This excerpt is classic:
In 2006, LucasArts teamed with Day 1 Studios to bring a new intellectual property to market. The vision for this new title was a first-person shooter that allowed the player to shape a battlefield's terrain by use various science-fiction weapons. The ambitious design became Fracture, a game that was announced on May 3, 2007. The plan [for Fracture] was turned completely upside down in a meeting," a LucasArts dev who worked on the title says. Although the team was far into development, a decision was made by LucasArts executives to turn it into a third-person shooter. "We were told to 'pull the camera out.' We had to make a character model, create animations, plot the levels differently. It was a nightmare for everyone involved." When Fracture was revealed to the public, the protagonist was a character named Mason Briggs. By the time the game launched, his name was changed to Jet Brody. A person who helped give this gun-toting rebel his original name recalls going through weeks of naming conventions. "Literally, whole teams sitting together, brainstorming what looks good - the first name, the last name, etc. Done, good to go." But then a phantom menace struck. George Lucas would periodically check in on the status of the games his company was making, lending creative input and advice. The developer I talked to sighs, and agitatedly says, "In one viewing of Fracture, [Lucas] said it look really good, but he didn't like [Mason Briggs'] name. We're like 'What do you mean, George?' He responded to the effect of, 'It doesn't really fit. When he jumps on stuff, he moves pretty fast. I like B.J. Dart.'" |

Lucas just couldn't get out of his own way.

From things I have read and heard, he didn't like the direction of Empire either. Probably the absolute best directed movie of the original trilogy.

BJ Dart sounds like a cross between George's love for Wolfenstein (B.J. Blazkowicz) and his first car (Dodge Dart) or something. I'm sure that's how his brain works.

Lucas' password for his various accounts is probably "password123".

MILLENIUM FALCON
http://www.starwarsunderworld.com/20...-revealed.html In the background, in the top left corner, The Empire Strikes Back appears to be playing on a TV screen, and towards the right there looks to be clip board with screenshots from several previous Star Wars films, including Attack Of The Clones and Return Of The Jedi, are posted. But towards the middle, just behind Rick Carter and Kathleen Kennedy, you can clearly see two pieces of concept art, which we're safe to assume is from Episode VII. The one on the left appears to feature the Millennium Falcon, and the one on the right is of some type of canyon. Here's a close up view: |

I would have laughed and after realizing he was serious, kept laughing and got up and quit. It doesn't take a genius to see that project was going up in flames.

We can't stress highly enough how much of a rumour this is, and while the source has been accurate in the past on other subjects there's plenty about this to raise eyebrows. We're unsure as to whether this refers to Episode VII or one of the incoming spin-off movies, but... Quote:
