    Thank you for donating the profits from the Disney sale to your educational foundation. What is your ideal vision for public education in America?

    I would hope he liked it seeing as he sunk over a 100 million of his own dollars into it.

    He's described himself in the past as a "Buddhist Methodist." He's also said that he's come to the conclusion that "all religions are true." In that Charlie Rose interview from 2015 he stated that he believes there's something else out there though he doesn't know what, but that he believes most religions aren't really based on that so much as they're constructions used to fill "human psychological needs." So based on all that I would conclude that Lucas is actually somewhat of an agnostic, but one who believes that organized religions contain certain truths inasmuch as they reveal things about the nature of humanity's collective unconscious.

    Also probably something about aliens. ;)

    I'd like Lucas to just email me his complete outline for the Sequel Trilogy that he sold to Disney.

    Thanks. He and I are basically in agreement, then!

    Is there anything you regret regarding Star Wars?

    Where the heck were all your great buddies from the movie industry when you sat down to write the PT???

    Did you use some kind of reversed psychology on everyone, including your producer McCallum, to make them think you badly did NOT need their help in crafting the story and finally the script???

    What actually went down in the duel the between Mace Windu and Darth Sidious? Did Mace really almost win? And what happened to Sidious's face?

    He already provided an answer to those questions, both in the script and other BTS material.

    Nice. I still want to ask him. You'll learn things in a conversation that can't be contained in a script of BTS book.

    Wnat would be mostly on my mind would be why he didn't remain onboard LF even after it was sold to Disney? But that'd be crificism wrapped up as a question...

    I suppose I'd ask what his original plan was for the midichlorides and whether he planned to reveil them to be linked to Shmi's immaculate conception... (and possibly a plan designed by Plagueis - or his pupil..)

    He answered that question by saying that people at LFL didn't want to use any of his ideas, so he left.

    I would hope that his answer would be, at least in part, that it was less reliant on the charity of billionaires.

    While I don't disagree with the sentiment, I find it disheartening that the undertone of this post is almost certainly one of bizarre condemnation of Lucas for literally giving billions of dollars to charity.

    Okay, so you fully support and praise him for his contributions. I sincerely apologize for misinterpreting you.

    Would you be willing to direct and write a qui.gon movie? Or any anthology?

    His answer would probably be no considering the climate around the fanbase atm.

    I suspect that same, but if that climate is the main factor maybe the future would hold a more favorable environment.

    I guarantee you that George Lucas is not going to make any movie for which he has to answer to a corporation like Disney creatively. It doesn't matter what the climate is.

    i largely agree. While I don't understand a lot of George's creative choices and I think he is someone who can benefit from some creative oversight, I have tremendous respect for his persistence in retaining his creative control.

    I know this is an old message and I don't know if it got answered somewhere else, but it came from a cross between "Dark" and "Death". I think George Lucas says that in The Making Of Star Wars book. (which is really interesting)

    I would probably ask him if we could get together or something because I have way too many questions to ask at one time ;)

    What is your name? What is your quest? What was the most ridiculous, most annoying, nerdiest question some overzealous fan ever asked you?

    Which of the movies you were involved with would you say is the best?
