After all that happened to SWG, and after trying Battlefront II...I just have to take a moment and thank both SOE and LA...I will never buy anything from either again.
George Lucas is an idiot.
I just bought new TV, new stereo, lots of new games...and I am enjoying all of them immensely. Not a SONY, SOE, or LA in my house now. Feeld good...like quit smoking good.
Feels good to get that off my chest.

Not only does George Lucas have nothing to do with SoE, SWG, LucasArts or Battlefront II, but never has had anything to do with the games. He signed over/sold all of his rights and powers over starwars to various people years and years ago, the only thing hes done with starwars in the past 20 years is write the scripts for 1-3 and direct them, and gets paid for that. Hes stil pulling in royalties from the origional trilogy, and thats it.
On a different note, you are enjoying all of youre new household items because they arent Sony like you say, because you arent having to take them back up to the store for replacement.

Yeah I noticed that about Sony stuff.
Actually if you look it up he is still chairman of the board of directors for LEC. I looked it up about 4 months ago out of morbid curiousity. Now how active of a role he takes in that position is another story and anyone's guess.

Even before ep3, George himself said in the interviews, he's sick of SW, and he wants nothing to do with it anymore.
For him it's just a revenue stream now, and one handled by completely different people.
The Scripts for Episode 1-3 were crap i thought.
The characters and script in 4-6 were better. It didnt sounds scripted. I would say Episode 3 was the worst Script of them all. It was as if they were just reading very basic lines
At the risk of being forum lynched here...
My 10+ year old Magnavox TV finally died on me about 6 months ago. I borrowed my parents old 15+ year old Sony TV. It worked just fine.
The Ewoks should have tipped me off.

That TV was made before or right when the Playstation came out. It was made during a time when Sony still had two shits worth of brains, and they wernt dilued with thoughts and ideas of console godness which will never pay off.

oh please. everyone knows ol' GL sits on star wars I.P. like a hawk. it's his cash cow.
I actually wonder if George Lucas has anything to do with the game. I know LA does but does George actually take the time to care? Doubtful.
George Lucas: Thanks for all the nice words you have to say about myself and Star Wars. It means so much coming from such a loyal fan. I can say that Episode 7 will happen eventually. As for Star Wars Galaxies, I dont have any involvement with the way that video game operates. Sony handles all the details with that video game. I dont visit message boards, but Im sure the people at Sony are listening to the concerns that the fans have. The profits from Star Wars Galaxies are enormous. As long as we keep making excessive earnings, I will be satisfied. Please keep playing the video game.

OK , I have at least targeted my dislike , Lucas is cool ( Saw him in person - THANKS SOE ) and Most of the other LA games are ok ( Julio has been hanging out with SOE to long , he has turned to the dork side)
Alot of Sony Stuff is ok , or as far as I am concerned about half of it. But if boycott makes you happy then go for it , Just last year I boycotted all Pespi resteraunts when Pizza hut tried to sell 3 /pizza ingame on EQ2 and I am healthier and better for it and save two visit to a taco bell in the past 7 months I still do not go to Pepsi Restaurants .

That is a load of dingo's kidneys... prove he said that.

Regardless, he's still an idiot. And between him and this whole Galaxies mess, it's getting real hard to support Star Wars.

I never saw that site before, but after looking briefly at it, I have to agree that it is false. First thing I noticed was Lucas talking about how they could get the original actors in the game. Actually, Harrison Ford had to be sweet talked into coming back for episode VI, he wanted Han Solo to die a heroic death (as per documentary on DVD). I really don't see him acting in any Episode VII.
I doubt that he would come back for another episode, but money talks and bullshit walks...
"Sweet talked" is industry terminology for "We gave him more money".
I doubt that George does an episode 7...He might pass it on to someone else though. I think that would be the best thing for the series. Lucas did a great job with the original three, but the new trilogy is just plain stupid. It's for little kids.
Pass it off to someone with balls.

Supershadow.com is the biggest pile of shit on the internet, hands down. That guy claims he was in Episode 3, Lucas has scripts for 7, 8 and 9, he has a "well thought out" list of characters in the Star Wars universe and their "force rankings", and he has a nice little made up "Q & A section, its all pathetic. The site was shut down a few months before Episode 3 was released because he had so much spoiler bullshit up there, but about a month after the movie came out in theaters it was back online.
Id believe anybody on this planet outside political leaders before I do that supershadow guy.
