I know - that along with no glasses and he's reinvented his entire image. My wife said "oh look, Peter Jackson is talking" and I looked at her like she was blind. With no sound on and no voice to go by, there is no way I would have even believed that was him.

Anyone else think Harrison Ford was drunk? I know he was hamming it up, but he still looked and sounded kinda sloshed.

I know you're probably joking, but Lucas is not responsible for Howard the Duck. He didn't direct it, write it, or even produce it. He doesn't own it either.

They forgot to mention Radioland Murders and Captain EO. I was really surpised they didn't mention Tucker: A Man and His Dream. I thought they showed a clip of it at the beginning.

He was the executive producer.

I DVR'd it. The William Shatner opening was pretty funny ("Star Wars? I can do Star Wars!"), but the Carrie Fisher rant was priceless. I haven't seen past hour one yet.

Not one prequel actor was even there. Ford at one point genuinely seemed choked up when thanking Lucas for his career, and told him he loved him.
Fisher's rant was very funny, especially when she said "I hope it was you I slept with for the part, because if not, then who the hell was that guy."
I also thought Lucas's self-depracating humor at the end was pretty funny, when he remarked that he is now one ahead of Terrence Malick for receiving the most praise for the least amount of work.
Shatner also told Lucas to live long, you've prospered enough.

I have no idea if Peter Mahew was in the Chewie costume or if that was some other actor. I'm assuming C3-PO was just an actor and not Anthony Daniels.

I actually think 3PO and R2 were just animatronics, like the one in Star Tours. My favorite part of the night was Fisher and Ford digging on the prequels. Carrie about how Amidala had a different costume everytime she walked thru a door, and which probably had a bra whereas she was told there were no underwears in space. And Ford going "during the earlier, funnier parts of the saga".

I'm surprised they didn't do a short history of his other contributions, like ILM, THX and the fact that ILM created the technology that went on to become Pixar.
