  • If Lucas got an achievement award before 1999 that would be fine.

  • Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, Mark Hammill, audience and stage - 6 things George digitally inserted into this video.

  • @FleaIsMyHero hear hear!!

  • Tom Hanks saluting George Lucas? Wow... interesting how these two never worked together. Good for them.

  • @FleaIsMyHero I agree. I do believe that, in many ways, Lord of the Rings is better. It's better acted, better written, and it has better visuals. But I love Star Wars a tiny bit more. I don't know. Maybe it's because my Dad went to the same college as George Lucas, so I feel I was born to be a Star Wars fan.

    I don't know. But you know what? I don't care. Movies were not created to be compared, they were created to be enjoyed. Farewell wherever you Fare... and May the Force be with you...

  • @KayWildcat Woah!They were great not as good as the first 3 I might add but you NEVER ever say that about a George Lucas film unless its Indiana Jones film

  • @Theguitardude30 minus george lucas

  • Ha, George's reaction to Tom in the beginning is classic.

    I want that X-Wing they strung up to the rafters.

  • @FleaIsMyHero same with harry potter :)
