George Lucas is currently scheduled to meet with senior officials at Walt Disney Imagineering in late September. Reportedly to review the work that's been done to date on "Star Tours 2.0" as well as to talk about how Lucasfilm's presence at Disneyland could be expanded.

Disney allegedly wants to turn a large portion of Tomorrowland over to George Lucas. So that a set of new "Star Wars" -themed shops & restaurants (And -- more importantly -- at least one new major attraction) can be added to this side of the theme park.

Disney still wants to cut a deal for the broadcast rights to Lucas's live-action "Star Wars" TV series with an eye toward airing this program on ABC and ABC Family. But that show is at least a year away from officially going into production. The last he heard, George's people were still interviewing writers and looking for a showrunner.

Whereas that computer-animated "Clone Wars" series ... That's in production right now and could be available for airing as soon as the Fall of 2008. And that's the sort of show that Mickey could easily cross-platform at ABC, ABC Family, the Disney Channel and Toon Disney.

And given that Lucas absolutely loves the Disney theme parks (He and his family actually visited Disneyland back on July 19, 1955. The second day that this theme park was open to the public) ... What Mouse House management is hoping is -- if they invite George to be much more hands-on about how his "Star Wars" characters are used in the parks from here on in ... Well, that might be enough to give their company an edge when it comes to acquiring the broadcast rights to "Clone Wars" and/or that "Star Wars" live-action series.

Disney has some very stiff competition when it comes to that "Clone Wars" TV series. With both Fox and HBO having allegedly already put in extremely competitive bids for the broadcast rights for this show.

Disney seems to be wanting to sweeten the deal for George. Will it be enough to sway the Jedi Master? Be sure to read the entire article for more!

The ceremony included characters from a galaxy far, far away including Boba Fett, Jango Fett and X-Wing pilots, Jedi and Stormtroopers. This was followed by a spectacular departure aboard a Southwest Airlines flight as Chewbacca and his galactic friends help push back the airplane on the tarmac.

Once the flight landed in Houston, Stormtroopers helped escort the lightsaber off the plane as R2-D2 and other famous Star Wars characters kicked-off the second half of the celebration in William P. Hobby Airport. The fanfare concluded outside the baggage claim where the lightsaber will be transported by Hummer with an official City of Webster police escort to NASA’s Space Center Houston where it will be on display through September 4.

Hamish Glasgow, whose three-year-old son Hamish suffers from rare Hoyeraal Hreidarsson, says, "Ewan was really down to earth. He was great with Cameron.
He was really relaxed and you could tell he's a really good dad. "He said the favourite movie he'd done was Trainspotting and the one he liked least was Star Wars." McGregor starred in 1999's The Phantom Menace, 2002s Attack Of The Clones and 2005s Revenge Of The Sith.

I might take this one with a grain of salt. Ewan said he liked Star Wars the least, but I think the reporter branded it the worst work he has done. I am sure filming the Star Wars movies are very difficult and disjointed with all the green and blue screen scenes. The dialogue is probably also not the best lines he has ever had to learn. They made it seem like Ewan hated it, but I have a feeling that it is truly not like that. My two cents worth.
