George Lucas pledges half his wealth to charity

As much as George Lucas has disappointed me and ticked me off from The Phantom Menace onward, he has done two thing guaranteed to save his soul from perdition.

1. He created the original Star Wars trilogy.

2. He has just pledged half of his vast fortune to charity.

Oh, and he was the executive producer of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Labyrinth. And we can't forget American Graffiti and THX-1138. So, you add all of those great, great things together, and they cancel out the unmitigated horror of Jar-Jar Binks. But just barely.
