Famed "Star Wars" creator George Lucas has also said that 2012 will be the end of life as we know it, well, if you believe Seth Rogen. The funnyman recounted a meeting with the director during which Lucas talked “for around 25 minutes” about how “the world is gonna end in the year 2012,” Rogen recalled.“Like, for real. He thinks it.
