Now If Only George Lucas Would Go Down With His Sinking Ship

George Lucas compares the latest offspring in the degenerate "Star Wars" prequel line to "Titanic":

Director George Lucas had a message for fans as he previewed a glimpse of the final tale in the billion-dollar "Star Wars" film franchise: leave the lightsabers at home, but don't forget the tissues.

"It's not like the first one. It's more emotional," said the director of the upcoming space adventure "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith," which arrives in theaters May 19.

"I describe it as a 'Titanic' in space. It's a real tearjerker, and it will be received in a way that none of us can expect," he told theater owners at the ShoWest convention.

No longer content to mimic his own mediocre movies, now he apes another piece of godawful dreck.
