Lucas: "I sold Star Wars to White Slavers"

[Mach5]

Aren't they green slavers?

Exactly.

 

[Arrrrgggh]

Hence why they'd take issue with someone saying white slavers were number one.

 

[EnsignRicky]

The irony is white slave traders don't actually discriminate. That's just one more public misconception they have to suffer with every day.

 

[Arrrrgggh]

No, that would only be slave traders who only trade white people. White slave traders are slave traders who are white, as opposed to the Orions who are green slave traders.

Get with the program.

 

[EnsignRicky]

Now I'm confused. Did Lucas sell to the White, Slave Traders or the White Slave, Traders? Because if I'm not mistaken, their two totally different unions.

 

[Ithekro]

Depends, which union does Disney belong? Wasn't that the Mouse Traders Guild.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Lucas backtracked a day or so later and apologized for the "white slaver" remarks, and said how proud he was of everybody involved, and that he's glad that Star Wars is in good hands and is being developed further.

Good enough for me.

 

[EnsignRicky]

You know... Anakin and his mother, slave Leia, Slave 1, all those little kids in Temple Of Doom; I think Lucas knows more than he's letting on.

 

[The Old Mixer]

Flanneled slavers are in a class of their own.
