From Entertainment Weekly issue #820, the May 20, 2005 edition.

Writer Jeff Jensen reports about Celebration III George Lucas Q&A sessions thusly:

...The last chance at a question goes to a boy who just says a heartfelt "Thank you." The kid scampers up on stage for an impromptu photo with Lucas, who then leaves to a standing ovation...

... there are cracks in the facade. Like the emotional conclusion to Lucas' third Q&A session, in which the "Thank you" boy repeated his "Thank you" moment and was hauled up again for pictures with Lucas. Though who witnessed it both times found it rather suspicious. Ironically, they probably shouldn't have seen it twice.

Well, actually, they were two different children. The first, Tyler, was dressed in Jedi robes. The second, whose name I never got, was dressed in a dark blue windbreaker type jacket with yellow piping on his sleeves. He stood taller than Tyler.

But such facts would get in the way of the particular story the writer wanted to tell. GIven the sheer number of flashbulbs going off during the presentations -- I mean, these were photo ops, after all -- you'd think someone would have gone to the effort of comparing photos of kid #1 and kid #2.

But no one bothered to check the facts. And instead, a dubious assumption was printed as fact to cynically paint over what was actually a sincere moment.
