>It seems fandom's obsession with “Star Wars” forced George Lucas off the web.
>In a lengthy new Washington Post profile of the creator of the “Star Wars” saga, Lucas said that since 2000, he’s avoided the internet and all its trappings like Facebook, Twitter, even email.
>A large part of this has to do with the constant ridicule he’s received since making the “Star Wars” prequels from 1999-2005. Though they were huge box-office draws, most fans thought they couldn’t hold a candle to the original trilogy.
>“It was fine before the internet... But now... it’s gotten very vicious and very personal. You just say, ‘Why do I need to do this?’”
>In the Post story, Lucas also chimed in on the decades-long debated question: Did Han Solo shoot first in the Mos Eisley cantina?
>Since “A New Hope” came out in 1977, many have argued about if it was Solo or Greedo, one of Jabba the Hut’s henchmen searching for Solo, who shot first in their famous faceoff.
>That can now be put to rest by Lucas' answer.
>“I was thinking mythologically — should he be a cowboy, should he be John Wayne? And I said, ‘Yeah, he should be John Wayne.’ And when you’re John Wayne, you don’t shoot people [first] — you let them have the first shot. It’s a mythological reality that we hope our society pays attention to," he said.

The fuck is he talking about? Why would you let somebody shoot you first if you can stop them? Dumb as shit
>>63192095
Why the fuck would you not use email? That's the most autistic thing i've ever heard. Imagine how hard it must be to do a project with this jackass when he refuses to make an email.
>>63192787
Because Lucas thinks Han Solo is an honorable man, but in reality the whole character arc of Solo is from a guy who gives zero fucks about honor to a hero, so it makes a lot of sense that he shoots first.
>>63192787
He buys into that pre-Napoleonic code of conduct among Western armies, whereby each side alternates in taking turns. It's something which only exists today among RPG games. On an individual basis of course, it has no meaning, and a smuggler can't be expected to maintain that standard of conduct.

Lucas is such an egotistical, self-obsessed fuckwad.
Since being turned down by Disney the only things he's ever said are along the lines of "H-HA I DIDN'T WANT IT ANYWAY, WHO NEEDS STAR WARS? I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF THE PREQUELS LOL"
He's clearly absolutely shitter-shattered and I'm willing to bet it's at the forefront of his thoughts every single day.

>when you’re John Wayne, you don’t shoot people [first]
what fresh bullshit is this? han shot first because lucas wanted him to be a pulp adventure badass but then years later lucas had kids and became more domesticated so he retconed it for a more "heroic" way. there is no mythological mystery
The JJ Abrams films are going to be so fucking awful that it is going to make his abortions of filmmaking look like Citizen Kane but they are going to have to keep Abrams on because of Jew hollywood politics and the 6 million shekels.
Basically this is going to be really fucking hilarious for the next few years.
If you think the internet is bad George wait until you see what they do to your franchise
AYY LMAO
The Prequels are the gifts that keep on giving, that he still defends them vehemently to this day and casts blame on everyone but himself.

Man what a bitching crybaby.
This is like closing the tab fter getting demolished in an argument but he did it for the entire internet.

why can't he just admit he's wrong?
>protecting your ego this hard
Somehow even worse than your average LoL player
>>63192962
Long before Lucas became obsessed with film making, he wanted to be a race-car driver, and he spent most of his high school years racing on the underground circuit at fairgrounds and hanging out at garages
please lucas was a fucking grease head fucking skanky hoes all day
>And when you’re John Wayne, you don’t shoot people [first] — you let them have the first shot.
John Wayne didn't let people execute him for no reason, Greedo was pointing a gun at him almost point blank, letting him take the first shot is letting him take the only shot.
>>63192095
>“I was thinking mythologically — should he be a cowboy, should he be John Wayne?

Then why did you make Han the only one who shot you retard?
>>63192095
>And when you’re John Wayne, you don’t shoot people [first] — you let them have the first shot.
Yeah, like when he shot Liberty Valance.

If you put yourself in his position, you can really see he has a point.
I'm a artist, and I appreciate constructive criticism of my artwork, but attacking me personally over artwork I created makes no sense. I have seen people calling George Lucas every possible bad thing they can think of on the internet because of the Prequels.... its to the point were people enjoy it.
It feels like the internet is a release for a lot of people who feel forced into acting nice when they go outside and interact with people in real life, and then when they get home and get on their computer, they can be as mean as they want because their are no consequences like their is in real life.
I can see how people would say "Lucas should have a thicker skin to internet criticism", but how is attacking the guy personally justified? Like I said, constructive criticism I can see a justification for, but attacking Lucas personally over his film work says more about the problems of the attacker than it does the problems with George Lucas.
>>63193118
Yes, I'm sure the world famous billionaire who's directed four of the all time highest grossing movies is devastated that a small group of nerds on the internet didn't like three of them
>>63195999
George Lucas is a talentless one-hit wonder that thought remaking the original trilogy beyond recognition is ok to do.
At some point someone has got to tell him that he's a retard and should leave film making alone for a while.

>>63196163
How does that have anything to do with Lucas?
Things like that are the work of (non-canon) EU writers.
>>63196189
>>I dont listen to people who say Im wrong
Lucas didn't say that at all. He is not listening to the people who attack him personally... why would you listen to someone who attacks you personally when the movies are where the criticism should be made??
>>63196256
Lucas out him into the original films, watch the video
>>63195600
The point is, there's plenty of John Wayne films where John Wayne shoots first, and George Lucas doesn't know shit about what he's talking about, even movies besides Star Wars.
Is it safe to say that George was broken a little bit when the workload from Star Wars caused him to get ccuked during his first marriage? Would an event like that cause him to care less about the franchise except for the potential profits? Supposedly, he was going to dive into a sequel trilogy almost right after ROTJ, if this hadn't happened
>>63195251
Being completely realistic here, if he even saw them he'd probably glance at them and assume it was from some legitimate fans and have an assistant send back a form letter thanking you for your love of Star Wars.
>>63196312
Yeah, but Lucas didn't come up with his name, or the word "Jizz" as a music genre. That's all EU (not canon).
>nerds threatening a mans life for making a couple shitty movies that didn't live up to slightly less shitty movies
probably gamergaters
>>63192147
>>63196367
Lucas was already wrestling power totally in his favour by ROTJ, a sequel trilogy afterwards would have been shit
Lucas always cries that Star Wars means he couldn't make other films, but it's complete bullshit. He's spent many, many years doing fuck all or mindlessly cashing in on SW/Indiana
Jesus Christ, Lucas is worth like 2 billion dollars. Nut the fuck up.
So Lucas basically wants a hug box where no one challenges him and no one tells him his terrible ideas are terrible.
That's fucking why the prequels were so bad.
>>63194958
But he shot Liberty Valance because Liberty was about to shoot James Stewart.
>>63196775
Actually George Lucas is way better than these safe space faggots. He doesn't wanna be ridiculed or criticized, so instead of making a safe space on the Internet or forcing websites to enact rules, he just doesn't go on the internet
>>63197055
No, he does exactly the same. He literally did the exact same when it came to making the prequels too, he removes anybody who challenges or disagrees with him and takes nothing on board
Han Solo was never John Wayne, he was Humphrey Bogart.

>>63197443

Hurr I'm a typurr
>>63197445
Because he's a liar.
Everybody knows he changed it because he was scared Han shooting first might scare away kids from buying Han Solo figures when he released the special editions.
Now he just covers his ass.
>>63192867
This.
If you watch A New Hope again, Han just comes off as a huge bullshitter. The "she did the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs" comes off more like he's just saying made up shit to secure Obi-wan and Luke's business (and charge a premium).
The Falcon was a piece of shit that broke down constantly and Solo was a shitty smuggler who dropped his cargo at the sight of the first Imperial cruiser.
He was a piece of shit scumbag (albeit a charasmatic one) who turned himself around with the Rebellion.

>The "she did the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs" comes off more like he's just saying made up shit to secure Obi-wan and Luke's business (and charge a premium).
This is always what I thought too, but by the time of Empire + Jedi the Falcon was so popular he decided to make it actually be some supership
>>63197554
The Falcon still failed to get into hyperspace several times in Empire. I think by RotJ it became a supership (along with everyone being a goddamn General).
The worst part was that people felt compelled to trust Han and come up with some assbackwards explanation as to how it could complete the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs of movement
Holy shit, what a piece of shit fluff piece
fuck George Lucas and fuck that writer for not even challenging Lucas' ideas on any level
>>63197663
>Challenge George Lucas
>He just walks out
George has never been able to handle being criticised or confronted
>>63197700
I mean, obviously not in the interview itself because George would throw a fit, but stuff like
>George has always defend an artist's right to change their own movie
when anyone worth their salt knows he was adamantly against it until he got the right to change "his" movies.
Using the internet is literally Reddit: The Hobby

>>63197514
Should have just cut the scene out.
Adding in the Jabba scene is totally redundant. We learn nothing we haven't learnt from the greedo scene. It serves no narrative purpose.
Cut the greedo scene and keep the Jabba scene and now we the audience learn Han is in trouble and owes money and we don't have any repetition.
I hope someones mailed him a copy of the prequel reviews to watch offline at least
>>63197737
Fair enough, I agree
>>63197518
Obi-wans reaction to the 12 parsecs line shows its bullshit and he knows it and we are to take it as bullshit and know he knows it
>>63197769
danb you're a better lucas than lucas is, bravo
>>63197769
The Jabba scene doesn't fucking jive with the character we see in Jedi though. He's cheerful and sees Han as a great buddy. He's reasonable and friendly. The scene was originally filmed with a stand-in, who was a fat Irish guy. Hutt was a title, not a race.
Then Jedi comes along and he's a psycho space slug who flies off the handle and murders his dancer when she won't suck his dick
Han Solo = Fred C. Dobbs (Humphrey Bogart)
Chewbacca = Bob Curtin (Tim Holt)
Obi Wan = Howard (Walter Huston)
except Han finds redemption instead of ending up like Bogart
>>63197796
I love how the EU made the Kessel Run a literal measure of distance traveling around black holes
Just like how "always two there are" was turned into there are literally only two Sith at once and "the jedi protected the republic for a thousand generations" literally became "the republic has existed for 25,000 years"
the EU is so fucking dumb

>>63197851
Maybe I dunno
I'm just talking about the two scenes as far narrative goes. So you don't need to worry about anything from later films just take the scenes and the film on their own.
Having the two is repetitive. One has to go. If Lucas doesn't like Han shooting first and has his heart set on Jabba in it then the greedo scene should go and Jabba scene stay
Narrative is restored, no repetition.
Its the same with all the useless scenes that were in the start of the film of Luke fucking around on the farm and whining and playing with his friends before meeting the droids
Useless
So Marcia cut them
>>63198066
No you idiot its fucking Rain Man
>>63198185
I know what you meant, I'm just saying that the Jabba scene is fucking terrible on every single level. It's redundant in a narrative purpose and it doesn't jive with the Jabba the Hutt we see in RotJ.
George just doesn't understand the movies
>>63197907
Everyone says that Guinness was professional and friendly as fuck while making the movie, and he acted like he was having a good time.
He just began to retroactively hate Star Wars because it was all he was known for in the later stages of his life. He wanted to be remember for Bridge on the River Kwai and Laurence of Arabia, not Star Wars. He was part of the old guard of classically trained British actors who hated sci-fi before we got people like Patrick Stewart who embraced it
>>63198252
My complaint is that its redundant in the films narrative just as you said!
As for jiving with Jedi that's another problem

They're just movies. Seriously, they're only movies. I love Star Wars, but I really don't give a fuck since they're just movies.
Don't like the prequels? Don't watch them. I don't watch them. Want unaltered cuts of the original trilogy? There are a shitload of old VHS copies of the movies pre-special editions or blu-ray meddling. Hell, there's even a fan project to remove the edits made in subsequent releases as best as they can.
Just let go.

>>63198541
I think there was a plan to put some sort of stop motion creature over the guy Han meets but it didnt work
>>63197518
Yeah this is exactly the impression I got. When Han says "You never heard of the Millenium Falcon?" and gets blank stares it's obvious he's just bigging himself up and is really a two bit smuggler. Leia even calls the ship a piece of junk when she sees it.
But obviously the fans liked it so it got mythologized into being an amazing ship.

before the internet son there were a thing called magazines. not books because it's doubtful your kind read books with that 'source' shit every ten seconds. but before all this text based shit there was a thing called magazines. used to read everything about star wars and george lucas. then i read some where that George was an outcast who preferred racing over people until he almost died. George was the cool hip kid who always had a fast car zooming up and down the road, going nowhere at a 100 miles per hour. So it's no surprise he scored mad vagina.

How do you think the other super rich people feel about always having to fuck about with other forms of communication?
>>63200658
he go a ton of vitriol spat his way during and after the prequels
I don't blame him. he went from a beloved figure to a derided one.
he finally got the executive control he had desired his entire career, and everybody shat on the results. in a sense, he became so powerful, the only thing that he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually of course he did.
and I know we mock the shit out of McCallum, but even the prequels draw so much from myth and literature to have a level of depth that equals most fantasy films
yeah, the dialogue is often clumsy and stilted, but jesus christ it's like you guys never watched the originals

Oh so we're not allowed to have an opinion? We're not allowed to say that a movie is shit when it IS shit? Lucas needs to learn that none of the criticisms of his work as a director are personal and should actually learn to accept criticism rather than retreat from all social media into a hugbox. If you can't realize that, then you can go eat a batch of dick flavored cupcakes.

Bill Murray has missed out on dozens of offers for roles because he's almost impossible to contact. He doesn't have an agent and rarely checks his voicemail.
>>63194117
Abrams is going to gut Star Wars of any soul it has left
>>63202879
is he autistic?
>>63202922
Then how does he get roles?
>>63203018
either they know a close personal friend of his or they hunt him down at one of his charity golf tournaments

You just answered your own question.
>making George Lucas avoid the internet due to children's films.
>bullying child actoir Jake Lloyd because of children's movies
>sending death threats to a woman on twitter because of children's movies
Star Wars fans really ARE massive manchildren crybabies.

>(Murray) has no agent and manager, as everyone knows. You just call the 1-800 number.
>I started calling once a week, and then sometimes once every two weeks so I didn't annoy him. He never called back. I finally called his lawyer and said, 'I'm trying reach Bill.' And he goes, 'What number do you got?' And I go, 'I've got the 800 number.' And he goes, 'Well that's what I got.'
>(The lawyer suggests Melfi write Murray a snail mail letter.) A 'Dear Bill' letter. To a post office box back in New York. Two weeks later, (Murray) calls his attorney and goes, 'OK the letter was swell. I'd like to read the script. Have him snail mail a script.' To another post office box on Martha's Vineyard. Bill is a nomad. He's never in one place for long.
>"And so we snail-mailed a script. Bill calls two weeks later, he picks up the phone and calls my producer's assistant (who is flabbergasted) and says, 'I never got that script.' So we Fed Ex the script to a place in North Carolina. Two or three weeks after that, driving down the road I'm in the middle of a commercial job and my phone rings and he goes, 'Ted? It's Bill Murray. Is this a good time?'
>I pull over and he goes, 'Listen, I got this script of yours and I don't know who you are. I don't Google people. I don't know who you are, what you do. Tell me about yourself.' So that was 20 minutes of me stammering around trying to tell Bill Murray who I am. And he goes, 'Well, that sounds good.'
>Melfi laughs. "'I say, 'No I can't get to Cannes Friday, Bill, I'd have to leave today.' He goes, 'Oh, well, you know it's going to be a good time.' But don't worry about it, we'll connect later. I'll call you in a couple of weeks.'
>I say, 'Bill, is there a better number for you, anything –' He goes, 'No no, you've got the number.' (The call ended and Murray disappeared.)
>>63203323
>"We pull into this house and he tours me around. He's got tangelo trees and avocado growing next door. I used the bathroom. I go back outside and he goes, 'Alright, this is great. Do you think we should do it?' (Melfi says he'd love to.) He goes, 'OK, we're gonna do it. We'll make the movie.' I said, 'That's so great Bill, just one thing, if you could do one thing for me. Could you tell someone other than me that this happened?
>No one is going to believe this story.
> I can't possibly go to the studio and say Bill Murray said yes on the way to the Indian reservation in the back of a town car. Murray said, 'I'll call someone, don't worry about it.' "
>No matter where he is, and no matter the time of day, Murray’s best friend Mitch Glazer will often pick up the phone to hear the following words: "Hi, Kelly’s having sex with Patrick Swayze right now." Glazer is married to the actress Kelly Lynch, who was ravished against a wall by Swayze in the late-night TV staple Road House. Whenever he stumbles across it, Lynch told AV Club last year, Murray waits for that scene and calls his friend. Or, if Murray himself is unavailable, one of his brothers will call instead. ‘It was funny the first dozen or so times,’ Glazer lamented recently.

I would have been ok with this.
Of course not, he's 70 years old. No one that age sits around posting on facebook and twitter all day.
>>63203846
But if Kurt got cast as Han Solo, we probably wouldn't have gotten classics like Escape From New York, The Thing, and Big Trouble in Little China
>>63204039
Yeah, that would suck.

Fuck George. I get where he's coming from, but a guy who shoots first to save his skin makes for a more interesting hero when you throw him in with an altruistic boy.
>>63198681
because americans. star wars is pure, unadulterated garbage.

>Since “A New Hope” came out in 1977, many have argued about if it was Solo or Greedo, one of Jabba the Hut’s henchmen searching for Solo, who shot first in their famous faceoff.
>argued
Kind of hard to argue against Han not shooting first when it was clear as day. Well, it isn't that he shot first. You see, Greedo didn't shoot at all. Han just shot him dead and that was it. Han was the only shooter.
>>63203877
You're kidding right? Old people eat that stuff up. It is the best way to keep in touch with their kids and grandkids. It is more interaction with family than most people get.

This.
He has every right to do so
People are way too critical towards him on the Prequels
They aren't even that bad, they were groundbreaking in terms of special effects at the time.
If you actually look into them, there's talent and deep layers of complicated themes. Many missed the point. I'll admit theyre not as good as I wanted them to be but fanboys just wanted the same old shit and it looks like Disney is giving them that. He just wanted to make movies but all nerds did was bitch on the internet about me.
>>63192365
It's a prank! It's just a prank, bro!
>>63192146
I wonder how many times you'll post in this thread saying that was just a troll post.
>>63192095
Can't blame him
>>63197407
Are you criticizing that decision? Because it's a good decision.
>>63203165
Not distinctive enough to be made fun of or praised too heavily. You gotta either stylize the shit out of it or nail your fundamentals down a little harder.
What the fuck is this webm from? Has Lucas lost it?
>>63203709
Wasn't that similar with Blade Runner? Like they wanted people like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Di Niro and Clint Eastwood to play Deckard, but then they settled with Ford.
>>63192146
>>63205785
It's from a behind the scenes clip on the Robot Chicken Star Wars DVD. it's clearly a joke, Seth Green has said George was very open and helpful to the crew. He even has played himself in sketches
I'm really disappointed Star Wars detours is never gonna see the light of day

Many keks.
>>63192095
>Since “A New Hope” came out in 1977, many have argued about if it was Solo or Greedo
There is no fucking argument. It was filmed with Solo shooting first so Solo shot first.
How the fuck is this even a fucking argument?
>>63197514
Why would Han shooting first hurt toy sales? Kids don't give a fuck about shit like that. Han blasting that green alien guy with a badass laser gun is what they care about, not who shot first
>>63202879
Yes you're allowed to have an opinion, but when you get to /pol/ levels of spouting it off at EVERY DAMN SECOND of EVERY YEAR for THE PAST DECADE AND A HALF you find it relevant, we shall mock you for you are /worse/ than Lucas for the fact that at least he had the courtesy to move on and sell Starwars when he found out he couldn't continue it to appropriate standards. More people have moved on from 9/11 then you plebs have from the Prequel fiasco, and that's sad.
You deserve Jbrams shoving Boygeta down your cock and explicitly keeping the prequels canon because deep down he thinks you're faggots as well.
>>63197110
It was his own production. He put up all the money, he can hire or fire anyone he wants. He didn't try to get people who criticized or attacked him personally to be silenced, he just didn't pay them any attention. You know, like an adult.
>>63192095
Wow.
He's really trying to damage control how butthurt RLM made him. So butthurt that he just sold everything to Disney.

that Lucas is entirely responsible for how much better the originals were in the first place to be hilarious.

And then this happened and it's canon

DUDE HES JUST LIKE US LMAO, yay reddit
i really want to sit down and watch all of the star wars movies again to prime myself for TFA, but the prequels are so fucking horrible that i simply can't do it. it's really disappointing. episodes 1 and 2 are a fucking joke. i literally can't watch them
great job lucas, you fucking bimbo

THATS BULLSHIT BUT I BELIEVE IT
>>63209383
That the kessel run was made through a series of black holes, and skill in doing it was measured in how short a distance through the intertwining gravity wells had been taken.
All in all it's not even top 100 of the dumbest alterations or expositions made in the EU.
