Words fail me. From the CBC account of a tribute held in George Lucas’s honor, at which he received the American Film Institute’s lifetime-achievement award:
“Also on hand was William Shatner, who performed a reworked version of the Frank Sinatra song My Way to describe Lucas’ career. The Star Trek actor was accompanied by a chorus line of dancers in white stormtrooper costumes.”
I’m not sure if I hope to see the video, or I hope to go blind–and deaf–first.
