There’s one guy in the audience who’s having the time of his life
Reminds me of the YEAH! guy from one of the Eric Andre laugh tracks
Lol its rly cool imo
*YOU ROCK GEORGE*
I'd be the same tbh
And he's extremely annoying and loud. He's the type of person who wants all attention, which is just rude and cringeworthy. If it was up to me, he should be thrown out.
George’s concept of formal attire is a suit over his iconic plumber outfit
Full metal Alchemist
That’s fucken funny haha
When you're that rich you don't have to care what anyone else thinks of you
bwahaha
@@user-ct8my8rv9c You don't have to do it either when you have normal income. Most people do regardless.
Like George said, you literally cannot stump him because whatever he says is canon.
Until Disney bought lucasfilm and gave everything he ever did the middle finger
@@HeathsHarleyQuinn basically lol
@@HeathsHarleyQuinn Nah anything Disney does is fanfic, George is the creator.
Now if only he had the ability to say anything good.
Well, Disney has eliminated much of what he's said in the past as now non-canon.
The guy in the crowd who yelled, "Love you Jewy!!!" LOL
Hearing George talking about Clone Wars before it was out is crazy
John Micheal Kane for sure he did. This was about a year before it was out so rough animation/concept art would be done, possibly more. Plus I'm pretty sure I saw one of Dave's (or George even) first sketches of Ashoka and it had a 2005 date on it. You could probably find it online. The name might not of been given but the character was being created
@@Hockeyhobo89 Yeah her name was Ashla I think
Paul Goodman right, filoni made the character not George but he knew of the character at the time and allowed her to be in the show
@Paul Goodman Ashoka is a fantastic character you bum
@Paul Goodman So, you don’t like “geeky” or “childish” things, and yet you seem have a strong opinion on a Star Wars character. Doesn’t quite add up…
I love how Jordan is only in this for like 7 seconds, but they put him in the thumbnail and title because they knew they would get a million more views…
lol ikr
Proof we are suckers in a variety of ways
@@FOxXyYgRaMpA Oh, I am unashamedly a sucker for Jordan!!!
😜👍🏽
Who’s gonna click on a video about some geezer named George Lucas? But Jordan Schlansky… sign me up!!!!!!!
who is he?
George reciting the name of a background character from 30 years ago is just astounding
Bless this man and his unchanging wardrobe & personality
STAR WARS
45 years ago even. nvm lol of course this way aired 15 years ago.
Has to be staged.
@@nomnom112 He literally made the movie, my guy. It's not unbelievable that he knows everything about it, he approved casting for HIS characters.
They’re not gonna embarrass him on T.V. It was staged.
It’s weird hearing George talk about the clone wars before it was released cause the video quality is so good
I seriously thought this was happening about two or three years back until he said that
Full HD has existed for a long time, bruv.
@@geetargato you say that like most people watched tv on high quality flat screens when really most television in the mid 2000s was played on those heavy and crappy "box" tv's or at most those super early and still heavy flatscreens Even then this crystal clear clip wouldve been pretty fuzzy
@@geetargato there were shows until the mid 2010s that looked like 90s material because HD cameras took a looooooong time to be widely used
They wouldn't get away with "Jew"-bacca these days.
“Jar Jar is the key to all this.”
Mr.Lucas you're a genius 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Key is gayness
Clone Wars 👍
@@ericflames what??
I only clicked because of Jordan Schlansky…
His hair doesn’t get enough noticement. George Lucas has one of the finest heads of hair I have ever seen.
facts! his kids must be enjoying the genetics!
That's just CGI. He may even add some lens flare in the Special Edition of this interview. 🎬
It’s so dense!
@@j.vonhogen9650 hahaha
Take notes trump.
"My employees call me God but my children call me garbage" is actually such a great quote on how relative power & success are
baron papanoida actually appears in the clone wars, and he's pretty badass.
This came out a year before TCW
“My employees calls me God, but my children call me garbage” was pretty funny
GW couldn’t pay me enough to call him God, I tell ya woht m8
pretty relateable to anyone with teens
i think that is a joke made from genuine pain of how much a lot of his audience disliked the films.
I have great respect for George but his sense of humor is pretty cringe. And not in any sort of good way.
no it wasnt, man is a dolt
Jordan Schlansky looking like he's gonna apply for the role of Lucifer
100 🙌
I thought Schlansky was an all oats invention made by the satan allmighty himself in his image so role of Lucifer is perfect for him. It is like in Terminator films but Lucifer sent Schlansky from the future but the plan foiled but Jordan kept his intense interest in Italy. I'm simple advocatus diaboli here just saying.
Oh my, me!
....nah. Simply a suit with no tie.
I’m sick of all the disrespect Lucas gets, this man IS Star Wars. His vision is the same very thing that helped define so many childhoods. Was he perfect? No, but the world will forever know his work and miss him when he’s gone.
yes
What disrespect?
He gave up on starwars when he sold it to disney, he actually cant stand the frnachise or the fans. But he is humble and will answer questions if asked. The franchise has now outgrew him to when he releasead ROTS. He is now happy wherever it goes and he just takes a back seat
He writes god awful romance dialogue and can’t write a female character that’s not just an object to be won by a pretty boy to save his life.
@@bbtbbbbtbb3166 “Somehow, Palpatine has returned” was written by Disney buddy
Hearing him talking about the clone wars and who it’s for really shows how ahead of his time George Lucas is
Dude. Jordan looks like he’s about to storm the Jedi temple and execute Order 66.
He doesn't even need Order 66 he'd do it just cuz he felt like it.
Looks like he is gonna slaughter the men like animals..not just them but the women and children too 🤣
Hearing George talk about Clone Wars was awesome
Listening to him talk about Star Wars, film is always awesome check out some of his other interviews
Meh
Oh you liked that? You enjoyed it? You got a kick out of it?

"The first dramatic animated show."
Batman: The Animated Series: Am I a joke to you?
Or the huge amount of anime which already existed at that point. In the end the show wasn‘t even that dramatic it was still made with kids in mind.
@@Solon All of Star Wars is made for kids. George has said that many times. The subject matter was still dramatic though, especially in the later seasons. Clone Wars is essentially a war drama in space.
to date the greatest batman, and even the greatest joker (despite stiff competition)... and the greatest use of Mark Hamill's talents, of all time.
@@jedinxf7 no argument from me. Great stuff. The definitive representation of Batman
@@josiahp.6960 I can't take any batman voice seriously after Kevin Conroy, it's a real problem
Seeing George Lucas laugh brings warm feelings to my heart.
Anyone else stare at George Lucas’s neck the whole time?
I was waiting for it to inflate.
Very frog like
not until i read this... damn!
Yeah what the hell is going on there
@@eyescreamcake He’s a bit overweight and has a double chin but his stylist shaved his beard in a way that make him look like he has a jaw to hide it.
When George got the question right he should've kicked a lever by his foot, opening a trapdoor below Jordan's feet into a Sarlac pit
Lol, brilliant
Rancor pit. Sarlac didn't have a trapdoor.
@@nicholasmoose6574 This is the kind of comment Jordan would leave
@@falcodarkzz I was thinking that as I typed it.
"You will love it but you will NEVER see it" lol but sadly that`s true for many Star Wars projects.
So sad but true :,( I will continue to dream about Star Wars 1313
6:45 "I love you Jewie!" L O L
Lucas comes off as someone that gives zero shits and I can respect that.
Hollywood's rebel.
He's always so casual, even in the way he dresses
@@kenobisclips7691 being casual shows superiory,one knowing himself/loving/being comfortable with himself,and waiting for no approvals of most people because that person is confidant and knows his/her own worth without being petty and insecure,george shows that characteristic and thats really nice!Being comfortable and relaxed and most importantly george lucas
Lucas is a billionaire
He looks like..the “nerd” U’d call him if he wasn’t famous. Smh, don’t reach so far people
Love hearing George talking about Clone wars knowing how good that show would become
@@alneri8327 wasn’t 1313 a video game?
@@shmavster4209 i think it was, it was also supposed to be a live action tv show. both cancelled
@@jackrutledgegoembel5896 No, there was a live-action show in addition to the 1313 game. Both got cancelled.
@@alneri8327 He literally said it's an animated show. And this was aired in 2007. OBVIOUSLY HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE CLONE WARS!!
@@jackrutledgegoembel5896 It was originally going to be a cartoon animated series. Then they decided to make a CGI animated series instead. That is why he said he wasn't sure what he was going to do with it. They created the cartoon shorts in the beginning to play around with the test audience then they decided to up the budget and make it a CGI animated series after the cartoon shorts were well received.
Everyone should say sorry to this man. We didn’t know what we took for granted
meesa makea big doodoo, howza that for apology?
@@russellwilson9911 the disney stuff is AWFUL. ! was a huge star wars fan before phantom menace came out in theaters. love the prequels. never once did not like them
@@milliondollarmistake Lmfao. Yeah I don’t know what George was smoking when he wrote Jar Jar.
@@sp00f34 Star Wars Episode 7 and Rogue One are both better than Star Wars Episode 2. Yeah I said it. Episode 2 is bad. But I agree that the Sequels are terrible and the Prequels were mostly great. I’d rank them:
Masterpieces:
Episode 5
Episode 6
Episode 3
Episode 4
Good:
Episode 1
Rogue One
Okay:
Episode 7
Bad:
Episode 2
Trash:
Episode 8
Episode 9
i respect the man, but his prequels stil suck
Jordan is like one of those extra super fans and is lucky enough to have a job that allows him the rare opportunity to actually ask questions to the creators of his favorite things that must be big to someone like him, sure he’s the envy of all his nerd friends
You know it's an old video when the crowd doesn't immediately erupt in applause and screams upon hearing "Jordan Schlansky".
I still don't know who he is
@@HeathsHarleyQuinn you must be new here
you can see that by his haircut too lmao that fucking old haircut always kills me when I see it. he used to look like an idiot alien or smth, but now he looks like a champ, a macho manly man jordan lets goooooo
I can't stop looking at Georges mesmerizing neck
I knew i wasnt the only one.
I know wtf he's not that overweight it has to be coke bloat or something
Yeah he's like half turkey
What neck
Thank god i'm not the only one
Lucas: "This is the last shot at this sort of thing" (2:03)
Disney: “If you only knew the power of the dark side.”
I laughed so hard about the guy in the audience. He had the time of his life.
Good for him.
I won't forgive Conan if he doesn't interview Jordan before he retires.
he's not gonna retire he's gonna do something else at hbo max, so perhaps jordan's gonna be on that show too; get their chemistry live on in another show
or at least a special.
I always wished he would've interviewed Joel Godard at some point after the Late Night run.
Yeah it will be his last episode ever, 20 years from now. He will kill Jordan at the very end too. I'm a time traveller.
@@EpiclyYeeted did epstein kill himself?
i hope this means we are going to get a jordan schlansky interview next week
Or it's predicting his death
I'm sure he's preparing his answers in various ways.
@John Micheal Kane not the June 22 guest. That one is TBD
In the finale Schlansky returns to his home planet.
This interview is 10 year old guys. First star wars came out in the 70s, the 30th anniversary was in the early 2000s
Prior to this, the character was only known as “General Motti”.
Perhaps he made the first names up on the spot. Wouldn't even matter.
Admiral Motti. And no.
@@christopherstein2024 he did :D
I'm glad he changed Lukes last name because it gave us Starkiller
"My employees call me god, but my children call me garbage." The man is still a poet.
14 years ago
it rhymes
@@NoahNCopeland got the IRL LOL from me on this one. Nice.
His children see the real him so yeah imma go with his children's point of view.
@@AnakinIHateSandSkywalker agreed.
"i pity the sith"..that was funny..
it really wasn't
George's hair is insane for his age and stress levels
fr the man's head of hair is better than 90% of woman's at this age
Great closed captions! 😆
It’s not getting enough attention that the officer Jordan was talking about is named Conan
"I find your lack of Coke Zero disturbing." -George Lucas
Star Wars.
Username checks out ^
Me in 2007: That TV show sounds stupid
Me in 2021: I'm sorry I doubted you
You in 2023: Refreshing Disney + for the next episode of Ahsoka.
This was pre clonewars!
I remember watching the animated film with my best friends in cinema, and the rest of the series together on CN.
Bloody good times and a fantastic series to grow up with
If George Lucas didn't have a beard - we wouldn't know where his chin was.
but we would know, where the character of Jabba came from
someone had to say it
Very much like Star Wars fans
Actually if he didn’t have a beard we would know where both of his chins were.
all I could see
I need 100% more Jordan Schlansky in my life.
More Cow Bell
That would be 1 more Jordan Schlansky, for a total of 2
It's neat seeing these old interviews in HD
NBC has had HD capabilities since April 1999
This was when he still owned Star Wars and was working on Star Wars the Clone Wars, one of my favorite shows of all time. :(
It feels surreal
3:49 is when Jordan comes and 4:54 is when he leaves. For those 65 seconds, his name has been included in the title :)
This is the most important comment in this video.
Little did Lucas know, that Bib Fortuna would be based off himself, 24 years later.
Oh God
Oh damn
wow
Nice one dude.. but savage!
And Dexter Jettster
the funny addon to this story is that when this interview happened, the Star Wars Novel Death Star was about to release later in october of 2007
This book essentially goes over the history of the death stars construction over 5 years, with a bunch of characters to flesh out life on the station (the best is the guy who fires the Death Stars superlaser, he has Extreme PTSD) and ends with the Death Stars destruction
Anyway in this book they gave a few characters seen on screen full names, one of which was Admiral Motti
He was initially named Zi Motti, which was used throughout the book, and when George made this interview and said "Conan Antonio Mottie" as the canon name, it was MADE CANON, so the book had to change the name in every occurance. the authors ended up misplacing one Zi, which shows up once
Which made his legends name Conan Antonio "Zi" Motti (Zi being a nickname)
and later the Novel Tarkin Canonized his name as Conan Antonio Motti, without a nickname
Conan with Jordan is gold.
Back was Lucas was in control of Star Wars. Now, “it’s going in a different path, that I don’t have control of. But the original 6 are mine” -George Lucas
And he respected the EU even though he doesn't consider it canon, he knew the fans consider it canon.
Original 3

This has to be the best quality youtube from 2007 that exists.
George have me much joy with his stories. All I can say is thank you for the ability for a short while get away from real life and just have fun at the movies.
Thought Jordan was bringing back his OG sideburns until I saw the airdate
Or him saying that he's "going to" make an animated show about the Clone Wars.
Times will never be as good as back then
This was such a great bit
Damn the HD on this one!
Damn, he seems like the coolest guy. Didn't realize it until now.
He donated pretty much all the money he made selling Star Wars to Disney. He’s a great dude.
The guy is like the father of practical and CGI effects in movies. Like if you try to do any research on special effects you usually mostly find references to the old trilogy for practical and prequels when it comes to CGI. Plus he is kind and the guy really cares.
@@AlanJ1993 I have the ur most respect and love for George
@@siphillis That's generous, but he shouldn't have donated it to Disney tho, he could have helped poor people or something.
@@vyovy you misread that. The post said he donated the money he got from Disney to charity
Gotta love the guy who screams "You rock George!" at 4:49 XD
Really? Because I was kind of annoyed by the obnoxious people in the crowd who kept shouting again and again throughout the video. I could just imagine how annoying they must have been to sit near.
@@cloudshad0ws Probably would have been, but I just found it funny because if I sat there and they screamed my name I would just laugh because it's so ridiculous XD
@@cloudshad0ws "My guests tonight on this American Late night show: Two expired cans of diced tomatoes!"
"WHOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!! (thundering applause)"
I love how the content in the title of the video, Jordan Schlansky trying to stump Lucas, plays for about 5 seconds, and 415 seconds is unrelated content.
Little known fact: George Lucas's neck also made a cameo in the Phantom Menace (Boss Nass's neck)
Thanks, I haven't had a Schlansky video in awhile. 👍
Bruce!!!
Haven’t heard from you in a while too…!
That could be a segment in of itself. Jordan just firing off questions until the guest just tells him to quit lol
Dude the captions on this vid are hilarious
He seems so impatient with the nerdy questions. I dig it.

@@Wade_Fucking_Wilson great joke
The Closed captions on this video are Insane
look at Jordans eyes while asking the question...he must have been super stoked for this
4:58 ‘This is where the fun begins.’
Jordan Schlansky is the kind of guy who would know every obscure detail about Star Wars - or rather think he does and fail when put to the test.
And later be like "I knew that!" after being told the real answer
I know that today shlansky looks like someone’s strict dad. But you gotta give him credit- he was a handsome son of a gun when he was younger.
The hecklers “GO ON GEORGE!” 😂😂😂
I love how Jordan has played a character all this time, which is basically himself. You can clearly see the passion in his eyes whenever he speaks about something profound to him. And every time Conan had something to mock about his passionate and at the same time robotic manner, i think Jordan just reacts however he used to when people used to treat him but not as part of just a sketch comedy. He has learnt to not be shaped by the opinions of others. A man who honors his uniqueness. And that's what makes him an awkwardly cool guy. The contrast him and Conan have been presenting us really means a lot to me, for me the skits have shown us two person seeing life through different eyes, one(Jordan) who has always been in the pursuit of intensity and the ultimate meaning to life, and the other (Conan) exhibiting us a person who has accepted the social prepositions as it is and because back in time, his world has never been accepted and valued by others, so he got used to enjoying life as superficially as he can. You have presented us this sociological and psychological concept in a really enjoyable comedic way. And all of them are golden to me. Thanks a lot Team Coco!
Jordan, is that you?
No one cares.
