From IMDB's Movie/TV News:

Chung Barred From Lucas's Star Wars Bash

Connie Chung and a CNN crew were barred from a press junket on the property of George Lucas's Skywalker Ranch, north of San Rafael, CA after Chung, in a taped introduction to an interview with Lucas that appeared on CNN on May 7, referred to Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace as a "disappointment," then alluded to charges that the Jar Jar Binks character represented racial stereotyping, Electronic Media magazine reported today (Monday). The trade publication's "Insider" column commented: "At CNN, the stance is that Mr. Lucas expected a one-hour love letter and a wet kiss in return for the access CNN was allowed and didn't feel he got that."
