Now that GLTS has been recognized by
@Variety
as one of the most impactful voices in Comedy for 2022, I wonder if we could get our Twitter followers up to 10k before the end of the year.

That's right, angry star wars boys: R2-D2 is a Barbie doll now and so is Darth Vader, and there's nothing you can do about it except be miserable for the rest of your lives.
Introducing the all-new

@Barbie
Dolls, inspired by the film, Star Wars: A New Hope.✨Celebrating the original concept art, this collectible set pays homage to three iconic characters.

Somewhere in the world today, I hope there is at least one man who is watching the Mark Hamill episode of The Muppet Show for the first time and is inexplicably furious about how "Luke wouldn't be that way!"
What Star Wars is really all about, in 60 seconds.
If it sounds familiar, it isn't because you've seen the movies -- it's because it is happening again, right now.
The George Lucas Talk Show is going on hiatus, which means no show tonight or next week or the next. No timeline for our return yet but we will keep you posted!
We promised 2 "George & Patrick" GLTS livestreams -- one in June & one in July -- in advance of our Edinburgh adventure in August!
The 1st of these is this Wednesday, JUNE 28, at 8pm ET/5pm PT!
SPECIAL GUESTS:

only on !
Griffin Newman was a guest on the second GLTS live show, way back in 2014. Funny, talented guy, and skilled parodist. Despite clearly labeling his account, he has been suspended.

Unca George about to officiate a wedding in New Jersey, with Patrick as opening act/hype man.
This is a one-time thing, we will never do it again! All you had to do was be the first couple to request it!
"Mark Hamill."
Are we too late for this trend??
One of our deepest hopes for The George Lucas Talk Show is that we can persuade
@HamillHimself
to be a guest for a show we would call "HAMILL-BARBERA."
The concept: NO Star Wars talk. At ALL.
We *only* talk about H-B cartoons.
But nobody talks about how perfect the Indiana Jones titles are
1) they raid the lost ark
2) there is a temple of doom
3) they go on one last crusade
4) there is a kingdom and it is the crystal skull kind
thank you to
@AdamLanceGarcia
for making this happen and thank you to
@rachelzegler
for refusing to say that
@GLucasTalkShow
is a podcast. it's not.
go see HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES in theaters now.
On May 4, 2022, it's the 1st annual GLTS Star Wars Day DESCRIBE-A-THON.
We cannot SHOW you the movies.
But we can **TELL** you the story of Star Wars, like you've never heard it before!
IT'S THE ULTIMATE SPECIAL EDITION!
Starting at 7:30pm ET on !
Everyone who attended our panel at
@NY_Comic_Con
should watch this vintage commercial and remember the experience we shared together tonight... All thanks to
@realbdw
!
IV: data storage and transfer
V: networking
VI: construction
I: recruitment
II: automation
III: layoffs
VII: expansion
Rogue One: uploading files
VIII: telecommuting
IX: nepotism
Mandalorian: child care
Book Of Boba Fett: late life career change
Let's work our way through the
#RiseofSkywalker
trailer in slow-motion.
1) Lucasfilm logo w/animal noises. We hear two people either lock or un-lock their cars.
2) Cross-fade to a tree planet. Is this a return to Endor, or a fake-out to make you think they are mirroring EpVI?
NEW SPECIAL EDITION in honor of
@timheidecker
being a guest on tonight's GLTS.
(Apologies to John Williams, your score for Episode IV is no longer needed here, this just works better for THE SCENE)
Georgie Porgies!
Just a heads up that next year, 2024, will be:
The 10th anniversary of GLTS
GL 80th birthday
And.... perhaps most important of all, the
#Watto25
Celebration.
Boba Fett wants to live out the last few decades of his life with some dignity & build up some equity. His old job was a stupid way to live & he is exhausted. He does not care if you thought he was cool in his old job or that you like him better with his helmet on.
Anyone in the world who is angry about a Star Wars movie should go stand in the middle of the nearest river and whisper all their complaints for as long as they need to. They will return home refreshed and unburdened.
ANNOUNCEMENT: "retired filmmaker George Lucas" will be missing the next 2 George Lucas Talk Shows (3/6 & 4/3).
GL will return for the
#StarWarsDay
show on May 1st.
WATTO (
@GriffLightning
) will be doing 2 one-man shows instead.
2 OFF-BROADWAY SHOWS!
NO GUESTS!
NOT TO BE MISSED!
Saturday 12/18: come celebrate

Now that the MCU has embraced the weirdness of the Marvel Multiverse, it is long past time to bring Howard The Duck fully into the fold, with
@LeaKThompson
directing. The time is right for a HtD
@disneyplus
original series.
Every single Star Wars fan should be planning a 3am ET Ewok movie party, but **especially** all the angry boys who spent the last 5 years loudly proclaiming their allegiance to the George Lucas era of SW movies.
IV: Darth Vader killed my daddy
V: Darth Vader IS my daddy
VI: My daddy is good now
I: I'm a very special boy
II: I want to get married
III: oh no I'm Darth Vader!
VII: I wonder who I am
VIII: Maybe I am nobody special
IX: oh shit I'm Palpatine's GRANDDAUGHTER???
TONIGHT:
The George Lucas Talk Show:
@JoCoCruise
Edition
None of us know what this show is going to be like. I suspect it will be weird and I suspect it will be fun?
If there are Star Wars movies you don't like, go stand in a river somewhere and tell the little fishies all about it, they are the only ones who give a fuck about your star wars complaints
The line-up for the George Lucas Talk Show Convention would be one hundred trillion times more impressive than this week's RNC. (Designed by
@BenMakesTV
)
Fun Fact: there was almost a brand new GLTS this week, but it fell apart in the planning/organizational phase-- nobody's fault, just one of those THINGS!!!
Other shows never even tell you when they *almost* do a show. We're different. WE TELL YOU.
#HappyLifeDay
Tonight is not the end of GLTS, but it **is** the final GLTS on Planet Scum, which allowed us to reinvent our little show when the world shut down. Thank you,

Tune in tonight at 7:30pm ET

Woke up to see Jar Jar Binks trending on twitter only to find that people are comparing
@realDonaldTrump
to JJB.
This is NOT COOL, folks.
DJT is not Jar Jar.
He is Jabba The Hutt. Repulsive criminal monster, mistreats women, comes to a bad end & it's entirely his own fault.
“Even the modern tyrants whom the president ... praises demonstrate more facility with language and more attention to governing detail than does he. To borrow from popular culture, Trump looks less like the sinister Emperor Palpatine and more like the hapless Jar Jar Binks.”
This Sunday, The George Lucas Talk Show welcomes a legend....
He's JEDI MASTER KELLERAN BEQ....
He's Coruscant clubgoer, ACHK MED-BEQ....
He's the honorable Senator from Naboo, JAR JAR BINKS.

Netflix will stop green-lighting “expensive vanity projects” such as ‘The Irishman’.
“This tendency to do anything to attract talent and giving them carte blanche is going away,” says one source.

Everyone is saying that Disney+ removed some of the blue from Rise Of Skywalker but the truth is that
@WattoTho
&
@patrickcotnoir
& I did a heist and we stole all that blue and we are gonna use it for our show when it returns
I swear to Grogu, if
@disneyplus
releases The Star Wars Holiday Special in HD while keeping all 39 George-approved episodes of
#StarWarsDetours
on the shelf, I will make Frozen 3 myself and release it on a boat in international waters.
Yes, the aliens just didn't make sense in a franchise that started out with ghosts who melt Nazis and then had an underground Rollercoaster and then a medieval knight shows up for a game of Guess Which Grail, the aliens are just totally too weird a thing to exist in these movies
Thank you to all the Georgie Porgies, who have helped us keep this show going and made such a big difference in rescuing us from the self-inflicted financial calamity that our upcoming Edinburgh adventure is/was!
I will say it again, for emphasis: THANK YOU
📸:
@withreservation
Happy Star Wars Day!
Many Georgie Porgies banded together to make this beautiful tribute/"thank you" video and it is truly a lovely celebration of the positive spirit of the show; I won't spoil any of the many fun details that pop up in the video!
WATCH:
We aren't making GLTS action figures. But we *would* if we figured out a good way to make it happen. So this is purely hypothetical for now.
The obvious first set of 4 would be:
1) Retired Filmmaker George Lucas
2) Sidekick Watto
3) Sidekick Jar-Jar
4) Snacktrick Napsnore
This Thursday is the 3-year anniversary of when GLTS became a livestream show after 6 years as a monthly UCB in-person event.
I think we have done 400+ hours of show (in-person & online) since then, 31 of which were logged in that very first episode.
