George Lucas Is Now A Disney Legend

Today some actors at D23 Expo were named Disney Legends, including the great George Lucas. George Lucas when accepting the reward, he joked around about how the Disney character Goofy was the inspiration for the most hated character of all in the Star Wars Universe, Jar Jar Binks. Lucas says this:

“I know you’ll look at him differently now,” he said. “It’s pretty obvious. I love Goofy and I love Jar Jar Binks.” He said that Disney gave him inspiration over the years and that he was a fan. He joked that “after all these years of pushing to get more Star Wars and Indiana Jones into the parks” that the only way to do it was, “to get Bob to buy the company.”

Well even though if Goofy was the inspiration for the creation of Jar Jar Binks, many fans still don't accept the character and director J.J Abrams will give many fans a gift about Jar Jar Binks in the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens if that is still going to happen.
