Lucas Returning to Digital Animation

deadwood writes "It seems Lucas is creating a Digital Animation studio as a subsidiary of ILM, according to this Yahoo! article.
Lucasfilm Animation is created roughly 17 years after George Lucas sold Pixar to Steve Jobs. I wonder if Episode VII-IX would be a good choice as first projects?"

    I think that in your signature you are making the claim that just as mutants are persecuted in the X-Men universe, Arabs are in our universe. But let's consider the Marvel universe for a moment. Some of the mutants running around loose have vast powers that could end the world quite easily or at least bring forth destruction that could kill many, many people. A single human being cannot kill all the people on a given continent; even leaders with nuclear weapons are given this power by the people around them who support them (in the case of dictators, who have bodyguards that support them) or freely elected officials. Thus, mutant registration and, in the case of mutants with far too much power, Sentinel intervention is not neccescarily a bad thing. I know that in the X-Men universe, the X-Men fight against this and so mutant registration and the ilk are considered bad since the good guys don't like it but think about it a little bit. People aren't generally allowed to walk around a mall with swords or flamethrowers so why should Psylocke, Wolverine, or Pyro be allowed to do the same? You say that because they were born this way, they have no choice and therefore you can't stop them. I say that because they were born this way, I have no choice. It's all about the common good.

    So, bringing this around to Arabs - I'm not proposing a round up BUT systems where immigrants from the Middle East are monitored are not a bad thing. Screening based on race and origin are also not a bad thing. Your signature isn't very verbose about exactly what you mean so this is all I will write for now.
