As mentioned by our own Jimmy Mac during last week's special Force-Cast Roundtable: Trek vs Wars, George Lucas will be honored at the The Gene Siskel Film Center of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago next weekend.

See the excerpt below:

"The Gene Siskel Film Center of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) proudly presents “An Adventure with George Lucas,” in honor of Academy Award®-nominated director and writer George Lucas, who will engage in a discussion led by guest-host – actor, director and writer – Jon Favreau.
