The front-page cnn.com story raises the possibility of real human clones in the near future. I think Lucas is teaming up with these guys for a new reality TV show, based on human clones taking over the galaxy. Of course, only one clone can become the Emperor - the others having been voted off in a battle of intrigue and deceit. This is just another cheap marketing gimmick, like Taco Bell in Demolition Man but bigger.
Really, though - if you've ever seen an interview with Lucas, it's clear that the guy is a dolt. I loved them as a kid, but even the original 3 movies now seem simplistic good vs. evil fare.

Big publishing houses are just like big record companies. Find a talented person and sell the product of their mind.
Then they turn around and put the screws to consumers, charging like a mother for something they no longer even need to print and distribute!
Mind you, this all takes place over the same public (i.e. by the people, for the people) internet that allows them the freedom to do so.
