I dont know. So far, everyone in Hollywood has shown themselves to be perverted creeps. Will George Lucas be next.

He’s a “big fan” of Minions for all the worst reasons…

I mean, have you seen Jar Jar Binks? Makes perfect sense

Guy just likes wacky little dudes and making a fortune off toys. Remember "Jar Jar is the key to all of this"

renowned creator of "Star Wars"

A copy editor thought this was necessary.

A New Hope came out in 1977... Revenge of the Sith came out in 2005.

It is necessary for many, we just old.

That was my first thought. The 5 people who don't know who George Lucas is, aren't going to read or care about this article.

Weird ass crossovers and fan theories incoming.

Wow I'm not sure how old that title makes me feel..... nevermind my correct age but having to explain who George Lucas is would be very odd for a younger me. Obviously he did one of the best trilogies of all time, then....

RIP the entire minions franchise

[–] Melonpoly@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It was never a good franchise anyway
