| Temporarily Suspended Account | |
Well happy Friday to you or maybe in this case not so happy. Today you may have noticed that the site was temporarily suspended. I found out this occurred as a result of the downloadable TV Show clips I was providing. In order to get the site back on, all the content they listed had to be deleted and it was. This means you will not be able to get a downloadable copy of your favorite shows that I was providing. I will now over the next week or so be trying to replace what has been lost with content that is already available on-line in places like YouTube, etc. Until that time, you will have some dead links. It is regrettable that I will not be able to provide you with these shows in a format you can keep, but at least you still have a site to come to. Don't forget that I do have an e-mail address if there is something that you may have missed. I apologize for any inconvenience and hope to continue bringing you the best quality Star Wars site possible. Have a good weekend!

| An Interview With The Director Of The People Vs. George Lucas | |
Robert Bernocchi from badtaste.it sent in word of an interview they had with the director of The People vs. George Lucas. We have an interview with Alexandre Philippe, the director of the documentary The People vs. George Lucas. He told us what we can expect from his work (it won't be a backlash against Lucas), who he will try to have in his documentary (the next ones are Kevin Smith, Seth Green and Joss Whedon), the difficulties to have celebrities speak about Lucas and something about what the producer Gary Kurtz has said in The People vs. George Lucas. Below, you can find two excerpts of our interview: To answer your other questions, we haven’t had much interaction with
Lucasfilm at this stage—only with Steve Sansweet, Head of Fan Relations. He’s
been very kind to us, basically acknowledging our right to make this film; but a
year ago, they didn’t seem too keen on participating. I hope this will change.
We’ll probably wait until we have a rough cut to approach them again. I
personally think it would be really terrific if George decided to step up and
answer some of the most pressing questions that millions of fans have wanted to
ask him for so long. Needless to say, we’re willing to fly anywhere at any time
to talk to him, and we’d love to talk to a number of folks at Lucasfilm and ILM
as well. Be sure to read the entire interview! Thanks for letting us know Robert.
