I saw the recent Jon Stewart interview with George Lucas and he openly tells a similar story of the business of Hollywood. Lucas had to produce his latest 'Red Tails' almost independently because the execs were uneasy about the fact that it is an all-black film. He goes on saying 'They just don't have any precedent for that type of movie - so it therefore becomes a risk.' There's a little bit about it here: vhttp://www.tampabay.com/blogs/media/content/george-lucas-tel...
but if you get a chance, I recommend the full interview on Comedy Central: http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/mon-january-9-2012...

For some reason Lucas making a film with an all black cast sounds like a horrible, horrible idea.
