Access Hollywood caught up with the legend at the Governor’s Awards on
Saturday, where he explained what his duties as a “consultant” on the
highly-anticipated seventh film will be, following Disney’s acquisition
of Lucasfilms.
“[If the filmmakers ask],‘Who’s this guy?’ I can tell them,” he told
Access at the event in Los Angeles. “I mean, they have a hundred
encyclopedias and things, but I actually know a lot. I can say, ‘This is
this and this is that.’”
But answering questions about the more remote characters of his beloved galaxy may be where George’s involvement ends.
“Basically I’m not — I don’t really have much to do,” he said.
George’s longtime friend Steven Spielberg previously told us he wouldn’t consider directing “Episode VII”
as it’s not his “genre,” and George — though he said the “Lincoln”
director is “probably the most brilliant director working in the
business today” — laughed at the idea of Steven helming the sci-fi
giant.
“I’m pretty sure he’d never
want to do that!” George told Access, when asked if he’d give his
blessing for Steven to direct a “Star Wars” film if the director ever
has a change of heart. “I don’t think he’d want to.”
