George Lucas Hails Maverick Filmmakers, Teases Indy 4 | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 9/18/2007
George Lucas is feeling good about television. In his life post-Star Wars franchise, the legendary writer, director, producer, special-effects czar and mega-mogul is still embracing his legacy ? the far-far-away galaxy he created for six films that changed the cinematic universe and became a part of world pop culture.

Offering a spec script to Martin Scorsese, directing Steven Spielberg on how to take her photo with Clint Eastwood, asking the megastars in the front row to lift their legs as she vacuumed the Kodak past midnight (ET), while informing us that Helen Mirren had just asked for a rum and coke (sounded pretty good to me at the time), Ellen did her darndest to deflate the bloat... read more
