George Lucas - Officially A Senior Citizen

Here we see George Lucas and his "personal assistant" as they hunt down filmmaker JJ Abrams for making a better Sci-fi action/adventure film than the Star Wars Prequels.

 

Today is George Lucas' birthday.  Happy birthday George!

 

The man who created the greatest film franchise of all time was born on May 14th, 1944 in Modesto, California.  That means that he is turning 65 years old today, which technically means he's just become a senior citizen.  Do you think he'll start asking for the senior discount now when he goes out to eat?  Or maybe now that he's reached the average age of retirement, maybe he'll retire and hand over the reigns of the Star Wars franchise to new people.

 

Somehow I doubt that.

 

In all seriousness though, we here at Geek-tastic wish Mr. Lucas a very happy birthday and we hope he'll be around for many more birthdays to come.
