No matter what you think of the last 2 installments of the Star Wars saga (personally, I enjoyed them… even if they sucked), you’ve gotta give it up to George Lucas.
From The Godfather, Indiana Jones, the Star Wars Saga, ILM, Skywalker Sound, Lucas Arts, Digital Projection, THX… this man’s involvement and contribution to the film industry from an artistic and technical level are simply second to none in the history of the business.
Now, according to MSNBC, Lucas is about to be presented with yet another honour:
Career-achievement prizes? Maybe for your ordinary, down-to-earth directors, not your interstellar filmmaking overlords. “Star Wars” creator George Lucas is receiving a “galactic-achievement award” next week at ShoWest, an annual convention of theater owners in Las Vegas.
“This unique award celebrates the enduring popularity of the ‘Star Wars’ movies and the enormous impact and influence they have had on audiences and popular culture,” Mitch Neuhauser, co-manager of ShoWest, said Tuesday.
Oh please let Revenge of the Sith be good! Please please please.
