At the Daytime Emmys the other day, George Lucas told Access Hollywood that he hasn’t spoken to J.J. Abrams about Episode VII yet.
I have not spoken to J.J. He’s been busy with Star Trek, and I’m sure that he’ll let me know when he’s got some questions. So, you know, that’s all going well. Kathy tells me it’s working out great.
He does seem mostly relieved about it, but I’m sure there will be some sort of discussion as production ramps up. (via)
Sounded like he was willing and ready to talk to “JJ” but that Mr. Abrams had not contacted him. Hopefully he will.
“No need to report that to him, until we have something to report.”
Lucas really can’t consult on anything until there is something to consult on.
I found this screenshot really funny in that it shows how the same story is being reported from two different angles:
