Say what you want about him, but at least he had a creative imagination and was able to come up with new interesting and unique concepts. People trashed things like midichlorians, jar jar, and podracing, but at least they were completely new ideas, not just the exact same plot rehashed. Basically Lucas is the ultimate "ideas guy", he is a factory that pumps out ideas, some great, some terrible. He just sucks at filtering out the bad ideas from the good ones, and is bad in execution. When he has someone to tell him which ideas are good and which are bad, as well as assist in directing, he can produce a masterpiece. When he's all alone with no assistance, is a confused mess. Nevertheless, its still more talent than someone who just rehashes the LITERAL EXACT SAME CONCEPT.

I agree. Lucas is an inconsistent visionary, and Abrams is a talentless hack.

It's not he's too stubborn, its that he became too rich and powerful, and just like any dictator, became surrounded by yes-men like Rick McCallum who just suck his dick at every turn and reaffirm his notion that his ideas are brilliant. They don't want to stand up to him and challenge his ideas , cause they are just there for a paycheck and don't care if the movie is shit.

This is literally JUST the type of rehash I was expecting, it's nothing but a glib facsimile.

If Star Wars was all I had access to as a child in terms of sci-fi I probably would become one of those crazy fanboys, but thankfully I had access to anime from very early on in my youth years that my mental balance is very stable.

Seriously, if you have watched Akira, you'd realize just how sophisticated anime is and it blows away anything Star Wars would have to offer.

A lot of people mention Ghost In The Shell, which has just enough of sexuality in the mix to draw in the western audience I suppose but I must say that Ghost In The Shell is not even in my top 10 anime, not even close, that's just how deep the world of anime is.

Some anime is so disturbingly mature like Fractale that I wish it would challenge the system and submit it as a Drama category in the Oscars just to bitchslap the snotty Academy.

It's not just the level of maturity and sophistication anime has, it's also quite original, entertaining, and visually fantastic. I would regard anime as the highest form of cinema art-form.

But hey, me preaching about anime won't do you any good, you gotta go out and see it for yourself just how much you are missing.

The recent one I would recommend to check out is Sword Art Online which is light and easy to get into anime for the first time yet appreciate it as much, but if you want the heavy stuff right off the line check out Guilty Crown in which the plot is so complex and twisted that you'll need extra oxygen pumped into your brain in order to comprehend everything, and if you want amazing visuals and a gripping drama that also has awesome mecha battles Aldnoah.Zero is the shit.

Seriously, if you know anime like I do, Star Wars looks like it's something for little children

I'm willing to bet that Disey actually dictated to Abrams quite heavily on this latest film. It is for the fans, but at least someone had the guts to make it.

Now they can go in a more creative direction when this under performs. I hope they borrow heavily from Zahn.

No, he wants to do his film. It's not their film, it's not their ideas. He is the sole author of his films and has every right to put in whatever idea he wants. Nobody should interfere with the artists works or his decisions.

At least when Lucas was making them, you never knew what you were going to get.

Am I going to get a movie about a political dispute over taxes starring a racist rabbit and an enslaved child who races space go-karts?
Am I going to get a noir detective pastiche starring a space samurai and his sand-hating partner that culminates in gladiatorial combat?
Am I going to get an homage to Triumph of the Will and '40s newsreels featuring a lovestruck teenager who massacres a bunch of children?

You never knew, stepping into the theater. I'd watch a million new prequels made by George just to see what crazy ideas Lucas came up with and horribly failed to smoothly incorporate into the script. They'd be a horrible viewing experience unlike anything that ever came before

Meanwhile, J.J. Abrams made a movie that we've already seen once before. Not unique in the slightest. What a hack!

so you're saying the new star wars introducced nothing new to the lore and merely "rehashed" concepts from an already established universe and that he actually created nothing original?
>>
>>63731433
The problem with Lucas is he can't stick with a thought. He changes his mind about everything. Read the scripts for Star Wars each draft wasn't refining the idea it was just a new idea each time and finally he went... Yeah I'll film this. This is why he could never leave shit alone
>>
>>63731975
I think he eventually realized that.

Remember that story about them wanting to give Starkiller from Force Unleashed a Darth title, and when they asked him for suggestions he said "Darth Insaneus" or "Darth Icky".

Well I think that was him realizing what type of people were around him and testing out what they'd say. And when they said "Ok George, that's great!... You know what he's not a real Sith so we won't worry about making him a Darth, but thanks anyway!" he realized how full of shit they were and decided to sell up to Disney

Podracing is a complete rip-off from Ben Hur and that movie came out IN 1959 FOR FUCKS SAKES.

Lucas also ripped off e.g. westerns and japanese samurai films to the extent that basically Ep IV is a Kurosawa film in space.

It seems that people complained so hard about the prequels that Disney decided to cowardly give a safe and by the numbers movie instead of trying to give us something new and fresh.

Damn there was a simple honesty in their acting i don't ever see again.
>>
>>63738390
it's so absurd in retrospect that people thought the acting was one of the OT's flaws. I mean it's not always perfect but these people clearly know what they are doing and are trying.

>>63738413

When you watch the deleted scenes with Biggs and Luke, it's a real shame they couldn't find a way to keep those in.
>>
Lol, 97%, cunts.

That's makes it one of the best movies OF ALL TIME.
>>
Just got back from seeing it.

It's a good movie, but it's literally an exact fucking remake of the first star wars.
Like, what? The first trilogy started and ended it. They beat the bad guys, they won. The good guys were in control.

But then....no? Bad guys again?

This pisses on the original more than the prequels did. The prequels at least came BEFORE and didn't shitup the original story, just gave silly insight to it.

This new shit is a fucking retcon, and retcons are bad.

seen them. they were right to cut them but they're technically well executed, and also showcase Lucas' sincere desire to create an immersive fantasy universe.

>He just sucks at filtering out the bad ideas from the good ones, and is bad in execution.
This could be said of pretty much every talentless hack out there.

>>63731433
It's fucking sad how they all abandoned him but not in an overt way. Kasdan wouldn't even have a career if Lucas didn't give him a job or vouched for him with the studio that if Body Heat goes over budget that he'll pay for that. But, now Kasdan acts like he was the guy that made everything brilliant even though he didn't like the Han/Leia romance in ESB cause they (Kershner/Ford) changed it from what was in the script.
At least say that you think prequels are shit, don't spout shit like "they explored different ideas" as a roundabout way of thinking you can do a better job.
Not to mention that he wanted Luke to either die or become evil in ROTJ. Both ideas that Lucas nixed.

Ford actively begged for his character to be killed in ROTJ, but now acts like SW was always oh-so-special to him.

Fisher & Hamill cried about having to do emotional scenes with lobsters in flight suits and decrying how SW killed their careers, and Hamill saying he felt detached watching ESB, but now they pose on the red carpet doing jazz hands or whatever acting like Lucas kept them in a gulag or something.
They couldn't pretend to enjoy this back then, but for Disney they can?

Fuck them. All of them.
>>
>>63738390
Yeah, I just watched the cantina scene and it's actually surprising how natural they act.
Just look at the part with Greedo where Han sits there leisurely, casually peeling the plaster off the wall.

What exactly did it retcon? (besides the EU)
>>
>>63731975
McCallum has nothing to do with the creative side of the process. He's the producer and the producer's job is logistics and money management. His job is to set everything up for filming, not go over story options with Lucas.
>>
>>63738748
No but at least he concealed (almost) all the humor and quirkiness into himself while in TFA everyone quips like they're the Avengers.
>>
>>63738758
Well, the simple fact that Return of the Jedi was the end of it all? That the bad guy lost and good guys one and it was all hooray and darth vaders ghost was all happy!?

The new movie comes right after it and goes "scratch that, shits fucked now"

It's retarded. It should've been the events of like episode 9. It coming right after return of the jedi is plot wise, R E T A R D E D

Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are only happy because their lives became unJUSTed from the Disney jew magic.

>george lucas being an "idea guy" excuses the fact he waited until he had total creative control to make the prequels so no one could shoot down any of his ideas

no

>>63737239
Why does he sound like an edgy teenager?
>>
>>63739230
Because that's exactly what he was to an almost comical degree.
Whenever he trashed his surroundings during one of his tantrums you could almost hear "CRAAAAWLING IN MY SKIIIIN".

>>63738030
In my mind I just had a scene where the teacher shows this documentary, you see George, laugh your ass off, everyone asks you whats up, then you have to awkwardly explain the guy in the background is the director Star wars and everyone rolls their eyes like 'how is that relevant you autist'
>>
I'm willing to bet the reason lucas sold to disney is because lucas wanted to make a sequel trilogy, but fox wasn't going to let him just do whatever he wanted again.
>>
>>63739337
Fox had no say in it whatsoever. If they couldn't prevent him from selling it, they sure as fuck couldn't tell him how to film it. They were the distributors of the movies out of prestige at best. They got like 5% of the profits off of these movies. Lucas could just go to Universal or Warner and it wouldn't matter.
>>
>>63735226
Jesus.

Okay george whatever you say.
>>
>>63735398
>People is one person
>>
>>63739581
I'm not sure how I defended Lucas with that, but sure I'll bite. Fox didn't own Star Wars. They only had the distribution rights to New Hope. They still actually do. Disney can't put out a blu-ray of OT without first making some kind of deal with Fox for New Hope.
As far as the prequels go, Lucas paid for those with his money out of his pocket. They distributed the movies cause the first 3 had that fanfare at the beginning so the next 3 might as well.
The same goes for Indiana Jones. If Spielberg and Lucas decided that New Line should distribute Crystal Skull the could've done it. There was jack shit Paramount could've done about it. The only thing that would be different was there's be no visual gag in regards to the Paramount mountain at the beginning.

So Fox had no creative input on these movies since the start. For New Hope they didn't care cause they thought it was gonna be a minor hit at best and afterwards they had nothing cause Lucas had it in writing that he owns it. It was all part of his get out of the studio system plan. The fire rose and there was nothing any of the Fox executives could do about it excpet poke the plane debris with a stick.
The best they could do for the sequel trilogy is say that they don't want to distribute it, but why would they do that? Even 5% profit of something they didn't have to invest anything into is better than nothing. It was abetter profit margin than they got on a lot of other shit they made.

>>63739934
Yea, okay george, we get it. You could do whatever you wanted.

Point taken. Although Lucas made a good cocktail with all those different cinematographic genres.
