GEORGE BUSH USES THE FORCE TO CONVINCE GEORGE LUCAS INTO USING A DIFFERENT DIRECTOR

Current President of the United States George Bush had an emergency meeting today with George Lucas. The topic: A change of directors for the latest - and last - installment of the Star Wars saga. Bush has claimed that he was "slightly upset" with the two previous LucasFilms.
"It was lacking depth and character that the first three - especially The Empire Strikes Back - excelled greatly in," claims Mr. Bush.
Bush made an emergency flight between airings of his latest public announcements on the war in Iraq to meet with Lucas about choosing a new director for the latest installment so that "the fans out there will be well rewarded after sitting through the last two fiascos."
"I have been a long admirerer of Star Wars ever since the Reagan Administration had pushed the project forward," said Bush. "I see there are many advantages to the fight against terrorism with heros like Han Solo and Luke Skywalker to defend our country. Once they have finished their duties in that galaxy far, far away, I hope to still be in term when they return so that I can greet them with open arms and they can help rid the planet of The Dark Side that invades our homeland."

Lucas was cited as saying he was still in control of the trilogy and will direct it himself, and the latest will be the darkest of them all. And the best. Realizing that Bush was unable to convince Lucas with mere words, he tried to use The Jedi Mind Trick to alter Lucas' ideas, but Lucas assured Bush that his brain is slightly larger than a giant-sized gnat.

George Lucas could not be reached for comment. He is currently in Europe filming the third installment of the trilogy on "the largest blue/greenscreen stage in movie history" and refused to leave his Top Secret Hideout during his hourly Doughnut and Coffee Break.

Yup. The whole "I have been a long admirerer of Star Wars ever since the Reagan Administration had pushed the project forward" part is funny, though -- for the younger ones, the Reagan "STAR WARS" project was Reagan's missile defence plan back when he was President. It's fun because W. really would be dumb enough to do such a mix-up. :D

Here's the latest on Bush and his discussions with George Lucas.

He was pretty upset about The Mind Trick not working, so he decided to take measures into his own hand.

Just in case you guys might have taken it seriously.:rolleyes:

No offense, but really...how the fuck could you think that was real. Seriously

It was funny as hell though, and I could only wish Ep 3 would change SOMETHING to make it better than the previous two, which I didn't care for.

That phoney story has now given me a quite hilarious mental image of George and George (wow, didn't even pick up on that until I wrote it) driving around Skywalker ranch in a golf cart hitting people with toy lightsabers. Naturally, Bush would be making the *wooosh* sounds with his voice.




That brings to mind one of the funnier lines from the film 'Can't Hardly Wait':

Fake Vader: "Luke, I am your father!"

*cuts of his hand"

Fake Luke: "Noooooooo!"

*the guy playing Luke pushes the guy playing Darth Vader*

Fake Vader: "Hey, Luke never pushed Vader!!!"

Fake Luke: "Well he should have."
