The karma of George Lucas is evidently self-powered if this news is anything to go by – after charging the world to go and see his three sucky Star Wars prequels, George Lucas is atoning by giving a school $175 million.

And not just any school, either – George Lucas has thrown all that money at the University Of Southern California (USC) so that it can build a new film school to teach filmmakers of the future never to use cloying, over-sentimentalised, transparently merchandise-based, lazy racial stereotype aliens in any of their films ever.
