Lucas' turkey neck hides all of his millions.

im speechless

of corse he is
that would make mcaine a sith
...
i want a lightsaber duel instead a debate
that would be awesome

i like how he doesn't have any legal documents with him, just star wars memorabilia

Lucas > all of us.

That is the saddest and funniest thing I have seen since Indiana Jones 4.

i seen this headline somewhere and though this was a joke.

LMFAO

funny shit but I like how no one on the subcommittee could make a decent witty remark.


Instead they made jokes that are on par with a 3rd grade recess word fight

Lucas should do as most of his most loyal followers do... and NEVER EVER leave the house.

ROFL this is so hilarious

This all seems like a big joke. The commitee are not even taking it serious.

Count Dooku was a Jedi too.

A third internet? How did I miss part 2? Did anyone else get the email?

Our tax dollars at work! Way to go Congressmen (and women)...its nice you have the time to crack SW jokes instead of trying to look at ways to lower gas prices. Were these guys up all night thinking up witty remarks?

Useless Congress Subcommittes = fail.

I feel bad for Lucas and embarrassed by the committee. I can't even describe right now how painful it is to know how our wonderful political system doesn't take itself or the country's citizens seriously. Just because George Lucas is George Lucas, doesn't mean you mock him during an actual committee hearing.

George Lucas himself is confused on what a Jedi is. They originally defended truth and justice in the galaxy, but in Episode III, the old, senile, leftie George said that to believe in absolutes absolutely was the essence of the Dark Side... and had Obi-Wan saying it. Last time I checked, "truth" and "justice" have the feature of falling into the category of right and wrong... absolutely.

George Lucas calling Obama a Jedi is like Benedict Arnold calling someone a patriot.

@ igroveman

I don't really want to get into a Star Wars convo here.. But about that "only sith deal in absolutes remark" was talking about the quote "if you're not with me, then you're my enemy." There aren't fine lines between good and evil. If someone messes up, Jedi don't automatically kill them for being EVIL. That's my two cents.

@igroveman, the old, senile candidate in the presidential race is named McCain. The leftie is named Obama.

And as far as the whole IJ4 Fridge thing, where are all the complaints about TOD when a guy lives through his heart getting yanked? Or TOD when a mine car jumps 50 feet and lands back on the rails? Or in TLC when an airplane passes a car in a tunnel? Or an inexperienced pilot crash lands a plane with no tail? Or in Raiders when lightning shoots out of a box and melts everyone's face off unless they keep their eyes shut? Or in TLC when the strap to Indy's satchel miraculously comes un-stuck from the tank's cannon? Or in TLC when the speedboat in Venice explodes, loses its sides, and comes flying out from between two nearly-immobile ships? Or in TOD when Indy falls out of a plane with a boat, a chick and an asian child and all winds up jim-dandy? Or...

The Monkeys and many other parts of IJ4 ranged from sorta kinda sucky to totally balls out shiite. But, singling out the fridge bit as some lone incident where suspension of disbelief would not suffice is just bandwagoning with the first person that coined the somewhat funny and totally pop-driven phrase 'nuked the fridge'. Sort of like Monkey Brains -- tempting, but not tasteful.

Congressional subcommities are a false front western town anyway.
Just like our government.

The gas prob is all being manipulated by powers high above congress, so it dosnt really matter that we pay them to kick back all day and make up bs laws. They don't have the authority anyway to make any real difference .....

Boy that photo sure looks like its been doctored.... Hmm.

@Matthew: "wonderful political system"
You're joking, right?
Besides the hilarity of the situation I don't remember seeing the section in our Constitution that provides the people with the right to internet access. Why can't these big political active groups find a way to something in the market without handouts from the govt or slapping us with more taxes? Grr

I too am baffled at the so called "Second Internet." Who needs a third when this second internet is obviously an untapped resource. Perhaps I need the Third "educational" internet to let me understand the first and second. Hmm? If only there was someone who could create a prequel to the internets to help me understand. Someone with the know-how, and the elbow grease, to lead us to a new land. Someone with a slow and basic written skill to spell out how this all works.

Help us Obama Kenobi, you're our only Hope!

The third educational internet is all about explaining how things went down in history according to a delusionally, insanse bullfrog. For example did you know that Lincoln was really an inter-dimensional being who got his powers from tiny cells, and that Booth didn't shoot first. They don't explain that on the first internet. By the way the second internet for those of you that don't know, is a serious of tubes.

Ya know Cap your first post is kinda harsh, I love ya but gheesh Bro he did give us Star Wars. ;-)

Diel
If your gonna explain hyper dimensional physics get it right, its Nano-Tubes.
I swear if I had a dime for everytime I've had to explain that,,,,,,,, lol

Lucas likes to do things out of order. Of course, he wants the 3rd internet. This way he can cash in on the 2nd internet prequel.

@Matt

Sarcasm.

The man acts as a guest on an important issue for this subcommittee and they once again try to turn it into a partisan issue. I have no clue which side asked the question about Bush but they should be ashamed.

@Matthew
Thanks for the clarification. :)

i still respect george lucas. luckily i wasnt ever into the indiana pwnes movies so i didnt bother to go see indy4. I think the classic star wars is still the best. it was hard to wrap my mind around the prequels, seeing as how the technology in those movies seemed to be more advanced. this subcommittee was just getting a bit excited that george was there, but they should be more professional about it.

Hard to see the dark side is.

The second internet they are referring to is the one which exists strictly for governmental use (I believe primarily the Dept. of Defense...not sure how much access other departments have).

Could you imagine if the government did everything over the "regular" internet? Hackers might actually be able to do the stuff we see them doing to government databases in the movies.

Bush-Sith Lord, Chaney-Darth Vader, George Lucas-Jedi, Obama-Jedi Luke Skywalker, real world politics corrupt as Star Wars politics also those pictures look fake

this whole thing is selly george lucas can create is own internet world and there will be

"Bush-Sith Lord, Chaney-Darth Vader, George Lucas-Jedi, Obama-Jedi Luke Skywalker, real world politics corrupt as Star Wars politics also those pictures look fake"

The problem I have with that is the fact that for all we know, Obama won't do anything he says he will. Presidents have done that before. And Bush isn't as bad as everyone likes to say he is. He's just the person everyone loves to dump all of America's problems on because they hear everyone else do it. For all we know, Obama could be Anakin Skywalker and could turn to the Dark Side just as he gets inaugurated.. What most people don't understand or realize is that ever since we've sent troops over into the Middle East, there have been no successful terrorist attacks on the United States, because they know we're not going to cower at home while they bomb us into Oblivion, and we're actually going to defend freedom and our way of life like Bush. What the liberals want to do is "make peace with the terrorists", which is completely impossible because terrorists don't negotiate; their whole point is to kill Americans.

And if we sent all the troops back home instead of fight for freedom, all the terrorists would follow us back, and start attacking us again, because they know we're cowards.

Please get your facts straight, and don't hate Bush because everyone else does. If it weren't for him, and if we had a liberal in-office, we'd all have been bombed to nothing by now.

I hate it when people go around throwing insults at Bush, who in reality has done nothing wrong. Would you rather have Bill Clinton again? Or would you rather keep George W. Bush, who's kept the terrorists from completely obliterating our country.

Forgive my defense, but it is about time that anti-Bush people weren't the only people who stood-up for who and what they believe in.

Jack, your living in a dream world.

Jack, they not fighting for our freedom. Forcing democracy on the ME has nothing to do with our freedom and force is the antithesis of freedom. Stop your partisan talk and see matters for what they really are and not what someone tells you they are. Politicians screw us over equally and there's plenty of blame for most of those douches. Representation is a fallacy because you can't represent everyone as opinions and morals conflict.
Be pro liberty.

George Lucas is the best director ever, I think. I am a huge fan from Star Wars and, on the second place, Indiana Jones. George Lucas has us seen that he makes allways great movies, and that he has allways succes. So I think he is the best director ever! And by the way: Star Wars is forever, it's far from over. Star Wars and George Lucas forever!

^ this guy's a fucking zealot

is that Jabba the Hutt falling asleep behind him?
