George Lucas: "Star Wars" creator engaged to Mellody Hobson
A spokeswoman for Lucasfilm Ltd. says the 68-year-old director is engaged to 43-year-old investment firm president Mellody Hobson. No other details were provided.
Hobson serves as chairman of DreamWorks Animation and is a financial contributor to ABC's "Good Morning America."
Lucas helped to launch the modern blockbuster age with his "Star Wars" sagas and "Indiana Jones" adventures. The original "Star Wars" still stands as the No. 2 film in terms of tickets sold domestically, behind only "Gone with the Wind."

Lucas has three children: Amanda, Katie and Jett. He was previously married to film editor Marcia Lucas from 1969 to 1983.
Disney completed its acquisition of Lucasfilm and the "Star Wars" franchise from Lucas for $4.06 billion in cash and stock last month.

But it's safe to say he looks like he's in la-la land... or maybe he's not photogenic.

Actual quote:
"People who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians" - George Lucas.
Funny how the article pimps up Lucas's modern film making but conveniently fails to make it, *cough*, "fair and balanced"... not that FOX Noise would either...
Need an example? (There are thousands.) OK... they changed the term "suicide bombers" to "Homicide bombers" because they didn't want to give any credence to the bomber. Yet, that IS a political view. Those bombers DO commit suicide. A homicide bomber does not give the full story. So, they edit it based on a perceived POLITICAL view. In other words... They are propagandists.
