The filmmaker says he "misspoke" in an interview with Charlie Rose.
Star Wars creator George Lucas apologized on Thursday for comments he made during a recent interview with Charlie Rose in which he referred to the Walt Disney Company as "white slavers."
Lucas made the comment while talking about the Star Wars franchise, which he created and breathed life into many decades ago, but ultimately sold to Disney in 2012 for $4 billion dollars.
While talking to Rose about how much he loved the films he created and four of which he directed — even calling them his "kids" — Lucas said he "sold them to the white slavers that take these things, and ... " Lucas did not finish his thought, but rather laughed before Rose moved on to another question.
Lucas has since "clarified" that remark.
"I misspoke and used a very inappropriate analogy and for that I apologize," the 71-year-old filmmaker said in a statement. "I have been working with Disney for 40 years and chose them as the custodians of Star Wars because of my great respect for the company and Bob Iger’s leadership."
>minecraft 2.5 billion dollars
>all of lucasarts 4 billion dollars
did george get scammed?
There's no doubt left that Disney threatened and took him over. I mean ILM alone probably worth few billions.

Star Wars is projected to generate 5 billion dollars in merchandise alone before the end of next year.
But aren't they? they're all rich white dudes who hire minorities for their roles. Which they pay a pittance for.

Jews aren't white.
>you guys aren't slavers
>you're just janitors to my creation
Well ok

The Rat takes on the Icon, and the Icon apologizes with his fingers crossed. Piss on the Rat and all its interest.

What the fuck is this, a prophecy?
>>64320939
nah half was "cash" and half in stocks.
Disney stocks in 2012 was around $50 and today it is at about $100 per share and probably going up,
The dude already doubled his 2B.
>>64320825
The Jew was certainly offended by his characterization of them as "white slavers", mostly because of how accurate it is

it was a joke in the interview, and it as taken out of context for clickbait articles. of course he apologized. nothing to see here
>>64320939
>all of lucasarts AND total ownership over SW and merchandising rights AND ownership over Indiana Jones AND THX sound system patents for 4 billion dollars
Disney ripped him off. He shouldn't be apologizing.
George Lucas made a terrible mistaken by selling his company and all of its franchises to Disney. What did he expect? That they would site and smile at owning Star Wars? They would fucking milk the shit out of it until every billion shekels are released.

>OV VEY GEORGE JUST MADE US EXPERIENCE 50 SHOAHS
George said that to explain what it feels like to give away your creation to someone who has a different vision than you and profits off of it. But anybody could have done that, he chose Disney to take Star Wars because he respects them. He didn't mean his comments to be
>"FUCK YOU DISNEY"
He was just distraught over giving up on Star Wars. That doesn't mean he doesn't think Disney did a good job. But then you guys and Reddit took his comment and blew it out of proportion.
Now you guys are going to say he's a backpedaling cuck being manipulated by the Jews.
>>64320825
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE PREQUELS, GEORGE?
>>64321910
Sequel already confirmed, guy
>>64322894
Who is going to be Indy, buddy?
>>64322217
>"FUCK YOU DISNEY"
I really took it more of a 'fuck you' towards the audience, that just wants more of the same and doesn't respect when someone tries to do something different. It really is only in hindsight that the prequel trilogy is as good as it is now, we all know not even a year ago the Plinkett reviews were held in high regard. It wasn't until you sat through TFA you realized you'd another hundred prequel trilogies before any more Star Wars castrated to keep Disney investors and redditor normalfags happy.
>>64320825
WAS HE FORCED TO APOLOGIZE? WHEN HE SAID IT, IT'S CLEAR HE KNEW HE SAID SOMETHING STUPID, WHICH IS WHY HE STOPPED, LAUGHED, AND TRIED TO MOVE ON.
ALSO, THIS IS A CLICKBAIT TOPIC, NOT A TV/MOVIE TOPIC. TAKE IT TO TWITTER OR YOUR TUMBLR WHERE IT BELONGS.
>>64322259
Hey dickface, when are you going to apologize for breathing the same air as me?
>>64322978
Probably Chris Pratt. But in the end it doesn't matter who they choose because the movie will ultimately be a shallow cash grab like ep 7
>>64323069
I apologize for nothing assmouth.

Harrison Ford
>Le Fuck You Disney Joos George is the best XD
Do you dumb cucks get that Jorge called them "White Slavers" because he's such a warped SJW at this point that he feels more akin to blacks.
Disney is literally the lesser of two evil at this point and I'm happy they're making Star Wars instead of George who threw in hamfisted attacks on George W Bush in Episode 3. Fuck that toad.

damn son you edgier than /pol/
>>64323269
If he outright said JEWS he'd be found dead in Skywalker ranch by 'suicide' with gunshots to the back of his head.
It may be ok for joe nobody on /pol/ to put the jews on blast but if someone as culturally important as Lucas did he'd be a dead man walking.

>Disney is literally the lesser of two evil
You idiot, di$ney never made and will never make a decent movie, they will never take chances in creativity and they are afraid of being polemic, they will always play it safe, that means that their movies aren't really movies like fox or sony who make shit movies but make real movies, di$ney does not make movies, you can't call them that, they make videos with themes, just like youtubers but with a huge budget, di$ney is shit.
