See if he pulls a bunch of Nimoys.  Retires, then unretires, and repeats ;)

Come on, he retired years ago and has been living off his pension (Star Wars) ever since! ;)

He's actually been retired for many, many years. The "person" we've been seeing is actually a 3D rendering of George! :)
Or, Jar-Jar Binks in a George Lucas costume! :)

What I don't get is how can somebody just retire from filmmaking. You aren't exactly in a steady job. It's project to project. I imagine it's like being unemployed between projects. Someone like him who has money chooses whether he wants to do another or not.

Maybe it's me being young, but I feel like retirement is a stupid concept. I'd feel so pointless in life if I wasn't doing anything.

Shep, I have a deal for you.  You work for me, I'll retire for you.  Just send the paychecks to me.

Well, maybe now he'll turn over the reigns to do more "Star Wars" (live TV series or more movies) to someone else.  George, do you need Joss Whedon's number?  :)

If I had the time. I'm a bit busy with my own ambitions at the moment.
