Of course, George Lucas has generally stayed on the sidelines ever since he cashed in his proverbial chips of ownership and once-definitive creative control over Star Wars for a cool $4 billion Disney-dealt payout back in 2012. While the gravity of such a tribute might be mitigated by the fact that it’s his fourth figure, this particular release commemorates one of his most crucial, pre- Star Wars, achievements: the 50 th anniversary of Lucasfilm. Indeed, Hasbro Toys has revealed a new George Lucas rendition, this one arriving in the 6” scaled Black Series line. Yes, the filmmaking visionary who, with some help, conceived a ubiquitously-dominant film franchise, is set to be immortalized in plastic via the practice that put the Star Wars merchandising machine on the map. Remember George Lucas? He’s back… in figure form!
