Advanced Photoshop Pictures Contest - 16 image entries Contest Directions:
[ Director George Lucas announced that he's quitting film-making and moves to TV projects. Says Lucas: “We don't want to make movies, we're getting into television. The feature film thing is too expensive and it's too risky. For that same $200 million I can make 50 to 60 two-hour movies.”

Read the above quote again. Read it twice if you have to. Now picture it being said by a film-school loser dropout. Because that's the kind of person that should be saying stuff like that, not a creator of the most beloved blockbusters of all times. Lucas wants to continue the Star Wars saga on television, and is working on a computer animated and a live action series both based in the sci-fi universe.
But something tells me that the low budget "Star Wars Action: Jedi Jedi Bang Bang" isn't going to be Lucas's greatest hit.
In this contest you are asked to create a low budget TV sequel/version of Star Wars (sitcom, series, shows, etc.), or include Star Wars characters into famous series/sitcom and change series/sitcom name accordingly.

He indicated that he believes that making motion pictures today has become a risky venture. He is steering his production company towards making low cost films and television programs.
