Subject: George Lucas 'says world will end in 2012'

Written By: Philip Eno on 01/22/11 at 4:59 am

Star Wars producer George Lucas is said to believe the world will end in 2012.

Lucas apparently made his claims during a meeting with Steven Spielberg and comedian and actor Seth Rogen to discuss a film project.

Rogen told the Toronto Sun that Lucas's seemingly earnest belief in an impending apocalypse left him speechless.

He said: "George Lucas sits down and seriously proceeds to talk for around 25 minutes about how he thinks the world is going to end in the year 2012, like, for real. He thinks it.

"He's going on about the tectonic plates and all the time Spielberg is, like, rolling his eyes, like: "My nerdy friend won't shut up, I'm sorry..."

"I first thought he was joking... and then I totally realised he was serious and then I started thinking: "If you're George Lucas and you actually think the world is going to end in a year, there's no way you haven't built a spaceship for yourself... So I asked him: "Can I have a seat on it?"

"He claimed he didn't have a spaceship, but there's no doubt there's a Millennium Falcon in a garage somewhere with a pilot just waiting to go... It's going to be him and Steven Spielberg and I'll be blown up like the rest of us."

The belief that the world will end in 2012 stems from the belief that the Mayan 'Long Count' calendar, which began in 3114BC, is believed to end on the winter solstice of December 21, 2012.

I don't know, Howard, all those tectonic plates drifting around, and all that china too, and Wedgwood, and Spode.  My goddess, the collision could be mind boggling.  And add to that the fact that there are so many Chinese that the earth is actually out of balance, and the fact that all there new, gigantic cruise ships are displacing sooo much water, we are in real trouble

George Lucas produced 'Howard the Duck' and still stood behind the film even after it became an infamous box office bomb.

If he had faith in that, then the world probably will end lol

Ugh, this has been nestled in the back of my mind for way too long now- ever since my teacher in 10th grade (2002), to be exact, showed us a program about it that was recorded from television. All I have to say is that I can't wait until December 22nd, 2012, so I can finally breathe a nice, large sigh of relief. Or just be dead, either/or.
