Exclusive George Lucas- Talks Star Wars And Red Tails
By:John MeneghettiI had the pleasure of attending the 4th annual California Hall of Fame, on December 1st, in my hometown of Sacramento, CA
This year the California Museum was honoring 13 legendary Californians who have displayed a spirit of innovation and inspiration to the world.
The person that I wanted to talk to the most was "The Maker" George Lucas. I had the opportunity to visit ILM and Lucas Ranch in April of this year and this would be the icing on the cake. To have the opportunity meet and interview "The Great One " George Lucas.
I knew I didn't have alot of time to ask many questions, as always in Hollywood the main stars show up late and fly by little bloggers like me. But I would not let this chance pass me by!!
I wished I could have asked more interesting questions. What do u ask when u have 1 minute with the maker?
First, I introduced myself to Mr. Lucas when he came by and then I asked him the following:
Sandwichjohnfilms: Mr. Lucas, can you tell me how thing are going with your upcoming film "Red Tails"?
Lucas: Things are going really well. We are in post production and the film looks great and I am very excited for this film. It is near and dear to my heart.
Sandwichjohnfilms: How was it like working with Terrance Howard on the film?
Lucas: He was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was very professional in every sense of the word
Sandwichjohnfilms: Also can I ask you about the upcoming Star Wars TV series? When will that be coming out?
Lucas: You mean the live action TV show right? As of right now there is no date for the TV, but we are meeting with writer's and trying to get the show going.
Sandwichjohnfilms- Will Boba Fett Being making an appearance in the show and will Daniel Logan be playing him in the Television Show?
Lucas- (With a smile) It is too early to say, but you never know.
I take this to mean that Boba will be making at least an appearance in the show. Daniel did you hear this?
As I thanked Mr. Lucas, I had to pull out that piece of paper. It was a once in a life time opportunity for a guy like me who has dreamed of starting a web site about movies.
He was very short with his answer and in a hurry to get inside. Let's hope I can get another chance to spend quality time with Mr. Lucas. And ask him some real questions...
Yes, that's right, I got his autograph.
Would like to Thank Randy from TheArnoldFans for taking these pictures for me. And make sure to read his Red Carpet Adventures.
