Star Wars creator George Lucas mistakenly referred to an award from the NAACP as an "NCAA award" during his Emmy acceptance speech Sunday night. He also predicted last week movie tickets will eventually cost $150.
Lucas won his first Daytime Emmy award for the animated television series, "Star Wars: Clone Wars." In his acceptance speech, he confused the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), TMZ reports.
"This is my first (award), well actually it's not, it's my second," Lucas began, "I just won an NCAA award for best picture with 'Red Tails.' But this is my first Emmy."
Lucas misspoke when mentioning the NAACP Vanguard Award he received for the 2012 film, "Red Tails."
Lucas also predicted last week the price of movie tickets may reach an exorbitant amount, according to ABC News.
"Going to the movies is going to cost you $50, maybe $100, maybe $150," Lucas said on Thursday while on a panel at the University of Southern California.
Director Steven Spielberg, who also attended the panel, agreed but offered a more conservative number.
"You're going to have to pay $25 to see the next 'Ironman,'" he said.
Lucas sold the rights to his Star Wars franchise earlier this year to the Walt Disney Co. "Star Wars: Episode VII" slated for a 2015 release.
