George Lucas's Next Project to Focus on Tuskegee Airmen
The black airmen trained at the Tuskegee Army Air Field during WWII were the first to prove that black men could pilot aircrafts in the U.S. military, and now these Tuskegee Airmen — some of whom are still alive today — will be the focus of George Lucas's next film, Red Tails.
The surviving airmen say they're glad to have Lucas tell their stories — about both the war they fought against Adolf Hitler and the racial wars waging here in the U.S.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: A Great Summertime Kickoff
There's a lot to enjoy about this fourth installment of Indiana Jones. It's fun, silly, adventure-filled and completely entertaining in ways we don't always get from movies these days, with the greatest parts coming straight from the marvelous imagination of Steven Spielberg. Plus, it's a summertime blockbuster that doesn't totally rely on CGI which feels practically old-fashioned — and I mean that in the best way possible.
Does the Internet Ruin the Fun of Movies?
In a recent interview with EW, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas debate the role of the Web when it comes to movies. Apparently, Spielberg has had a tough time keeping details of the new Indiana Jones film under wraps, and partially blames the Internet for ruining the element of surprise. Lucas, on the other hand argues it's not that big a deal, saying:
Y'know, Steven will say, "Oh, everything's out on the Internet [in terms of Crystal Skull details] — what this is and what that is."

"Robot Chicken" Takes on "Star Wars"
George Lucas usually isn't one for letting people make fun of his beloved Star Wars franchise, but this Sunday marks an exception. The guys of "Robot Chicken," the Adult Swim show that uses stop-motion animation and action figures to poke fun at pop culture, convinced Lucas to lend his material (and his voice) to a special "Robot Chicken" take on Star Wars.
Mark "Luke Skywalker" Hamill is among the other celebrities lending their voices to the special, which will air at the top of every hour from 10 p.m.
