Lucas Hates Leaks!
The Sci-Fi web site has an article stating that George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars Saga dislikes leaks before the release of new movies.
George Lucas spoke out for the first time about leaked footage from his upcoming Star Wars: Episode II, which appeared on the Internet briefly, the Popcorn U.K. Web site reported. Such leaks are "taking a big bite out of the film industry," Lucas told the site at the MTV Movie Awards. He added that if people continue to steal footage and place it on the Internet, "you're going to see less and less big films" being made.
The clip--depicting Episode II stars Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor practicing their lightsaber fighting on a blue-screen set--appeared on TheForce.net Web site, but came down after Lucasfilm complained, Popcorn reported.
As for the film itself, Lucas said, "We're just starting the animation now, so we're about halfway through."
