Access Hollywood tracked down George Lucas at the Governor’s Awards this weekend. They didn’t get much out of him, but overall? “I don’t really have much to do,” he said. (Snarkily?)
When asked about Steven Spielberg – who’s already taken himself out of the running for director – Lucas said “I’m pretty sure he’d never want to do that!”
Of course, the fourth video from the conversation with Kathleen Kennedy is due this week… So who knows?
I think GL may truly want to be retired and focus on his philanthropy. After selling the property, it would surprise me if he remained heavily involved.
