GEORGE LUCAS APOLOGIZES FOR ‘WHITE SLAVERS’ REMARK ABOUT DISNEY:

Lucas has expressed conflicting feelings about selling the “Star Wars” franchise to Disney for $4 billion in 2012.

He and Disney had different visions for the future of the franchise, which helped him make the decision to move on, though he still refers to the “Star Wars” movies as his “kids.”

“I loved them, I created them, I am very intimately involved in them,” Lucas told [Charlie Rose] about the franchise.

Lucas then quipped: “I sold them to the white slavers that takes these things, and…” Lucas trailed off with a laugh and didn’t finish his sentence.

Gee, as opposed to your kids being conscripted into the Vietcong, the inspiration for the original Star Wars?
