the crimes of george lucas ('90s on)

Two words: Ewok Centipede

It remains to be seen whether or not the future residents of this low-income housing development will be appreciative when Lucas shows up every couple of years to do extensive renovations.

He's not actually going to build most of the structure of these houses - they'll be mostly CGI.

As long as there will be CGI beasties tromping around and occasionally farting or taking a dump on the floor, I'm sold.

I so wanted to find a utility data reference in that article

I will certainly be hugely disappointed if this low-income housing isn't star wars themed in one way or another

He'll build awesome housing and then every 3 years will remove part of it and replace it with cgi renovations to 'enhance the living experience'

Way to Lucas my comment, there, VG.

He'll build awesome housing and then every 3 years will remove part of it and replace it with cgi renovations to 'enhance the living experience' NOW IN 3D!!!

And then the kitchen you've taken semi-seriously for 30 years will start dancing around like a goofball.

no, you can't have your old driveway back. this one is better.

xxpost lol sorry Deric, I didn't scroll up to see new comments. I just assumed that I was otm with the funniest zing ;)

i always envisioned it vertical like this, but we didn't have the technology when we built your house

xpost

It's okay! My post was all analogue effects and the wrong person shooting first and all that. It needed an upgrade.

can't wait for redlettermedia guy to tell low income folks their foundations have rotted and their attics are full of asbestos and the water heater has a leak and and and

Apartment IV: A New Home

;_; DERIC YOU JERK I AM NOT GEORGE LUCAS YOU TAKE THAT BACK

"luuucas! luuucas!" should become a playground taunt

it probably was a playground taunt when that corehy haim movie lucas came out?
i read somewhere that the corey haim movie lucas was about george lucas but that sounds wrong?

i dunno, was the corey haim movie about a smelly child with booger mittens?

I'm sorry, VG, that is about the meanest insinuation ever. I take it back. You have the utmost respect for the wishes of your fans and I've seen no indication whatsoever that you have an inflatable neck sac.

(hug) thank you thank you oh thank you

heeyyyy wait a minute

re: booger mittens -- well, it had corey haim in it. actually the "lucas" chant in the end was more idolatry than taunting

I wonder if George knows his sister is an actress?

holy crap @ denuded lucasface

i have a good story about a friend-of-a-friend dating geo. lucas. should i share it?

YES

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Absolutely. Is your friend-of-a-friend Linda Ronstadt?

no. i actually don't know if i'll remember all the story. i might leave out some of the better parts.

anyway my friend has a friend (who at the time would have been in her late 40s or early 50s... probably a bit younger than lucas was at the time). somehow through some charity ball or what have you she met george lucas, who took a fancy to her. so they set up a date.

lucas has a limo sent to her house in L.A. to pick her up. the limo drives her to a private airport. she is asked to board a small plane. the plane flies (several hours i assume) to skywalker ranch. there she is let off at lucas's private tarmac, where another picks her up and drives her to the main house, where lucas stands waiting on the patio. lucas gives her a tour of the house, and then they have dinner on the patio cooked by either lucas's private chef or a chef hired for the occasion. multi-course meal. they talk some more. they say goodnight, lucas walks her back to the tarmac, plane flies her back to private airport in LA, limo drives her back home. end of story.

i imagined the chef was guy fieri or jar jar binks or some combination.

i left out the pod-racing part.

i thought that said he was waiting for her standing on the piano

o captain my captain

was there any exchanging of midiclorians

"I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything's soft... and smooth..." (He touches her arm.)

Man, I should start employing biome-themed pickup lines. Thx Anakin.

It's cold out here. Climb into my Taun Taun.

^ of love

No, I meant it literally.

"Climb into my dead alien mammal's intestines, baby."

Some biizarre fanfic niche could come out of this:

"Now this is pod racing!" shouted George, where by 'pods' Lucas meant his testicles.

would you like to see my pink lightsaber?

I'll try not to shoot first.

you came in that thing etc
