Landmark ‘People Vs. George Lucas’ Case To Be Decided Next Year

By STV on February 14, 2009 at 3:40 AM

In a perfect world — one we’ve actively fantasised about for a while — there would be a cultural tribunal somewhere holding George Lucas accountable for crimes against fans and films alike.


That millennial milestone may be nearer than any of us thought: A documentary called The People Vs. George Lucas issued a teaser late Tuesday, foreshadowing the promise of a unified front against Lucas as well as a preview of the complex defence he may mount. He may not have a chance against evidence this damning, however, from Jar-Jar Binks to expert testimony (”If you wanna fix something, fix Howard the Duck“) and other corroborating witnesses from fanboy culture. Assuming the precedent of $US4 billion class action lawsuits stands, expect ambitious lawyers to circle the doc as a potential gold mine upon its release next year. Just as long as we get our share of the settlement, we’re in.
