The ol’ fuzzball lays it out candidly on camera.

Uhm, so this is basically to do with a “new” ‘clone wars’ animated series, just set a little earlier than the previous one.
What is it with Lucas and prequelisation?
Star Wars isn’t dead, but the movies are. Where’s Joss when you need him?
he’s just so damn shy ! :)
At this point, I’d be OK with him having a spokesperson accompany him to each and every public event and field every and all questions asked of him just so I don’t have to endure his monotone responses and lackluster behaviour.
LUCAS
‘Tony …’
TONY
‘Hello. I’m Tony Mendez; Mr. Lucas’ spokesman. I’ll be fielding all questions from here on out.
In answer to your question, Mr. Lucas is sick of Star Wars. He has “people” who handle that franchise for him now and suggests that you all get a life and move on. If you feel that you cannot, he welcomes you to buy a wookie mug at the refreshment stand and a Clone Wars t-shirt at the cash.
Now if there are no Indian Jones questions, Mr. Lucas has a very important meeting with a big gulp that he has to attend.
Thank you.’
Take a look at Lucas’ face the moment he turns away from the camera. (The last seconds of the clip) Every hint of smile and joy seems to leave his face and eyes.
Jesus, the reporter isn’t even privy to the Star Wars timeline… is Darth Vader going to be IN the series? Christ on a popcicle stick.
