George Lucas in Carbonite
Posted by Mark Wilson at 11:45 PM on July 23, 2008
True story: George Lucas owed us some money and he wouldn't pay. So now we have the best office decoration ever. And until Carrie Fisher shows up in a metal choker and a bikini, we're not giving it back. Those are our terms, and before anyone tries anything funny, remember that like half the Gizmodo staff knows karate--or as we call it at the dojo, karaté.

OMG! Ponies!

I would have thought his gut would have gotten caught in the carbon freezing chamber. Nevertheless, this is impressive...
....most impressive.
OMG! Ponies!

Nice shirt George! You could have at least dressed up for Carbonite Freezing Day....

OK, the first thing that went through my head was: "holy crap that is cool!"
The next thing that crossed my mind is "why would the stripes on his shirt show up in carbonite?"
Is that sad?

Will this keep him away from Star Wars so someone else can use the IP and actually make GOOD movies with it?

Okay, so who is going to play Leia and release Lucas and turn to him with adoring eyes and say "someone who loves you"?
Anyone?
Come on guys -- not a single volunteer?

Somebody should have done this after "Howard the Duck" and saved us all the misery of the Star Wars prequels and Indiana Jones nuking the fridge...

You bother to learn Karate instead of buying one of those gut-raping knives? Shame.

So before you guys lock me in carbonite for the buck-two-fiddy I owe you, can you warn me so I dont have that "Oh SH*T they found me!" look on my face?

Let's leave him in carbonite, lest he make another set of horrible Star Wars movies. If Carrie Fisher shows up in her old Leia Slave costume, toss her in the carbonite too. Have you seen her lately? Ugh.

I will pay you money NOT to release George Lucas.
We don't need any more Star Wars remakes, prequels, sequels, special editions, etc.

Let me guess? He was bringing a large bag of X to a giz party and just before the imps, ahem, police pulled him over he had to toss the bag out the window?

Wait. You want to see a 51 year old woman in a metal choker and a bikini? You guys are really not right even if you are into GILFs.

He appears to *almost* have a chin there.

Alright, I'll go along with this. But first, have him sign over power of attorney to me. Ok?

Finally, he's been encased in carbonite! Too bad they're about 10 years too late.

@Monty: I'll do it. I was already entertaining the amusing thought of a candid photo of someone on their knees facing the display...kinda makes that facial expression take on a whole new meaning...

I'm surprised there was enough carbonite to fit over the belly area....
And yes to;
- 10 years too late.
- Natalie Portman in a choker and bikini in lue of Carrie Fisher in said atire.
- And finally, yes, how does plaid leave panel lines?

No offense to Lucas fans but it looks like Georgie took it up the ass right before being carbonited. A bad way to die indeed, and still - hilarious.

He seems to be looking at something to his left... i wonder what it was.

@DaSmith: Oh, he's not dead. Just frozen. The second he thaws he's going to slump to the floor blind and quickly scamper into a corner, back first.
