Lucas is a liar he doesn’t wanna pay the Cranes creator restitution :P. Just like Obi Wan met Anakin as a young rebel star fighter :P.

Boo. What a terrible myth bust - us Bay Area natives have very little to cling to when it comes to Hollywood-type glamour. Couldn’t you just give us the AT-AT’s George? Couldn’t you??

Looks more like the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park. Better make a new t-shirt and get Spielberg on the phone.
Who the hell came up with this myth its absolutely ridiculous.

yea… looked like a garbage truck… but then what inspired them to go from garbage truck to something that looks like the crane? I kinda consider this one even less busted now

If the hoverboard isn’t real, then what is that contraption in your living room that you use to get from place to place. Hey, we don’t blame you with these gas prices, hovering is just the more economic choice.
