| Quote: Director George Lucas says it took 20 years to get his latest film made, "because it's an all-black movie". Speaking on The Daily Show, Lucas said he had to self-fund Red Tails, the true story of a group of African-American pilots who fought in World War II. | |

A serious amount of cash used to self-fund the film too:
| | |
| Quote: Lucas put $58 million (37.8 million) of his own money into the movie. It will be released by his company Lucasfilm, and distributed by Twentieth Century Fox. He is putting a further $35 million (£22.8 million) towards the distribution costs, said trade paper The Hollywood Reporter. | |

Uh oh:
| | |
| Quote: If his film does well at the box office, Lucas said he had a prequel and sequel planned. | |
