[Breaking News: from another strangely irrelevant moment in our newsroom…]
“Who is that behind you? Jesus?” my editor asked, noticing my son’s artwork from several years ago on the wall behind me.
“No, it’s George Lucas,” I replied. “You can raise and lower him with this little tab in the back.”
I demonstrated the Amazing Ascension Action! capability of my son’s art piece.
My editor raised a brow. “I’m pretty sure thats supposed to be Jesus… you know, ascending into heaven.”
I took a long look at it. “No, that’s definitely George Lucas. It’s how he probably dresses when he’s hanging around Skywalker Ranch.”
“You’re serious?” said my editor as she moved the figure up and down. “Why in God’s name would George Lucas be dressed in robes ascending into the heavens?”
I shook my head. “Have you even SEEN the Star Wars movies?”
You be the judge: Is this NOT George Lucas?!?
While there is a faint resemblance to Jesus, I would say it’s definitely George Lucas. It’s those eyes!
I agree. Although the sandals threw me off at first, until I came up with the “Chillin’ at Skywalker Ranch” theory. Thanks for the affirmation!
hmmmm, maybe in his younger days and seeing how it is several years old, i suppose it could be passable for George Lucas.But the lack of chinage (is that a word), protruding from underneath the beard leads me to think that your son was either a) being very nice to George’s likeness or b) he didn’t give Jesus long enough hair.
Lol! Excellent points. I’m thinking it’s the 1977 George Lucas; kind of like the Jailhouse Rock Elvis compared to Studded Jumpsuit Elvis.
Definitely George Lucas but maybe a 20 years ago George. I don’t think Jesus had quite the coiffure. Plus there’s no yellow glow behind him and we all know that Jesus had a yellow glow coming from his backside. Although, if you squint and puff a few off a joint the white in back with smiley faces looks a bit like wings. But Jesus didn’t have wings so…meh, definitely Mr. Lucas.
I appreciate your in-depth and thoughtful accumulation of facts, evidence and perspective, and how you included the merits of a doobie.
you would have to get all Star Wars religous…
….forgive me George Lucas…
BUT… that is Chewbaca…….shaved.
HOLY…. you’re right! I never looked at it that way.
The controversy rages on…
…SAY IT.
…MOTHER OF…Princess Leah.
Clearly your son goes to Parochial school. Get ready to go to church every Sunday . . . the teacher will ask you. I mean your son.
It was just a four-day camp in the summer, so I think we’re good. But when we do go to church, I usually bring a lightsaber…
This is not exactly how this all went down.
—Ned’s editor
True. I left out the part about Chewbacca. It didn’t seem appropriate…
If you think about it, that project may have be done prior to the release of the Episode I: The Phantom Menace and the (I wish it could be forgotten) introduction of Jar Jar Binks.
After that, many true fans may believe he is heading in the other direction.
đŸ˜‰
LOL! Yeah, I’m not sure even God will forgive him for Jar-Jar!
george lucas – leader of the cult of star wars.
*taking a knee*
What’s the shortest line in the Star Wars script?
George Lucas wept.
John 11:35 is a typo??
Hahahahaha! I always wondered why the guy holding up the signs at the football games was dressed as Chewbacca. Now I know.
And after Jar-Jar, we ALL wept.
LOL — and you needed a binky.
I think Jar-Jar Binky is his baby.
No. That was Baby Fett.
Grandson of Grand Ma Tarkin.
I think I saw him hanging out at the Darth Mall.
I hope they get baby Fett back before he has a dooku in his diaper. I heard he had some T.I.E. food before they left.
That could turn him into a storm pooper.
That will definitely make it harder to wipe out the Fecal Empire.
Maybe with the assistance of a Dookie he will prevail.
Talk about using the Force… Yep, definitely strong with this one.
Think Ex Lax
These aren’t the anecdotes you’re looking for. Move along.
Hero.
I’m no hero, Ross. I’m just a columnist doing what any…
Oh, wait. You were replying to Steve and Randall.
… carry on.
“May the horse be with you.”
Oops, sorry — that Was Seabiscuit
Great, now I’m hungry and need glue
George, for sure. You can tell from the smiley poot-poots.
My thoughts exactly. Sort of…
I’ll tell you who it does look like…go get a mirror Ned…see what I mean?
Now, if only my wallet was a mirror image…!
Didn’t he direct Assyrian Graffiti?
Yes, that and Pheromone 451.
If your son can reproduce this on velvet I may have a commission……
That’s a fantastic idea! I am Googling the next Sci-Fi Com in Oregon right now and booking a table…
That is definitely George Lucas. You can tell by the toe fungus.
He really needs to change those sandals once in a while.
hahahaha… well, at least he ain’t wearing wool socks with em.. this time. đŸ˜€
Hmmmm. George Lucas as Jesus. Gives a whole new twist on the idea that we were visited by ancient aliens đŸ™‚
You know, maybe the fourth Indiana Jones was Lucas’s way of breaking the news to us about his true origins? I really need to watch that movie and Chariots of the Gods again .
Ha! đŸ™‚
Actually, I was thinking of Arthur Fonzarelli (Fonzie) in the last seasn of Happy Days. To me, it is either George Lucas or Henry Winkler. However, I am beginning to realize that it could be both.
Indeed; He — whoever he is — works in mysterious ways…
