George Lucas does not dwell in the past -- he's more of a forward-looking type. But he ... has created a bit of history during his 35-year career, and as a result, Lucas frequently is asked to revisit the events that got him where he is today: running, under his Lucasfilm umbrella, a network of companies that includes not only Industrial Light + Magic and Skywalker Sound but also the gaming firm LucasArts, the George Lucas Educational Foundation and Lucasfilm Animation, which opened its doors last month in Singapore. Lucas sat down recently with The Hollywood Reporter's Paula Parisi over breakfast at Hotel Bel-Air to reflect on his empire and, more to his current taste, talk about the challenges facing the theatrical-release model and why the industry is missing the boat on digital cinema.
