From a galaxy far, far away ... to a garage?
That's what it seems like. "Star Wars" creator George Lucas told Empire he's retiring from making blockbusters.
Instead, he wants to produce non-commercial "hobby" films in his garage.
"I'm finishing all my obligations and I'm going to retire to my garage with my saw and hammer and build hobby movies," Lucas told Empire. 'I've always wanted to make movies that were more experimental in nature, and not have to worry about them showing in movie theaters."
Hold up. Is this for real?
Lucas has played the "writer cries retire" line many a time before.
He told The New York Times "I'm retiring" in January while promoting film "Red Tails" and made hints at retirement back in 2006 after "Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith" came to theaters.
He's basically becoming the Brett Favre of film.
Currently, Lucas has multiple future projects on his IMDB page including writing for upcoming TV series "Star Wars: Underworld" and "Indiana Jones 5."
We'll believe it when Lucas all but executes order 66.
