Words fail me at how amusing this all is.

I love the utter dispassion that Lucas is desperately fighting to keep up, and Cobert's breaks in character.

I'm sure it'll be up on Youtube in like half an hour, if the first bit isn't already, so if you didn't watch it on Comedy Central, go look it up and give it a watch.

Care to give us a link, or at least say what he said?

Well, I've been waiting for the video to be uploaded so I could link to it, but since it doesn't appear to yet be up, I'll do my best to explain.

Colbert has been having a green screen challenge, in which one takes some footage of Colbert making a fool out of himself with a lightsaber and edit in a scenario. Tonight he announced two finalists, Bonnie, and "George L" who unsurprisingly turned out to be Lucas.

They then showed his entry into the challenge, which was the Invisible Hand landing with Colbert added in, along with the droids basically going "Holy crap, what is this guy thinking?". After he chops them up, Jarjar walks up and asks "So, now that you've saved the republic, who's gonna represent us now that that bratty kid who used to be an ace, you know, Darth- W- Vader joined the empire?". Colbert responded in mock Jarjar "meesa" speak, to which Jarjar responds "Whosa talks like that? I mean really!"

Then came the interview, in which it was obvious both Colbert and Lucas are trying very hardly not to break into a giggle fit as Colbert asks Lucas the most inane questions such as "You're a big fan of star wars, huh?" "How long you been a fan" "Do you own them all", etc. etc.
At the end they had a lightsaber fight with each other.

It will be on all tommorow if it's not on the internet by then.

I loved the entire interview. That is all I can think to say.

I think the best part is that George.L aint so sure if he's seen Episode 1 ...

If memory serves he's not so sure he owns Episode 1. Subtle hint at ambiguities as to who holds the rights to TPM, perhaps (just speculating)?

TFM? The Fantom Menace, Batman? But yeah, the subtle plays were the best part. "Did you make this yourself?" "A few friends helped me"

I have no idea what you're talking about. :P
And it's not like P and F are even close together on the keyboard.
Shut up you.

Where would Colbert be on your Jedi/Sith power rankings? :wink:

...aaand it's on Youtube.

Random Colbert Quote of the Day: "Nobody expects dinosaurs in SPACE!"

Also, George Lucas in the Tek Jansen Adventures.

Right below Lucas.

That's one of the things I find greatest about his appearance. Lucas and Colbert having a lightsaber fight to close out the show.
