Variety has done a profile on George Lucas, and TFN talks them into putting it online for free. Pretty cool.
George Lucas answers to no man. Indeed, his autonomy is unique in the history of the entertainment industry: Even Walt Disney had to cope with his skinflint brother Roy.
Lucas turns 61 in May, the same month “Revenge of the Sith,” the sixth and probably last “Star Wars” picture, makes its bow. But the visionary filmmaker has no clear plans to make any more films — at least none of the obviously commercial variety.
And while he has started up several self-sufficient companies — effects shop ILM, sound firm THX, etc. — it’s not clear that he will turn his focus to any of them. Instead, his peripatetic mind seems eager to blaze new frontiers.
Interesting article. Kudos to TFN for getting us a link. Bummer about the Indy plans.
