If the Lucas had a text-to-speech device, episode 3
(the following day)
LI: Good morning, my liege.
GL: Good morning, interchangeable faceless lackey.
LI: Did you sleep well?
GL: Actually, after I rebooted, I found a movie on the internet called Jurassic World. Parts of it made my brain hurt but on the whole I found it a rather inoffensive soft reboot.
LI: Uh-huh.

If the Lucas had a text-to-speech device
In the year 2058, with Disney's Star Wars lying in tattered ruins, one lowly Lucasfilm intern gets the idea to ask George Lucas for help restoring it. Unfortunately, Lucas has long since gone to the Great Big Death Star In The Sky, so the intern does the next best thing, reconstructing an AI out of old Lucas interviews (from before the prequels, naturally).
