Insert “The Force Is Strong with This One” Joke Here
 |
Now that his day-to-day involvements with Star Wars have ceased, fanboys have begun to ease up on George Lucas a bit. (If you’ve noticed, there hasn’t been much talk of him shattering dreams/raping childhoods/disappointing millions of late). So in this spirit of goodwill, I’d like to extend my sincere congratulations to the bearded one and his beautiful bride Mellody Hobson on the birth of their first child together. From The Huffington Post:
The Huffington Post can announce exclusively that on Friday, August 9, “Star Wars” filmmaker George Lucas and his wife, Ariel Investments president Mellody Hobson, welcomed a daughter into the world.
Everest Hobson Lucas is the first biological child for both parents, but she’s far from an only child. The newborn, who was delivered via surrogate, is a little sister to Lucas’ adopted children, Amanda, 32; Katie, 25; and Jett, 20.
So there you have it. Congrats to everyone all around. And no, there is no word on what lil Everest’s midichlorian count is. Feel free to write your own concepts for Star Wars Babies in the comments.
