Star Wars creator George Lucas has long believed that Hollywood studios were run by untalented and purely business-minded people, and warned people for decades about the controlling nature of studio executives over filmmakers and artists. We revisit some of Lucas's thoughts on the subject, dating back to the 1960s long before Star Wars, as it is quite fitting in today's world with the unions strikes that are happening. 

We also give our thoughts on the news that Donald and Steven Glover will be taking over showrunning the LANDO series!
