'Spider-Man 3' Just Plain 'Silly,' George Lucas Says

George Lucas, the mastermind behind that production studio as well as being the creator of the Star Wars franchise recently had a few choice words to say about this past week's top movie, "Spider-Man 3."

"It's silly," Lucas said, according to Fox News. "It's a silly movie. There just isn't much there. Once you take it all apart, there's not much story, is there?"

Lucas, of course, admits that some critics said the same about Star Wars, but to him, there was definitely a difference, at least in an attempt to be humorous.

"People thought Star Wars was silly, too, but it wasn't," he said.

In some real news, however, Lucas said that he's not yet ready to retire from the world of Star Wars. In fact, he has two live-actioned telemovies rumbling around in his mind which, like many of the games and books based on the massive franchise, will take a big step away from what apppeared in the first six movies.

"They won't have members of the Skywalker family as characters," Lucas said. "They will be [of] other people of that milieu."

There is no word on what network would take on the project, but it will sure be a fight among all of them. No word, however, if this would tie in to any potential series, or if they would simply stand alone.
