George Lucas Answered my Question!

I just have to quote a few responses from George Lucas aka SuperShadow.

 

On whether there are Wookie Jedi:

Yes, there are Wookiee Jedi. We just never get to see them in the films. I have asked Shadow to give Wookiee Jedi at least a cameo role in the sequel trilogy.

Replying to a question about why the empire didn't just destroy the planet Yavin IV was in orbit:

George Lucas: Well, I guess you are pointing out one of the fundamental errors many fans believe they have found involving A New Hope. However, I can give a perfect explanation of why the Empire did not destroy the big planet that was in front of the little sphere where the rebel base was hidden.

 

You see the big planet was a gas giant. The death star super laser could not be used to destroy gas giants. The death star super laser only works to destroy solid planets like Alderaan. So in short, the Empire had to wait until they cleared the gas giant to target the rebel base. I forgive you for making such an egregious misconception about the films.

Several questions about dating supermodels and submitting star wars storyline:

George Lucas: You have an insightful group of questions. I will answer each one in turn. Yes, it’s true that I date beautiful women who happen to be professional models. Most models are women of great substance who can carry on conversations about any topic imaginable. I have found that it is better to date women who have their own money. That way you know that a woman wants you for yourself and not because you happen to have billions of dollars. I know most of you don’t have this problem because you’re all dirt poor, but for me it’s a major obstacle in my personal relationships.

 

We don’t accept unsolicited Star Wars stories. We approach professional writers and ask them to author their own original Star Wars story ideas. We don’t hire amateurs like yourself. There is no way for a fan to get their ideas published by Lucasfilm. The closest you will ever come to this is for me to use one of your ideas submitted at SuperShadow.com. Of course, I do not compensate fans for the ideas I borrow from them from SS.com.

 

Some fans have a hard time understanding that good eventually triumphs over evil. You need to accept the fact that the light side of the Force defeats the dark side for all time at the end of Episode 9. I’m not going to explain endlessly why this must happen. It’s just a fact of life that evil loses the big game.

 

I don’t like fan fiction written about Star Wars. This may cost me money because some people may read fan fiction instead of buying official stories licensed for Star Wars. I would prefer if you would all refrain from writing stories based on Star Wars.

Asking what happens to Jar Jar:

George Lucas: Have no fear nothing bad ever happens to the legendary Gungan. Jar Jar goes on to have a very, very long life on Naboo after Revenge of the Sith. Jar Jar sires and raises 23 children and many dozens of grandchildren. Jar Jar will be one of the few prequel characters who live long enough to be alive by the time of Episode 7.

About TPM being the "most popular" SW movie:

George Lucas: I believe most fans are in agreement with you when you say that The Phantom Menace is your favorite Star Wars film. The Phantom Menace made more money than any other Star Wars film so this proves it is the most popular amongst real fans. There are a few misguided individuals who cling to the delusion that The Empire Strikes Back is the best of the lot, but in time all will come to appreciate the genius of The Phantom Menace.

On how the fan is at a loss for words:

I can understand how you are at a loss for words. I can be very intimidating. I wish I could meet myself. It would be an awe-inspiring situation.

 

Thoughts? I think this guy is getting crazier by the day. :whacked:

 

EDIT: I found another funny one.

On why Obi-Wan and Anakin don't sweat on Mustafar:

George Lucas: The reason you don’t see sweat on Obi-Wan and Anakin is because the planet is so hot that the sweat is immediately dissipated away. The intense heat keeps them entirely dry. Too hot for them to sweat. There is no error. No errors of any kind.

Ha that's awesome, I joke about this hoaxer all the time, but I didn't realize one of our own had been published on SS's own looney bin! And been answered by the illustrious "George Lucas" himself! Kudos Moeller (and REDJOHNNYMIKE), that's comedy gold. ;)

 

And yes, I know this is a revival, but it is worth revisiting (plus I just now noticed it)!

 

And if you'll pardon my gushing I also just noticed this. Heh. Good times...

I haven't checked out his "exclusive interviews" for a long time now! Here's one I found humorous, note the misspellings:

 

Q: I was looking at the most powerful Sith of all time and Darth Zion from the Knights of the Old Republic 2 video game is not on there. What he did was cheat death just as Darth Plagueis did to those he cared about he was killed so to speak on a Sith cruiser, but his midichlorians gave him life, not only that, but he took the same amount of damage as Anakin did when he caught fire on Mustafar only Zion did not need the breath suit and was just as fast as he was before it happened.

My ranking of the top Sith is more art than hard science. There have been many fearsome Sith over the millennia. However, not every Sith can be at the very top. Zion may be formidable. He sounds like a tough character, who is extremely powerful. Unfortunately, his all around abilities are not high enough to get him a high ranking on the Sith list.
Heh, SS has probably not even played KotOR or TSL! :lol:

 

Here's another instant classic of him insulting his fans:

Q: How did Sidious get another light saber after Mace Windu kicked Sidious’ out of the window because I noticed that Sidious had another one when he fought Yoda?

What makes you think any Force user would have only one light saber? That makes absolutely no sense. Every Force user builds many light sabers so that they always have a few as back ups. I can’t believe somebody would think that a Force user would be so asinine as to only have one light saber.

:lol:

I just found this thread... I've never heard of that supershadow guy before, but he obviously has some major issues. What bugs me the most is why our modding community isn't allowed to port content from/to LucasArts games while this psycho is coming up with all kinds of crazy claims (knowing Lucas, etc.) and not being sued? Isn’t what he doing illegal, since everything starwars-ish is copyrighted by Lucas? You'd think that if Lucasarts wouldn't pay attention to a guy like that they could be a little more supportive of their modding community... Well that's my two cents.

Are you sure what he's doing isn't illegal? He claims to know George Lucas, and to have exclusive rights to make some none existant movies (well actually, since it's all bull and there won't be such movies you might be right). But still he is claiming to have credit in previously made starwars movies and a whole lot of other things. Well, I guess it doesn't matter either way, since we still won't be able to port game content.

yeah, if he ever did get taken to court, he'd just plead that its all a 'spoof' and get off free (hopefully with lawyer fees). hehe, if you ask me, that's all the site really is, a 'spoof'. this 'supershadow' character may not be bright enough to know that the joke's on him, though. :rolleyes:

Yeah, i guess your right stinger. Plus even tho he is impersonating Lucas on his site, no one would even bother with a guy like him anyway. If I din't have anything better to do I'd be sending that nutjob hate mail. But I don't really care that much. I say let him post whatever makes him sleep better at night. Well this sure was a different thread... didnt think there were people like that ... Peace out.

I had totally forgotten about this thread, and I was reading it from the beginning. I thought: Is this new? Then I saw my posts and was like, guess not... XD

 

Horses head... *laughs again*

 

Id laugh so hard if GL actually closed that site down on a really bad pms day he was having. :p

Well according to hearsay, some guy "confessed" to being part of it. Apparently it started as a prank between some dorm buddies (who include somebody named Mickey Suttle) or something who just wanted to make a fake star wars site and see how many people they could fool with outrageous stuff mixed with "true" rumors, and that it went on for years, then eventually one guy quit because he thought it had gone on long enough, etc. and he'd forgotten about it.

 

Of course anybody could say that, he had no evidence to back it up. The other prevailing theory is that it's Mickey Suttle by himself (that is the name under which the domain is registered) who lives in N. Carolina (at least somebody found a couple of pics of some guy by that name who lives in the state, also a yahoo profile that might have been faked) and used to work at some custom cabinet company as a computer guy, is in his 20's or early 30's and just has some kind of complex about George Lucas and Star Wars.

 

A third and crazier theory is that it's some kind of inside job (and that explains why it never goes away and Lucas never mentions it), a LucasFilm employee giving out misinformation, masquerading as a delusional fan. He started the site before TPM and there didn't seem any reason to keep it up, except now with the two TV shows coming up. Of course his "premium section" argues against this, and the fact that StarWars.com doesn't seem to be "in on the joke" since they forbid discussion of SuperShadow (or maybe that's just to prevent anyone finding out the truth!), and the way he badmouths the Expanded Universe would seem to be the perfect cover, but maybe bad for business (though alternately posing as George Lucas, whom he makes out to be a total egomaniac with bad manners, he tells people to buy as much Star Wars related merchandise as possible and see the movies multiple times in theaters)? Anyway the conspiracy angle is less believable I think. If it was a disgruntled former Lucas employee perhaps, but still, he's kept it going for like 8 years now!

 

So ongoing hoax prank or crazy obsessed fan, take your pick. About the only "harm" the guy ever did was for a short period to charge people for a "premium" section of his site that just had stuff he got from hyperspace. Otherwise he's just a perennial source of misinformation for gullible fans...

 

But back when the site started in like 1998, nobody could really prove him wrong...

 

About the revival, hopefully that didn't upset anyone, it's just that since he's such a perennial, it's as topical now as back then. Plus it's just plain hilarious!

 

Anyway, I figure as long as he's tricking people, the mockery must continue. ;)
