Why they call him "Master"
Say what you will about Star Wars Episodes I, II and III, I bet G.L. could care less. Georgie Lucas is interested in so many things that it goes beyond merely making movies, he's really interested in remaking an industry.
First TokyoPop starts calling for manga produced by Americans (there's obviously a slight disconnect between US readers and Japanese writers/artists that they are trying to overcome--there must be some unspoken elements of Japanese culture that make manga still alien or uninteresting to US consumers; so instead of changing the format, they're changing the producers) and now George Lucas says he wants to get his "foot into anime." I imagine that animation and manga are going to take off in the US in a big way soon (ie. 3 to 5 years) if both sides of the Pacific are pushing toward each other.
