Press relase

Lucas Films and Kanye West Productions released a joint press release stating they are producing a line of Movies, Video Games, Clothing Apparel and other multi media endevors based on a new African American themed Space Franchise.

Analysts are saying the success of such movies as Black Panther and Get Out may have been an indicator of this new business partnership.

Mr. Lucas stated, ‘its been something I have been considering since as far back as the 1990’s, we finally have the team to do this the way I had envisioned.’

More details to follow.

Hahahahaha omfg hope this is true would love to see that trainwreck.

I frankly don't know what to think of this.

And what Elon Musk will be doing, sending stuff to space ?

First space opera actually shot in space? Maybe that Tesla roadster is part of it?

In all seriousness, this had a whiff of opportunism and I have yet to be impressed by anything Kanye is involved in but it is evidence that Black Panther has really shaken things up so that's cool.

Umm guys you might want to check your calendar next time

you know what, I'm too **** groggy to make a clever 04/01/2018 joke

so I'm just going to leave this here

I hate this day.

The best thing about this is it kinda makes sense. George Lucas and Kanye seem like two peas in a pod.

For what it’s worth, the overall story/message conveyed is pretty accurate. War machine fights to get his squadron a chance to prove themselves.

but the historical inaccuracies make me want to lock George in his bathroom for 24 hours and have him watch nothing but documentaries and footage of how P-51s/Me-262 weapons work IRL. 30mm rounds do a lot more than leave nickel sized holes in your shoulder. A lot more.(don’t even get me started on the train/destroyer scenes).

Perhaps elon musk is sending kanyae Into space and gorge lucas is directing the video of the coming disaster

Elon musk? I thought that was Seth Mcfarlane.

the sad thing is that George would do something like this. He still thinks Red Tails was good and he’d love to beat Disney at the Black Panther game.

still waiting for the all Asian or all little people sci fi movies George promised us.

I see no reason why Sci-Fi should not have a wider representation of folks who are not white males and that new stories appeal to viewers that also don’t fit that profile.

That said, the prequel does not give me faith in Lucas’ ability to pull this off well. ☹️

I’m all for Kanye going into space on the same trajectory as Elon’s Starman Car, never to be seen or heard again. Take some Kardashians with you Mr. West!
