ok, just so i'm sure, we are all agreed that he's trying to be funny, and not actually trying to fool anyone, right?

Is this interview actually credible? It looks made up to me.
yeah, i can't imagine lucas would actually come out and say that. maybe he would, i don't know. i don't really like star wars especially, because i've read dune, but i'd be surprised if he'd say that.
he usually comes across as relatively gracious. i mean, he has a bajillion dollars and a perceived stranglehold on the "scifi" genre.
whatever. if he did actually say that, f

It's ludicrous, and frankly somewhat disturbing, that around half the posters in this topic seem to be at least considering the possibility that this is for real. Do you think so little of George Lucas?? No matter what you may think of him personally, no one in his position would be stupid enough to badmouth another sci-fi movie like that.
Also, as several people have pointed out, the entire website is clearly a joke.

Three minutes of reading various questions and answers left no doubt in mind that the interview is a fake piece of go-se.
"The best thing about Star Wars is that it doesn’t look like regular science fiction. The uniforms worn by Kirk and Picard in Star Trek look horrendous. The futuristic look you talk about is not the way to go. I want Star Wars to always remain timeless and classic. The designs have to be organic and not machine like. I think you don‘t understand what Star Wars is all about. I think we should leave this all up to SuperShadow. He has his finger on the pulse of Star Wars and he always makes the right decisions."
The ridiculousness of the whole thing is hi-larious.

I have been a big fan of Star Wars since I was a child but, Lucas' coments strike me as petty jealousy. When you look at why the early movies are better than the later ones and why we love Joss' work, it is the characters and dialogue.
Lucas has created (sometimes borrowed) a great world to tell his giant saga. Firefly is all about the characters and dialogue, something Lucas seems to have steadily forgotten how to do well as his career has gone on.

it's not go-se, it's gorram brilliant. I hurt my face laughing so hard. let's give SuperShadow his due, he's a funny bastard.

If it were just this, I'd be inclined to agree. But, it seems as if he's been up to deceivin' Star Wars fans for years, claimin' all kinds of things that, if believed by someone, would end up disappointing that person when those things were proven untrue.
There are some funny moments on there though.

Personally, I don't think he's trying to be funny in the slightest. I think he gets off a little bit on naive folks who wander onto his site and think he really is some high-ranking insider in the Lucasian Empire.
'Course, that's just one man's opinion.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, Fox!
