Probably not? I say probably because y’know, I don’t know for sure…but it’s unlikely. Lucasfilm had a ‘no slash’ policy and all sorts of alienating goings-on back in the earlier days of Star Wars fandom, but the voice of Lucas the person (as opposed to Lucas the name of the company) seems, as far as I can tell, to have been pretty much absent from proceedings. Based on what I know of him (i.e. doesn’t particularly seem to like interacting with people ever) he seems to have just…ignored them, let them run rampant cease-and-desisting people, and gone back to directing his movies/raising his kids/having water-fights with Spielberg and what have you.
Then in 2008 he seems to have woken up and donated $50,000 to Equality California (Lucasfilm the company donated a further $50,000) in order to fight the ban on same-sex marriage. Which is, y’know, what millionaires should be doing so it doesn’t deserve praise really, but not many people know that I guess?
Colin, a young Star Wars fan, hopes to become a Jedi Knight when he’s older, but he also wants to get married and start a family—something forbidden by the Jedi Order, according to Attack Of The Clones and Revenge Of The Sith. Probably dissatisfied with his parents’ guidance to “just become a new kind of Jedi” or to “stop watching those prequels and watch the real Star Wars,” Colin went straight to the source with a succinct letter to Lucasfilm:
Colin received the following response:
…as well as a bunch of cool Star Wars merchandise:
StarWars.com: Have you ever gotten any feedback from George Lucas about your Star Wars songs?
Weird Al Yankovic: I have. I met him a couple of times. I think the first time I met him in person was at an Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation benefit. He told me his kids were big fans of mine, which kind of blew my mind. [Laughs]
