George Lucas

From a galaxy far, far away to... Despicable Me. Hollywood is buzzing: George Lucas is officially cast in 'Minions & Monsters.' The Star Wars visionary, long known for his cinematic empire, will voice a character in the upcoming Illumination and Universal Pictures animated feature. Sources confirm Lucas's surprising love for the yellow, gibberish-speaking creatures led to this unexpected move. This marks a major vocal debut for the iconic filmmaker, proving even galactic emperors have a soft spot for bananas.

Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time at San-Diego Comic-Con: GEORGE LUCAS!!!! On Sunday 7/27/2025, George Lucas along with Lucasfilm's senior vice president and executive design director Doug Chiang and filmmaker Guillermo del Toro were guests at a highly anticipated panel highlighting the upcoming Lucas Museum of Narrative Art! The panel was expertly moderated by Queen Latifah . Co-founded by George Lucas and Mellody Hobson, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art will be the world's first institution dedicated to the exploration of narrative art, celebrating illustrated storytelling across eras and cultures, from ancient cave drawings and children's book illustrations to comic books and digital media. The panel marked one of the most talked about and widely attended sessions in Comic-Con history, drawing over 6,000 on the final day of the convention. And we were there! We will play and discuss favorite quotes from each of the panelists, and give our opinions on the panel.

In this episode, we speak with Patrick Cotnoir, co-producer of the new documentary, "I'm George Lucas: A Connor Ratliff Story". This documents behind-the-scenes of the hilarious "The George Lucas Talk Show" which you can see live or on YouTube. Both the documentary and talk show pay tribute to George Lucas by answering this question: what would George Lucas be like as a talk show host? "The George Lucas Talk Show" has hosted guests such as Weird Al, Ahmed Best, and Whoopi Goldberg. What would these people say to George Lucas? Patrick Cotnoir, co-producer and talent booker, shares some great stories on both the documentary and talk show. He also helped create "The Naboo Movie: All-Star Live Reading of The Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary" and we just had to get some behind-the-scenes stories of that as well! It is always great speaking with someone who has just as much love and respect for George and the Star Wars Saga. "I'm George Lucas: A Connor Ratliff Story " is available now on VOD. About the Documentary: "I'm George Lucas: A Connor Ratliff Story" For five years, comedian Connor Ratliff has performed as retired filmmaker George Lucas in his monthly UCB NY cult comedy show, "The George Lucas Talk Show". Co-hosted by actor Griffin Newman and featuring A-list guests booked by producer Patrick Cotnoir, the show allows Connor to both exalt and poke fun at the vast world of Lucas, including Star Wars. However, Connor begins to question if the show should continue due to its ongoing stress with little financial and career gain. By following the live performances and behind the scenes for one year, the mysteries of Connor's inner self are explored in this portrait of an artist, and his own feelings on his history, value, and legacy are revealed.

I never missed an episode of Star Trek when I was young. I grew up watching Captain James T. Kirk and his crew aboard the Starship Enterprise while they explored the universe and defended the Federation. I also loved the Star Wars films and distinctly remember watching the starfighter combat and how Luke Skywalker destroyed the Death Star with photon torpedoes. But never had I imagined while watching them that I would someday fly in space, much less that one of my missions would involve photon torpedoes and presenting an Oscar to George Lucas himself. Well, not really photon torpedoes, of course, but something close enough—if not more fascinating. In this episode, you’ll hear about my Oscar turn with George Lucas and some of my most treasured memories from my third mission in space. I explain how we prepared to present an Oscar to George Lucas while in orbit. I also reveal why sentences ending in “that” are forbidden in spaceflight and share the beauty of experiencing science. “You can’t help but think of Star Wars when you get to present an Oscar to George Lucas, and we were definitely thinking of it when the time came to power up our electron beam experiment.” - Kathy Sullivan This week on Kathy Sullivan Explores: ● Stowing George Lucas’s Oscar aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis ● Our electron beam experiment and one of the most sacred rules of spaceflight ● Maxwell’s equation and the beauty of experiencing science Our Favorite Quotes: ● “Understanding an equation intellectually is one thing; seeing the behavior with your own eyes as you soar hundreds of miles above a planet at 17,500 miles an hour—that’s quite another thing.” - Kathy Sullivan ● “One of the most sacred rules of spaceflight: there shall be no sentences ending in the word ‘that.’ Such a sentence is guaranteed to give a heart attack to every crewmember who can’t see whatever portents of impending doom triggered your outburst.” - Kathy Sullivan Spaceship Not Required I’m Kathy Sullivan, the only person to have walked in space and gone to the deepest point in the ocean. I’m an explorer, and that doesn’t always have to involve going to some remote or exotic place. It simply requires a commitment to put curiosity into action. In this podcast, you can explore, reflecting on lessons learned from life so far and from my brilliant and ever-inquisitive guests. We explore together in this very moment from right where you are--spaceship not required. Welcome to Kathy Sullivan Explores.

Episode 17 Vatican II – Introduction pt. 2 – Why it Matters: An Exploration of Faith with Archbishop George Lucas In this episode with Archbishop Lucas, we continue the introduction to Vatican II. The Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican , commonly known as the Second Vatican Council , or Vatican II , was the 21st ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church. The council met in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome for four periods (or sessions), each lasting between 8 and 12 weeks, in the autumn of each of the four years 1962 to 1965. Preparation for the council took three years, from the summer of 1959 to the autumn of 1962. The council was opened on 11 October 1962 by John XXIII (pope during the preparation and the first session), and was closed on 8 December 1965 by Paul VI (pope during the last three sessions, after the death of John XXIII on 3 June 1963). – wikipedia Vatican II at St. Peter’s in Rome For the documents of Vatican II visit here For more episodes in this series visit the Why it Matters: An Exploration of Faith with Archbishop George Lucas Podcast page For more teachings and information about Archbishop George J.
