Schlid found every fucking SWG post on the entire site, dating back to his appearance as a zygote, and threw them all there.
That was actually me.  You overestimate Schild's capacity for OCD thread-herding.   Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

I think I heard someone say twitch!



Not that I seriously think Lucas even knows what the hell SWG is, beyond some online gamey thingamadoodle some of his people signed off on.

No, probably not. I imagine the conversation went something like this:

"Massively multiplayer online who-what's-it? Do I get more money? Hold on a second, it's time for my afternoon swim..." *proceeds to dive into a vault full of money Scrooge Mcduck style*

I wonder how much moolah GL has in that money bin... I never knew (for example) that he got taken to the cleaners during/after ESB due to his divorce.

Between ILM and Skywalker Sound alone, there's no telling how much GL is worth.

The guy bugs me a little because he's always talking about how HUGE this will be, or how AMAZING this is, and how so-and-so TOTALLY missed the boat on this one, while he seems to be missing boats constantly without him noticing.

Maybe he'd be a better marketing guy than whatever it is he does.  Either way, it certainly seems to me that he'd be one of those names only the hopelessly industry-obsessed (and industry insiders) know if it weren't for EQ1.

Witty banter not included.

Legend has it that divorce is why he waited so long to revisit and come-up with the "prequels."  The prenup clause that gave his ex-wife a percentage of the revenue off of Star Wars supposedly expired, so he said "well, time to make some money again." I'm hesitant to believe it, but it's out there.   If true, we can all grumble further at the woman, because I don't expect they'd have sucked nearly as hard if they'd been made prior to him entering 'old man' phase, where violence is bad and Greedo has to shoot first.  awesome, for real Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

The past cannot be changed. The future is yet within your power.

I read that the biggest chunk of his income is from merchandising and various licensing rights.

I love the smell of facepalm in the morning
