Lucas knows better than to alienate Hollywood powers with such comments. Hollywood is politics, my friends, and you play the game or you find yourself in Spain or France making indie films on no budget.

The site, though, overall, is pretty darn hilarious!

And look! It gets more people saying "What is "Firefly"?" And we LIKE that!

Hmmm, I'm sure this has been brought up. But judging from the responses, and the fact that GL doesn't give a whole lot of interviews. I sincerely doubt this is GL. Probably some hack SW fanboy who thinks that Haden Christiansen can act.

Yep. It's a bunch of crap.
I'm surprised Lucas' lawyers haven't sued this fellow yet.

I don't know if anyone will remember this but on one of the DVD commentaries for Buffy, (I believe it's on the 6th season episode "Bargaining"...a comment by Marti Noxon) they actually talk about George Lucas coming to the set with his daughter because she was such a big fan. He even asked some of the cast to come to Australia and visit him on set.

That doesn't sound like somebody who would then turn around and rip on everything that Joss has created. In other words, I believe the interview is a fake.

This is obviously drivel. It seems to me that in the land of Hollywood--most everyone seems to go out of their way to sucker up or put on a kinda show for everyone else. Meaning that if a particular director doesn't like something another puts out--I doubt you'd hear anything from first said director about it. If they like what the other has created--they'll go on and on about it. The consensus being that you never really know who may be on top of the game next--so don't cut your throat or burn your bridge. 'Everybody play nice'. Of course there are exeptions to this rule--those who seem to rattle the fences a bit--like our Joss. However, even Joss doesn't seem to strike out with too much venom--with him it's more implied and wrapped up in humor. I've seen interviews with Lucas as well--and he is much more professional in approach than the 'bozo' on this site.

Ok so we all know it is fake, but how do you think GL really feels about Firefly? It is obvious Joss loves Star Wars when he talks about the Millenium Falcon. GL may have lost his touch as a director, but he still has a s*** ton of money and a nice ranch that he could lend to a series if he wants. Ok not going to happen but we can dream right?

yeah it has gotta be a total fake.. and I doubt GL feels ANYTHING bad toward Whedon or any other genuine film makers.. he just doesn't seem the type- especially since he is a Hollywood Maverick himself.

I think Lucas is probably a really decent guy and he probably liked Serenity if he saw it... he probably also wishes he got Whedon to do the script.. but that's another story!

I agree, we know it is a fake. In regards to people being down on 1,2,3 it is becuase it lacked the chemistry between the characters that 4,5 and had, which is actually one of the things I love so much about Firefly/Serenity.

I completely agree, this interview is bull crap.

Oh, and episodes 1,2, and three 3 were just not as good as 4,5,and 6. The latter had the most interesting characters and a wonderful story to boot. 1,2,and 3 were just oversaturated with special effects and such that just took away from the story and characters.

That's why I believe Serenity is such a better movie than the recent Star Wars films. Because it was made on a lower budget, the special effects weren't used as much, which didn't detract from the characters or the story line. It's kind of ironic actually. A super special effects driven movie who's story is not so great does exceptionally well at the box office. On the other hand, the movie that is done well and has a more compelling story and group of characters does not do as well as the other movie.

Sometimes, I wish people would open their eyes and take a look at what their watching. Not everything is how it appears.
