I agree. It isn't a bad thing, nor are all liberals terrible people. I am quite conservative, yet I've been told by some that I am very Liberal. But I grew up in Western Canada in B.C. and that is quite Liberal minded as well.
But as we don't know George Lucas personally, it would be very difficult to judge his character simply on political beliefs. All we know is that he makes great movies :D
 
I didnt' say being liberal is a bad thing! I just said he's a little "too-liberal" for me. He supports a lot of things I go against, and for that, I have almost not respect for him. But for Star Wars (as I've never seen any other film of his) I have to agree, he makes some great films!
 
From and interview with George Lucas:

From interview conducted by Jess Cagle, "So, What's the Deal with Leia's Hair?" in Time magazine, 29 April 2002 issue (http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101020429/qa.html):
Q: The morals we learn from Darth Vader's life--about letting go and making amends--are dominant themes in 12-step programs. Did you ever go through recovery for drugs or alcohol?
A: I never did drugs. Drinking was never a problem. But I've done a lot of research, and those [morals] are very valid. The interesting thing about the 12 steps is that they work, and not just for addictive people. I'm very interested in psychology. I dabble in that stuff with my friends. I spend most of my fun time arguing, pontificating, discussing those things.

Q: What religion are you?

A: I was raised Methodist. Now let's say I'm spiritual. It's Marin County. We're all Buddhists up here. I consider myself and Buddhist Methodist.
 
Yes, I was around when the first-made Star Wars trilogy appeared in theaters. We Christians of that time were very hopeful about the usefulness of Obi-Wan as a symbol of Jesus--a hope that I am sure George Lucas purposely encouraged, in order to lure us and our money to the theaters. At least two Christian books were written centering on the theme of Obi-Wan illustrating the nature of Jesus with Luke symbolizing the new Christian. My Mary and I actually had some bumper stickers made for distribution, saying "JESUS IS THE FORCE." But ultimately Mr. Lucas buried the Christian imagery under an avalanche of Eastern pantheism.

Concerning "liberals": that is one of the most ambiguous of words in modern usage. Four people could use this word in a conversation, with no two of them meaning the same thing by it. Two persons who both regard themselves as liberals might quarrel bitterly and come away calling each other Nazis.

But many of those who are nowadays considered liberals believe most or all of the following statements:

1) All religions should enjoy total freedom of expression, EXCEPT Christianity.

2) All cultures are equally valid and good, EXCEPT Judeo-Christian-based Western culture.

3) All criticism of people's customs or preferences is the same thing as racist hate speech, EXCEPT when the target has customs or preferences based on the Bible.

4) All extensive private ownership of property and wealth is wicked and evil, EXCEPT when the wealthy person is a liberal (as "liberal" is understood here).

5) Killing human beings is always wrong, EXCEPT when the ones being killed are unborn babies.

6) In every way other than reproductive functions, men and women are exactly equal, identical, indistinguishable and interchangeable--EXCEPT that all women are smarter and better than all men.

7) Governmental authority should always be centralized, and enjoy total domination over people's lives, EXCEPT where this would interfere with MY pleasures and privileges.

8) Every political viewpoint is equally entitled to be heard in the public square, EXCEPT any viewpoint that disagrees with the preceding items.

I like the Star Wars movies .. all of them!
My brother bought them on DVD, only the first three (The phantom menace, attack of the clones, revenge of the sith..) he didn't buy! Well on video.. but that doesn't count! And I've seen the 'revenge of the sith' in the cinema.
