A friend wrote about enjoying a production of “Pirates of Penzance” at Oregon State. I looked for YouTube versions . . . Oh, my!

What do George Lucas and the new Droid have in common? More than you'd think! I'm stoked to get my hands on the new device being offered up by Motorola to see if it really can top my iPhone , but when I got an invite to the San Francisco launch party I noticed something interesting at the bottom: the word "droid" is licensed to Lucasfilm LTD , which means Motorola pays a fee to the Star...

I don’t know what’s worse: the fact that this video seems to be a few years old and I’ve only just seen it, or the fact that I actually wouldn’t mind watching a George Lucas remastered version of Singin’ in the Rain . Actually, I think the second one is worse. Much, much worse.

During a recent hectic week in NYC we had a chance to meet with all kinds of people. George Lucas was one of them and another was Antonio Perez, Chairman and CEO of Kodak. It was interesting to observe their different approaches to innovation. Lucas clearly says that he isn’t on top of the technology even though [...]

Every year the Today Show goes all out for Halloween. I’m fairly certain at least 30% of their annual budget must go to this effort. This year, the theme was “Star Wars” and they even worked with George Lucas to make sure the costumes were done right. I saw a couple minutes [...]

This might just be the biggest news story of the week, if it turns out to be true...which it probably isn't. The folks over at MarketSaw are reporting that George Lucas may be considering an entirely new 'Star Wars' trilogy in 3-D...and are postulating that the technological wizardry that James Cameron has wrought with Avatar is the motivating force. MarketSaw claims that this information is from...

Unstructed » GEORGE LUCAS: 1983 VS 2005 Yep. I’m no troglodyte, but I wasn’t particularly impressed with the visual approach of the later Star Wars flicks, irrespective of the innumerable story, script, and character issues. Try as he might, I think I prefer Peter Jackson’s organic tapestries of CGI and traditional film-making. It might be sci-fi fantasy, but I still don’t...

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- George Lucas didn't get to be a billionaire by delegating. George Lucas says he was "completely surprised" by "Star Wars in Concert." Holding fast to his vision -- and his marketing rights -- for the "Star Wars" empire has made it the biggest franchise in history, and made Lucas one of the most powerful people in entertainment.
