Are they holding his insulin from him in order to say this shit?
Didn't Cameron say the same thing about Genisys?
>>63446307
Technically, yes. Boilerplate studio contracts have an anti-slander clause. So if he says anything bad about disney's star wars products, hes in breech of contract, and disney gets all the money back. And he donated it all to charity. So if he breeches the contract, hes 3 billion in debt to disney.
>>63446307
lol
>>63446239
He's saying that it's nothing like real SW.
He's recalibrating the code, warning all surviving fans of the saga to stay away.
For disney to discover the recalibration, a long time it will take.

Ay slashfilm, +1 OP
>>63446307
you can tell how angry he is
>won't executive produce
>says he "really liked it" not "loved it"
>op's quote sounds like a backhanded reference to all the backlash and butthurt he suffered over the prequels
>>63446344
His was much more directly shilling the movie ("This is, in my opinion, a direct sequel to the original movies!").
Lucas is just like "Yeah, it was pretty good, fans are probably gonna like it."
>>63446239
He made the original films as something *he* wanted to make, and he's commenting on how the new film is solely catering to fans.

Translation.

This.
>>63446538
>finally
did you time travel from a decade ago
Over the top action for the lowest common denominator audience. Same as JJ did with Star Trek. A first in a long line of cash-grabs.
I've never been a fan of the series, but I've always loved how chill Lucas seems to be. All I remember is everyone shitting on the prequel movies and him giving a shrug.
So wait, if Lucas liked it, that means it's guaranteed shit, right? Isn't that how Lucas logic works?
>>63446239
>trusting Lucas
>ever
>>63446387
You can tell he's not sincere by him saying its what the 'fans' want. Fans of the OT bitching at him for not making the prequels more like the originals.
>"It's so dense. Every single image has so many things going on."
fucking seriously?
>>63446239
>It’s very much the kind of movie they’ve been looking for.
He hated it
>>63448494
To be fair, the fans were bitching at him because the prequels were terrible, unlike the originals.
>>63446939
Mark Kermode recounted a story once about how he met Lucas and asked him about the response to the prequels, and Lucas told him that he cared less about the story he was telling and more about giving children the characters and toys to create their own stories. Mark seemed to think he was sincere about that.
>>63446556
>prequels
>fun
millenials pls go ree
>>63446239
So basically what he's saying is "they rehashed ANH for you you fucking losers"
>>63446529
fucking piece of shit sellout
i don't understand why this board likes him
>>63448891
Pretty much, it'll be aimed to appeal to OT purists but more than likely fall flat.
>>63448903
He didn't sell out he bought in. At least he has the balls to admit he makes popcorn flicks.
>>63448865
Its millennials you inbred millennial
>>63448941
This exactly what I expected. Its just going to be one giant nostalgiafest. I love the OT, I really do, but I've SEEN the OT. I want something new. I want new content, just not the prequels.
>>63446482
sabisu sabisu desu senpai!
hollywood has turned into the same shit as the anime industry. soon there will be harem flicks made for fat pedophiles.
>>63446344
Yeah but Cameron wasn't taking shots at the tasteless fanbase
LUCAS DID NOTHING WRONG
FUCK OFF REDLETTERKEKS
>>63446307
> Makes his prequels
> full control doesnt give a fuck
> fans hate it
> I-i guess ...Star Wars will have no be normal movies now...
> Here this is what you wanted you fucks
this is what you wanted, right ? RIGHT ? Prequels ware so bad, now you have niggers, female leads, evil white man villains
>>63448830
This surprisingly makes a lot of sense
>>63448997
That's why JJ was hired for episode 7, here's to hoping the rest of the trilogy actually has some imagination and stuff to add.
>>63449247
holy shit you're right. I'm so sorry George.
>>63446395
He signed the contract retard.
>>63449310
you also suck your boss's dick daily, wagekek
i guess that's all fine too
I'd love to be proven wrong and get a classic Star Wars film. But is there a shred of evidence to suggest it will be a classic?
The trailer? There were some neat shots, but lots of shitty films had exciting trailers. Phantom Menace immediately springs to mind.
The writers? JJ has never written a truly great script. I'd argue the closest he came was the breddy gud script for "Regarding Henry", but that was flukey and happened decades ago.
Kasdan wrote two classic films, Empire and Raiders, but he's been in deep freeze (or a Big Chill, as it were) for decades. The last project he worked on was a Diane Keaton weepy flop called "Darling Companion".
The director? Again, JJ has done nothing new, inventive, or enduring in his career. His films have a fun pace and lots of kinetic energy, but they're merely above average for an action director. He doesn't seem to have the genius eye of Spielberg or the imagination of young Lucas.
All in all, you're basing your prediction on nothing more than hope. Which is okay I guess, because I'm hoping too... But I don't expect anything other than a nostalgic, fast-paced romp through the Star Wars universe.
If you're hoping for the magic discovery of A New Hope or the spiritual depth of Empire, I'm afraid you're likely to be disappointed.
Just go in hoping for fun, which is what I'm hoping we get after the dreary death march that was the prequel era.
>>63449408
I'd love for everyone who reposts shit on 4chan to be stabbed in the face.
>>63448997
you'll get something new eventually. first they need to quiet the prequels-induced nerdrage with what you correctly label as a giant nostalgiafest.
I think it was a huge mistake having a self proclaimed "fan" directing this movie. As if he really knows what Star Wars is.
>>63451439
nobody knows what star wars is
>>63446307
>Are they holding his insulin from him in order to say this shit?
Can't you tell how passive aggressive the response is?
>I think the fans are going to love it. It’s very much the kind of movie they’ve been looking for.

Literal autism.
I really really hope they get James Cameron to direct Episode IX to show them how it's really done.
The problem is this movie is going to be talked about only as "whet went wrong".
No matter how good it will be, people are only going to talk about the things they didnt like about it, or in other words, the things that were not "Star Wars".
The first 3 movies established Star Wars. People loved the first 3 movies because there was nothing established, no years and years of previous material from the same universe to compare them to.
The Force Awakens will simply be "this stuff is ok, and this other stuff in the movie THEY GOT WRONG". It's hard to enjoy a movie when this is all people on /tv/ and SW fans in general will talk about.
>>63448830
george sounds like a nice guy
>>63454585for you
>>63451439
I'm fine with a fan directing the movie. Just not a hack.
I'll be happy if Jar Jar proves to be the key to all of it.
It's gonna be great? Its gonna be great
>>63446239
He's basically calling all Star Wars fans plebs.
Masterful.
>>63449643
Calm down hothead
>>63448830
>he cared less about the story he was telling and more about selling a lot of merchandise to children
No suprise. Considering he earned a lot more money with his shitty merchandise than his shitty movie franchise.
>>63454950
there wont be a sequel mention of the prequels
Lucas and his opinions are irrelevant.
>>63449146
Who is that Saiyan in the top right?
>>63446239
>It’s very much the kind of movie they’ve been looking for.
This is so fucking passive aggressive, I love it. He's saying that it's a thinly-veiled remake of the originals, and that seemed to be what the fanbase always wanted.
>>63446556
But the prequels were dull and lifeless.
>>63458499
Sheev seemed like he was having a good time in the prequels
