I wonder how he feels about the state of Star Wars and if he regrets selling the IP for $4,100,000,000

I don't wonder about that.
Fpbp
Checked. That neck fat is also a bad sign of pre diabetes.
This guy is nothing but a greedy dork moron. I really doubt he cares about any of it beyond people shitting on him so much for ruining all his films
Do zoomers genuinely not know that Lucas donated almost the entire 4 billion to charity like a week after the sale? It was never about money. Say what you will be he didn’t sell it for money he had way more then he needed. Not to mention almost every studio was offering him more for it but he choose to sell to Disney specifically
moron, he gave the money to the charity foundation that he owns, or his wife, I don't remember. Money laundering 101.
And guess who is not paying taxes anymore? George
don't care even if that's true. George has demonstrated that he operates almost entirely on greed over and over again.
>he choose to sell to Disney specifically
WOW!
Now I dislike him even more.
I just mean he turned down double in some cases triple the amount of money to not sell it to Fox or Sony both who were interested to the tune of 10 billion+ the decision had nothing to do with financial gain
>wakes up and flosses with George's butthole hair everyday
>I just mean
>the decision had nothing to do with financial gain
Or integrity, your implying?
>Do zoomers genuinely not know that Lucas donated almost the entire 4 billion to charity like a week after the sale?
He donated half of it, he kept 2 billion in Disney stock which is still close to 4 billion today.
>Not to mention almost every studio was offering him more for it but he choose to sell to Disney specifically
This is the biggest mistake. Any other studio would've been better for the brand compared to Disney.
WB or Universal would've been great fits and made good movies. Or 20th Century Fox.
>Do zoomers genuinely not know that Lucas donated almost the entire 4 billion to charity like a week after the sale?
Did he donate it to Bill Gates?
This is literally bullshit, George made one (generous) donation of $175 million to USC's film school and that's it. Lucasshills literally are detached from reality and made up some story of him donating the ENTIRETY of the money he made, even though half of the sale was in Disney stock which he hasn't touched.
All of this shit is public information that is easily accessible but prequelbabies are fricking morons who can't read
I’ve mentioned all the donations in this thread and yes they are public information you fricking moron
He's made some token donations as tax writeoffs but this idea that George donated ALL the money he got from the sale is literally fantasy, prequelgays need to paint George as a jesus figure to justify their own delusions
charity is a scam, probably did to avoid the irs
The prequels are just as bad as the shit Disney is churning out.
No. The prequels are bad, but not nearly as bad as the sequels.
Late millennial moron with nostalgia goggles. The prequels are as awful and in many aspects far worse.
>The prequels are as awful and in many aspects far worse
cope. RoTS is better than anything in the sequels, and the franchise was still healthy after the prequels. Look where it's at now.
It's over.
YES, he made the prequels. But please don't forget, he also made the ORIGINAL.
He is the sole creator of SW.
Disney Nu Wars are unwatchable, the Prequels are a masterpiece compared to the Disney gargabe.
Actually the prequels are much worse.
You should unironically be killed for such bad taste / terrible lies
Kill all leftoids
He knew he sold it to white slavers
Andor makes it all worth it
you mean the ewok place from rotj?
That was a big snooze.
>selling the IP for $4,100,000,000
>regrets
kek
Notch got 2bn for minecraft. Star wars should be worth way more than 4bn.
Why do you say so?
Minecraft cracked 300Million units sold, if anything Notch was the one who got the raw deal.
Why would he feel bad?
It was already a dying franchise when he was selling it.
He made a great investment decision.
He looked and sounded like he immediately regretted it.
It was his baby after all.
He obviously felt bad about selling it.
But did nevertheless as it was the most rational decision (and movies are not actual babies).
>But did nevertheless as it was the most rational decision (and movies are not actual babies).
selling it wasn't the problem, it was WHO he sold it too
His now wife forced him to do it. It was family or star wars. Lucas already dealt with it before
>family or star wars
The nerds dilemma.
For most, it's an easy choice.
>racism outside of /b/
>His now wife forced him to do it.
....Another Disney plant?
?si=1SuO4vYJMQa8O_WJ
He does regret it, but he tries not to stew in it.
ironic isn't it? he now has enough money to do anything he wants, except for the one thing that he wants to do, which is make another Star Wars film.
>you think he regrets making 4 billion dollars
He should have sold it to a Japanese company like Bandai Namco, Nintendo, Toei Animation, Toho, etc
I don't care what he thinks of his 4 billion dollars, I regret it.
He probably does... he was already rich, doubt his life is better from the money he got
He trusted disney would not frick it up
As long as he has is rocket car and solid gold house, he'll be ok
He doesn't regret it, if he made new movies himself fans would spend the next 20 years b***hing about him
George Lucas makes movies he just screens to friends. That's how rich he is
>George Lucas makes movies he just screens to friends.
i doubt this, but I hope we get to see them when he dies if true
Kino if true
He feels great. He became rich as frick and got the last laugh after Disney made a sequel trilogy that made his prequel trilogy look like a masterpiece in comparison. He won big.
THATS ALOTTA NUTS
He should regret unleashing the blight that is star wars on the world.
You don't get a frog wattle by not being a greedy sell-out.
This guy has all the artistic integrity of a lazy white American.
Yeah I’m sure he’s wiping away the tears with $100 dollar bills.
>Yeah I’m sure he’s wiping away the tears with $100 dollar bills.
This guy gets it.
Lucas is first of all a businessman and Disney overpayed for Star Wars. It was obvious even back in 2012.
>Lucas is first of all a businessman and Disney overpayed for Star Wars. It was obvious even back in 2012.
Disney are fricking idiots. They bought the IP when they didn't have even half the talent required to do them justice.
It'd be like modern day Nintendo buying the rights to Mario and Zelda.
well it wasn't just star ward.
It was also Indiana Jones, Monkey Island, and Grim Fandango
Serious question, what the frick do you do with 4 billion?
Go to the Epstein Island every weekend and ask the "workers" to dress up as Ahsoka and Darth Talon and then frick them.
HOT
he put a soccer mom on a power trip in charge of star wars and it turned out as cringe as you would expect
I used to think George Lucas was a moron,
but then I watched THX 1138, which was hist first movie, but that movie looks like it was made by Kubrick. it's crazy but this guy is a genius.
Dont care about new star wars so whatever.
Watch American Graffiti too. Lucas was a genuinely talented director indeed.
ngl young george could get it
He sleeps on a bed of money that rests on a gold frame. He could have any women he wants. He will never have to work another day in his life. I'm sure he just feels terrible. lmao.
He didn’t say white slavers he said lightsabers. He sold his lightsabers, yea that’s the ticket
>I wonder if he regrets getting infinite money and doing nothing for the rest of his life
The infinite money he donated to charity the same week he sold it?
So you're saying that Lucas donated 4 billion fricking dollars to charity and he's been poor for 15 years now?
He donated half and then spent the other half on building a non profit museum that he gifted ownership of to the city of LA. But yes he still has the many billions he made before the Disney sale and any other money he has made in his career.
He spent 2 billion dollars for a museum? Are you like 10 years old?
You can google it yourself yeah. He spent a billion dollars on the museum including the fact that the land was extremely prime real estate and cost 400 million in total. Then there was cost over runs on top of the billion. Most likely not doubling the cost but we don’t know yet. The museum is not finished yet. This was started in 2018.
It's almost ready.
>prime real estate
Maybe? It was mostly parking lot for the Coliseum before, though maybe USC would have preferred it become more student housing instead. Being a museum fits in with the other half dozen museums of Exposition Park, at least, unlike the weird charter school.
He's old as frick. He just wants to get BJs from his Black person wife and do other retired boomer shit.
The point of creating a franchise is to sell it for millions and then don't work the rest of your life.
Why do you think people spend so much energy and time creating entertaiment? For art?
Lol
Frick him. He got over 4 billion dollars out of it and he knew who he was selling it to. If he really cared about the franchise he would have just appointed someone he trusted to Lucasfilm, not sold it, got money from what they made and could have stepped in if shit was going where he didn't like it since he still maintained the rights. After his death it's up for debate on how it would go and who would lead and how they'd do but if Lucas had kept control Star Wars could have stayed Disney free for a few more decades at least. Maybe we'd get kino, maybe not but I can sure as frick say we didn't and probably never will with mouse wars.
In short frick Lucas. He had a better option but chose the quick money, which also frick him it's not like he didn't already have many millions from owning one of the biggest entertainment franchises ever for like 35 fricking years.
Eiger bragged in his memoir about reneging on verbal agreements to develop his sequel treatments so late in contract negotiations George just caved in anyways; it's his own damn fault for not holding him to his word. Now look at this mess.
Exactly, he caved in. I've read shit about them pressuring Lucas to sell Star Wars for years or something and I'm not a billionaire Hollywood director with companies to manage but I figure if I were in Lucas' shoes I would have just told Bob Iger and Disney to like, you know, frick off and shut the frick up and leave me alone.
Lucas had good reason to sell. People overstate the pressure, I think. Lucas is a notorious bullshit artist but I think the reasons he's given for selling are correct.
>40 year old losers actually care about another guy selling his property which was just pew pew space movies made to sell toys
you're supposed to grow up eventually, you know that right OP?
>charity
>new wife and kids to raise
>burden of command
Did it to keep his people employed, couldn't have foreseen being backstabbed by Kathleen or Spielberg's boy Abrams incahoots with her. Then again George's a typical covert narcissist nice guy Boomer, just the type to get blindsided like that. Power Rangers got bought back for a fraction of what it sold for to the creator, Star Wars will be in similar shape in not too long unless they start licensing Legends content outside the company/-ies
best possible outcome same with Marvel
The fact that his creation still has such a hold over pop culture after it's been raped to death by the ~~*white*~~ slavers he sold it to speaks volumes.
The true American Tolkien.
>get hounded by nerds for over a decade because of prequels
>lose desire to continue
>sell it for more money than I can spend in my lifetime
Nah, I think he's ok.
He did the smart thing and got out. He had T-bonds, bearer bonds, real estate.
he's jelly of andor
Unrelated, but this guy really sold out the nog and the chink and got completely and definitively away with it?
Yes, that's what makes his character interesting. There's no last second change of heart, he isn't righteously punished for his actions, he told Finn and Rose exactly who he was from the beginning, and when he got the chance to get rich quick and escape with his life, he took it.
as this is the only SW thread
lightsabers:
How the frick are they not fumbling those switches and buttons accidentally in the heat of battle?!
How the frick are they never losing fingers when spinning these death traps?
How the frick can they fight with a weightless "blade" that has no balance, no inertia
and acts like a short range laser pointer?
Movie magic

so basically GL wants to wank off back to his film school days making shit only he wants to watch.
George is really old and looks frail and out of it lately. Sad to see it.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xLKrkltOex0
Damn. He's gonna bite it soon.
Also,
>black guard
Of course.
In retrospect, 4B for star wars seems kinda cheap
>brap
May the force be with you.
