It's this the same chart that used to track the number of /. posts claiming George Lucas is ruining Star Wars/ripping people off/?

  After 1981, George Lucas was abducted by walrus-like aliens called Walrothians and replaced with a look-alike.
  
  This was done because the Grand Walrothian Overlord had made a big-money deal with George Lucas to create a fictitious image of aliens, so that the Walrothians could continue to abduct people and transform them into Walroth Serfs and take over the universe.
  
  Lucas decided to go against the deal with the release of Return of the Jedi in 1981 and paid the ultimate price. A look-alike released The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones which continue to portray the Walrothians as benevolent people, when in reality they are sadistic evil scum who will eventually destroy the planet.
