George Lucas to Retire

Thought he was already sort of retired, but this might make it official.

The man who made such films as “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” revealed to Empire Magazine that he wants to stop making large-scale blockbuster films in order to focus on new projects.

“I’m moving away from the company,” he said. “I’m moving away from all businesses, I’m finishing all of my obligations and I’m going to retire to my garage with my saw and hammer and build hobby movies.”

“I’ve always wanted to make movies that were more experimental in nature, and not have to worry about them showing in movie theaters,” he added.

Although Lucas currently serves as executive producer for “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” an animated television series on Cartoon Network, don’t expect a new “Star Wars” film to be released any time soon.

“Why would I make any more, when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?” he told the New York Times in January.

But fans of “Indiana Jones” may be in luck—Lucas has not specified whether or not a fifth installment of the popular series is coming.
