More George Lucas Chicago Award Coverage

Posted By Justin on June 15, 2009



As a follow-up to the original "George Lucas Honored In Chicago" story and special Force-Cast interview, we have a few more story links to share with you that cover this event.

First up is a story from Bill Zwecker at the Chicago Sun Times which makes reference to the interview our own Jimmy Mac was privileged enough to do with Mr. Lucas:

"Moments after Hobson talked about Lucas' ''secret'' sense of humor, the filmmaking legend zinged a radio reporter when handed a strange-looking microphone contraption resembling a police device. ''Is that a Taser? Are you trying to tase me?'' quipped the guy who created light sabers and blasters."

Next we have a video report from Dean Richards of WGN Morning News in Chicago and what he thought of the award event.

And we finish up with these two story links from ClubJade.net:

An Adventure With George Lucas in Chicago

More On George In Chicago


We'll be sure to keep you updated on any new stories pertaining to the award ceremony as they come our way!


UPDATE: Cris Macht and The Force Among Us production team prepared a very cool video tribute to that was shown to the audience just prior to George hitting the stage. Lucas even passed along his personal thanks.
