We've heard this before from George Lucas, but he tells The New York Times that Red Tails was his last big project at Lucasfilm. "I'm retiring," he said. "I'm moving away from the business, from the company, from all this kind of stuff." The newspaper adds that the 67-year-old Lucas was careful to leave himself an out clause for a fifth "Indiana Jones" film, however. "Once this is finished, he’s done everything he’s ever wanted to do," producer Rick McCallum added. "He will have completed his task as a man and a filmmaker (Comingsoon.net)."
Thank Christ! If you read this site then you know my hatred for basically anyone associated with Indian Jones and the Cystal Skull. I thought the South Park episode where Lucas and Speilberg were raping Indy was the most accurate assesment I had seen involoving that film.
Lucas made Star Wars. I am not a HUGE Star Wars guy, but I fucking repect it. Then he had to go make 3 more movies, that were just the worst. I'm just glad he is finally going away before he found a way to rape that franchise or another other anymore then he already has. There is no a Star Wars cartoon, and rumors of a live action show, so maybe I have spoken too soon.
I think this guy and his stupid face. You created some of the greatest franchises in histroy, then decided to just milk it for everything it's worth while not even going a good job and taking a giant dump on your career. Go to the Mr. Lucas.
Maybe JJ Abrams can take over everything, because he is really is one of the only great ones left.
