our Star Wars movie world—the filmed entertainment, the ...
