Title: George Lucas is a dick Post by: Varg on September 09, 2010, 01:03:53 AM I heard about the Ole Miss thing about them wanting Ackbar as the mascot and kind of forgot about it.

First I understand Lucas's position because that is one huge trademark nightmare. Not only would the school need his name. They need his image, the Starwars rebel symbol, his voice, toys, etc (in case I forgot something). That is a pretty huge leap. If the school was just the "Rebel Alliance" then they could have guest mascots that would show up giving direct references, but the general image would be a vague person not specifically known. A lot less to license.
It is easy to put the blame all on Lucas, but I also wonder if the school really, really, ever considered it. Its one of those things similar to NASA and the "name the space capsule". Let the people vote then still overrule it if they pick the funny crazy idea out of spite.

Ackbar is for movies and finger trap shirts ONLY....not schools replacing their racist mascots.

Shut yo ass up Title: Re: George Lucas is a dick Post by: RedDawn on September 09, 2010, 08:09:24 PM he represented a late 1800s southern gentleman of the Antebellum Age. Every fine southern gentleman of the Antebellum age was a fucking racist. FACT.
GEAUX TIGERS! Title: Re: George Lucas is a dick Post by: Stugots on September 10, 2010, 03:25:32 AM Wouldn't the "leader of the rebel alliance in star wars" be Mon Mothma?
Hows this? Title: Re: George Lucas is a dick Post by: ch0w on September 10, 2010, 07:10:25 AM Late 1800s was after the Civil War. Antebellum means "before the war." The only racist I know is JT. He HATES Mexicans.
Title: Re: George Lucas is a dick Post by: Jim Tressel on September 10, 2010, 07:57:06 AM I only hate 1 Mexican...early to mid-90's Brewers/Marlins lefty outfielder, Matias Carrillo.

Title: Re: George Lucas is a dick Post by: Jim Tressel on September 10, 2010, 05:33:05 PM He must be one of those Mexican-born Cubans then.
"Matías Carrillo García (born February 24, 1963 in Macapule, Sinaloa, México)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mat%C3%ADas_Carrillo Title: Re: George Lucas is a dick Post by: Nightstalker on September 10, 2010, 07:10:55 PM You can't believe everything you read on the internet besides Glenn Becks.
Title: Re: George Lucas is a dick Post by: Redbear8 on September 13, 2010, 01:19:03 PM He forged his documents so people wouldn't know he's from Cuba.
