What a great interview, thanks!

Can you explain the "taking points" thing? Does it mean Spielberg got the money from Lucas' percentage of Star Wars?

Trellick Tower: I'll provide a response in an update on the post.

Did you see Lucas on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart recently?

I thought it was great; best part was Jon Stewart told Lucas, "My son's favorite movie is The Phantom Menace – and I've explained to him, 'No, it's not!'"

They didn't talk about "Blockbusting" much – Lucas simply joked that he had to go off and write a book just in order to get on Stewart's show – but it looks great.
