Hello /tv/!
George here. I thought I'd give you guys the chance to apologize and ask me to come back.
>>63931861
i never blamed georgie for nothing
>tfw george is gone forever
>tfw star wars will never have this much fun, heart or soul ever again, hope you look forward to forced liberal propaganda, endless sequels and spin offs milked out every year to bleed this franchise dry until the magic of star wars is dead

im so sorry george..
He was just trying to be a good friend. I'm sorry Georgie
>>63933119
g-guys.. i think we fucked up
It's too late now, guys.
You didn't want me. You called me names. You made jokes about me.
The prequels were shit. TFA was better than any of the prequels in every way possible. George Lucas is a faggot.
Someone post the webm of George writing his screenplay
Visionary.
We miss you George, this hack is very much dry and unimaginative.
>>63931861
sorry mr. george, please come back, I can't take this normie trainwreck anymore.
He was a good friend.
>>63931861
to be honest Star Wars fanbase is probably the worst thing that ever happened to this world so I kinda feel bad for him. he doesn't deserve the hate he gets
>>63931861
I like the prequels and never vilified Lucas. Asking me to apologize is like asking all white people to apologize for Coldplay.
>>63933373
No it was arguably better than 2, but the last 30 minutes of 2 was better than black wars 7: the coon awakens
This guy said he wants some orange old not-yoda to somehow have Luke's old lightsaber
>>63933504
>Coldplay
What did they do?
Here you can see me at work.
I may have gone too far in a few places.. but I think we can all agree the end result was fun.
>>63933550
Shit taste: the post
>>63933653
Top cuck
>>63933458
>normie
What the fuck do you think Star Wars has always been?
>>63933119
never thought a video would make me want to rewatch the prequels..
>>63933672
>muh cuck meemay
>>63933373
Thanks for not being such a fuckwit like the others anon. TFA was enjoyable, better than all of the prequels. Everyone posting is just an edgy shitlord per usual /tv/
>>63933648
hahahaha what the fuck
Everyone is like: wtf am I watching? What do I do?
>>63931861
George, go make experimental films like you said you were going to do after the prequels. Please don't have anything else to do creatively with Star Wars ever again.
>>63933648
This is everyone's face and thinking
>>63933550
His character would not be any different if he was black or white stop being a faggot
>>63933745
Finn was worse than jar jar, but even a good Finn wouldn't have saved the terrible story.
Finn was worse than Hayden
>>63933231
>>63933159
>>63933308
>>63933833
If he was white the liberal sjw cucks wouldn't be shilling the movie
>>63931861
Thank you george for selling star wars so we never have to suffer though your shit again.
No homo but I think young Lucas was fucking handsome
>>63933896
Who cares it was a good movie. its not like he was shoved in there just to have a black character. He was actually one of the better characters of the movie.
Fat ugly ewok looking bitch, stay gone for good it's better without you
>>63933852
>Finn was worse than Jar Jar
>Finn was worse than Hayden
>>63933896

>>63934247
Whoops, meant for >>63933696
I still need to watch the original movie, The Hidden Fortress.
>>63934208
It's a play. No one cares about plays.
>>63934325
A play that is slated to be adapted to cinema with pre-production starting next year and featuring the same cast.
I sure hope you enjoy baboon Hermione.
>>63931861
Who do you think Supreme Leader Snoke really is? It's George. Think about it.
>>63933119
>midichlorians
>Star Wars still has magic
>>63933648
There was a moment when all people laughed George included. Why did they laugh? What was there to laugh about?
>>63934373
Sales will suffer, just like they did internationally for Star Wars. Soon they'll realize people don't go to the movies to see baboons in place of characters they remember.
>>63933119
Sorry George ;_;
COME BACK PLEASE THE DISNEY JEWS ARE WORSE
>>63934578
The OT and the the Prequels both had a black guy and nobody gave a shit. and Finn isn't replacing a previously white character. You guys are so insecure about being cucked all the time every time you see a black guy on TV.
>>63931861
PLEASE COME BACK
I NEVER WANTED THIS
GEORGE PLS
>>63931861
Fuck off and take your ewoks, jar jar binks, and trade disputes with you.
>>63934578
I haven't even watched Ep7 outside of a camrip because I refuse to support this shit and only saw the camrip to confirm my worries on how bad it is.
And it was all I expected it to be, a ripoff of A New Hope complete with Michael Bay tier acting and CGI overuse, just like Jew Jew Abraham's "reboot" of Star Trek.
The difference is that Trekkies are a lot more vocal about their franchise and since it wasn't as popular as Star Wars, it also had a much greater fan cult following to the point of literally getting Jew Jew fired from making new Star Trek material and reboot not reaching expected sales.
But then Jew Jew saw a new thing that was ripe and fresh for rape, Star Wars. And since it's a lot more popular and doesn't have such a closed cult following as Star Trek, it was much easier to rape it and push their agenda.
And it still did worse than any movie made by Lucas.
I wonder if they will ever learn
>>63934677
THEY REPLACED THE RIGHTFUL PROTAGONISTS
>>63933119
oh god what have we done...?
>>63934677
George was a liberal but his views and themes were more cleanly integrated into his movies so it didn't matter if you agree with it or not. TFA shoeshorns this crap to pander so it sticks out like a sore thumb.
>>63934763
They won't because the majority of the population liked the movie. they dont make movies to appeal to the small minority of neckbeards.
>>63933119
George didn't fail us. We failed George.
>>63933571
what is the context behind this?
>>63934875
>Majority of population
And yet it's a financial decline from previous movies.
Sure it sold like hot cakes but there's a greater opposition to it than say George's shit, it's a blatant fucking ripoff of ANH now with 300% more pandering and focus on merchandising (they even gave 3PO a red arm that they didn't explain so they can sell you the new comic series starting in January that will lead up to him losing an arm and explaining the replacement - TRUE STORY).
And again, it sold worse than previous SW movies.
ESPECIALLY in Europe.
>>63934955
a guy told him there may be too much of jar jar in EP1
>>63931861
No, you were awful. Fat faggot.
>>63935070
Seriously? Did that actually happen?
>>63934955
Right there in the post.
He wanted an OC ripoff of Yoda in the prequels that would have Luke's lightsaber (the one he later has in Ep6) thus invalidating Luke building one himself.
>>63934314
The Magic Serpent is another inspiration.
>>63935107
It's a parody, retard.
>>63933938
young george was handsome as fuck
NO FUCK YOU YOU FAT PIECE OF SHIT
>>63935070

>>63935113
If that is the case then thats a bit of an over reaction from old Georgey boy
>>63935001
hasn't it had the best opening weekend of all time?
>>63935126
In some ways even closer especially the super powers. Not only the Obi Wan but the Darth Vader as the father thing.
>>63935001
The movie has only been out a few days m8
>>63931861
George I tried to explain to these retards it was a bad idea to put JJ at the helm. I failed you sir. I will throw myself into the nearest trash compactor.

>>63933119
There's a difference between poetry and shamelessly using iconic imagery from past successes to make your dogshit look better.
I'll admit that the prequels aren't as bad as a lot of people say they are, but come on.
Thematically and conceptually they were spot-on. They perfectly captured the more civilized age that Obi-Wan mentioned in ANH, but the story they told and they way they told it was shit.
Take the saber duels, for instance. If you actually pay attention to the OT, it makes sense that they would be more akin to a dance than someone just wailing on another. The problem with the duels in the prequels was that there was no emotional investment at all. Why should I care about Qui-Gon or Darth Maul? Neither of them has done anything to make me give a shit about them either way. Darth Maul hadn't even had five minutes of screen time when Duel of the Fates started! We're just told to care without the film putting in any effort to actually making the audience give a shit about anything the characters are doing.
The prequels were bad because they followed a formula without putting any effort into telling a compelling story with characters that anyone cared about.
Fuck off George, you got lucky on the first one and you were smart to let better filmmakers than yourself to make the rest of them. Why you thought you could do a good job with the prequels is beyond me.
>>63931861
I'M SORRY FOR EVERYTHING O' NECKBEARD MASTER.

200 mil budget with a 530 mil box office.
Ep4 had a budget of 11 mil and 775 mil box office.
Ep5 had a budget of 18 mil and 540 mil box office.
Ep6 had a budget of 32 mil and 570 box office.
Ep1 had a budget of 115 mil and 1.027 billion box office.
Ep2 had a budget of 115 mil and 650 mil box office.
Ep3 had a budget of 113 mil and 850 mil box office.
As it stands, it had the highest budget to date with lowest box office to date.
I sincerely doubt it will surpass Ep4 and Ep3.
>>63935575
i ain't reading that shit reddit
>>63935575
>better filmmakers than yourself to make the rest of them
Like who? Kershner who directed that shitty remake of Thunderball and Robocop2 and Eyes of Laura Mars? Lucas still had THX and American Graffiti under his belt, Irvin got lucky with one movie.
>>63935659
Are those opening weekend, or total theatrical run?
>>63935659
Meant to say I sincerely doubt it will surpass Ep4 and Ep3 let alone Ep1.
And even then box office doesn't matter jack shit if it earns less, always substract the budget from the box office amount to see how much it actually earned.
>>63935794
Lifetime gross, so theatrical run.
>>63931861
Hey George why don't you go invent more shitty Muppet aliens while the grown ups make movies.
Please come back to us. I have always loved you.
Disney will burn everything to the ground. Please come back George.
>>63931861
>>63933119
I'm sorry George, after having watched TFA I can assure you I miss you.
;_;
>>63935826
It hasn't even been a week yet.
http://www.the-numbers.com/movie/records/Biggest-Opening-Weekend-at-the-Box-Office
that's what you should be looking at, and guess what movies aren't in the top 10.
>>63931861
Nope. Prequels were garbage.
(Lucas is a good guy. I love him)
>>63931861
>I thought I'd give you guys the chance to apologize
Oh I'll apologize all right, I apologize for you being a jerk, TFA is all your fault.
>>63935826
Don't forget to factor in promotional costs and marketing.
Subtract DOUBLE the budget to see how much it REALLY earned.
>>63935948
Opening weekend doesn't matter jack shit if it can't maintain it later you know.
It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Being good at sprint doesn't mean being good at marathon.
As the hype falls down and word of mouth gets around so too will the sales.
Again I'm not saying it sold badly, I'm merely saying I doubt it will end up selling as good as some other SW movies.
>>63935990
Doesn't the budget cover marketing? I always hear conflicting reports on this. Some people say budget is the whole thing, others say the budget is just the development cost.
>>63931861
I will never you forgive you for the Prequels or the Ewoks you faggot.
>>63934955
The general idea is Lucas surrounded himself with yes men, and didn't take criticism well, and basically had a blank check and it failed horribly.
No one wanted to challenge his ideas, those who did, like this guy, were dealt with harshly

it just hit me hard :(
>>63933119
why do people act like star wars was ever good?
>>63936253
Nostalgia+unsophisticated pulp taste
>>63936168
This is 100% true.
See Force Unleashed debacle.
When making the game they asked Lucas for input and to give the main character a Darth title.
Lucas said it's their thing and he won't give any input as for the Darth title he suggested Insanius and Icky.
At first they all thought it was a joke and waited for Lucas to follow up but he just moved on to a different subject and acted entirely serious. None of them challenged him up on this and decided to simply not use a Darth title in the game at all if those were their only options (all the Darth titles before Disney buyout were all created by Lucas).
>>63936052
No matter what /tv/ says, the sentiment I've been hearing is that it's pretty good and worth seeing. After seeing it myself, I'd agree. And looking at the other movies in the top 20, I'd bet money that it'll make more money than Ep1. As far as profit, god and disney alone know, but it'll make bank.
>>63934550
They laughed because George laughed, that's how it works.
>>63936312
what is pulp anyways?
>>63936354
I don't know why you'd think a straight up ripoff of A New Hope that point for point rips off every single piece of the story but with worse acting, music and a crapload more CGI is worth watching.
I mean just go and watch A New Hope again, you get objectively better experience with the same plot.
>>63934550
It helps if you aren't too autistic to understand a humorous situation.
>>63933119

>>63936633
Yes.
>>63933119
>prequels
>fun
all i remember is being bored and annoyed
>>63931861
I am very glad he didn't make sw ep 7. If he did it woulda been:
>>Children! Children everywhere!
>>An even MORE annoying child drawing character like JARJAR
>>Even more MIDICLORIANS and SCIENCE!! LOOK HOW REAL JEDI'S ARE!!!!
>>Gigantic plot holes spinning off the prequels even more leaving everyone reaching to tie it all together again
>>LOOK AT ME SPINNING AND TWIRLING AND TWERKING with ma LIGHT SABER!! ..Pretty sure he would some how make a jedi gay with a rainbow lightsaber somehow.
I know there could have been better directer then LOST guy but I'm glad it wasn't your Royal Highness Georgy.
There is one thing I respect about George.
He made what HE wanted to make.
He didn't listen to projections on what would sell better.
He didn't listen to any criticism, be it good or bad.
He didn't do what someone told him to do.
He did it all for himself, to create something that in his eyes was something he wanted to do.
Did you know the Clone Wars cartoon (the 3D one) was literally bleeding money because it had huge production costs with barely any return? Lucas funded it all entirely out of his own pocket and didn't care it wasn't turning profit.
He did it because he wanted to do it.
Sure the prequels are meh but they still have some good things about them and the Clone Wars had some really stellar episodes some with great writing to boot.
And that's what I can respect, doing what YOU want to do and not what projected data tells you that you should do to make biggest profit.
For all intents and purposes I'd rather have Lucas make another fucking prequel trilogy that is as mediocre as the one he gave us already than have this soulless corporation make more soulless movies designed only to make quick buck and sell as much tie-in merchandise as possible.
>>63936805
Don't forget the trade disputes, tarrifs, taxes, and representative politics. But nothing too complex though, keep everything on a grade school level of understanding.
Also emotions are always bad/evil. Because george doesn't understand them.
![hqdefault[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/eFsB8wV.jpg "hqdefault[1].jpg")
My ultimaate Star Wars wet dream fantasy would be this:
1. No CG at all for Ep. 7-9 (except maybe for digitally erasing shit like cables and ropes off actors), cleaning mild blemishes (not done). I want matte paintings (done) and real animatronics and special f/x makeup art (half-done) and real model fighters in the sky doing shit (1/4 done).
2. John Williams doing the music (done, could of been better though)
3. Re-release the original theatrical versions in theaters and on blu-ray.
3. Remake the prequels in the same fashion
4. Superb storytelling / writing (2/4 done)
As an oldfag Star Wars fan I don't really ask for much.
>>63936876
>Did you know the Clone Wars cartoon (the 3D one) was literally bleeding money because it had huge production costs with barely any return?
Shit. I need to watch that.
>>63936513
Is A New Hope worth watching?
>>63937054
Fuck dat old shit, watch the new movie with the brother in it.
>>63936876
The only good aspects of the prequels were already represented by the OT. Everything new george added was dogshit. All the dialogue was written as if by a person who had never had a conversation before. All the characters acted as if written by someone who had never encountered a person before.
George is a pretty okay idea guy. Hes also petty, resentful, egotistical, and vindictive. He simply can't handle anyone vetoing any of his ideas. This is the main reason he waited so long to make the prequels. So anyone with any experience, talent, ability, or backbone would be removed from the equation, and he could do only what he wanted without anyone so much as thinking of questioning him.
>>63937054
It's a space opera.
It's simple, it's cheesy and it's fun.
It's also perfectly self contained if you don't end up interested in Empire Strikes Back (universally held up as the best Star Wars movie) and Return of the Jedi (a kinda meh follow up to both dragged down by furry midgets ex machina)
Personally I'd say it's worth it, just make sure to hunt the Despecialized Edition.
>>63936876
That's fine and dandy to apply his rogue filmaker technique to a out of the blue space opera/western like A new hope was.
By TPM he had too much money and influence for it to work- no one challenged him, those who did were dismissed, hell he didn't even have spielberg help out ffs.Too much control isn't exactly a good thing
>>63937139
I never said he ain't petty and egoistical.
I merely said I respect the fact he was making what he wanted to make no matter the criticism.
It may have been universally panned but in his eyes it was pure gold and isn't that what matters? To make what YOU want?
I mean shit, if I was making a movie I'd rather make a movie I want than one that appeals to broadest audience.
>>63937009
If you wanna watch it, watch the old 2D Clone Wars cartoon by Genndy Tartakovsky since the 3D one expects you to have watched the old one which introduces one of the main antagonists.
>>63937137
gotcha famm
>>63937137
>>63937168I made my post before reading his whole post, and thought he just said the two were the same. Still sounds like TFA is worth watching if you enjoyed ANH at least, even if it's basically a worse versionBut I haven't seen it and am just trying to play devil's advocate
>>63937252
The problem is your praise doesn't sync up with the fact he was making commercial product. It's not like hes ever been accused of making art.
So he made products people didn't like, then acted like people were the ones with the problem, and made appeals to his imaginary target demographic, then got angry and bitter when that imaginary target demographic didn't manifest.
Like most autistic people, george lucas is engaged in an eternal war with the reality surrounding him. Thinking he can force it into the shape he wants it to be and getting angry when it doesn't live up to his expectations.
>>63936513
>carrie fisher in ANH
>good acting
That aside, TFA had a similar story because Star Wars has never been about the specifics of the story it told, it's always been about the characters.
And you know what, we need a macguffin anyways, Star Wars has always been pretty cheesey, so why not just a bigger Death Star? Hell, we'll even have Han make a joke about it in the fucking movie. Everyone will get it and no one will freak out, right?
>>63937439
Don't ever play devil's advocate for something you haven't even fucking seen.
Also by the very virtue of it being a shameless copypaste it should be relegated to not worth watching because again, why watch the ripoff when you can watch the original?
>>63937553
Because it's MORE
>>63937501
>The problem is your praise doesn't sync up with the fact he was making commercial product.
You can say that about literally any movie, art movies included, if they're available in cinema for a price.
Just because it had bigger budget and was shown in cinema for a ticket price doesn't suddenly make it targeted at commerce.
The very fact that it was so panned should make it obvious to you that it wasn't aimed to please the masses but to please himself.
For fucks sake, just check up on Clone Wars and how it was literally bleeding money and Lucas still didn't cut the funding, in fact he fucking increased it just so they could get better models and animation.
He didn't give a flying fuck if it sells, he was however upset people didn't like something he poured his heart and soul into and that's understandable.
Doesn't change the fact that what he made was shit, but it was HIS shit.
>you will never see a Star Wars movie done by the season 5 Clone Wars team with Lucas doing all the stuff he was doing in TCW
Why even live
>>63937644
More what? More Star Wars? Why not just fucking read the books and play the videogames or watch the cartoons then which at least aren't 1:1 ripoffs of existing movies.
>>63937751
I saw first few episodes of Rebels coming straight from a CW marathon of Seasons 5 and 6.
Boy was I crushed after seeing it. The art style was shit, the budget was cleraly far lower, the writing and everything clearly became 7+ or even borderline E for Everyone instead of the 13+ of the original Clone Wars and it was simply all around shit.
The lolsowacky rebellious teenage mandalorian girl in pink armor fighting Empire by painting pink graffiti on TIE Fighters was the point at which I knew Star Wars is dead.
>>63937857
It's MORE famm
>>63931861
George did a lot of things I didn't like. He did a lot of things that outright pissed me off.
But at the same time, he wasn't preparing to give the world Star Wars fatigue by shitting out a movie every year.
A new trilogy? Okay, I can live with that. Hell, that Rogue One movie looks like it could be neat too. But a fucking Han Solo prequel? Why do we need that, when it could be covered in the new EU (just as it was in the old EU). People saying "you won't live to see the last Star Wars movie under Disney". Jesus fuck. For all of Lucas' fuck-ups, at least he didn't go that far.
He let other people, generally fans who loved his movies and moved into professional creative careers, continue the Star Wars legacy in a manner that it wasn't shoved into cinemas every year.
For all his fuck-ups, I just like the way things ran under his leadership better.
>>63937923
Yeah you can fuck off now nigger shitposter
Prequels are misunderstood by idiot nerds and Redditors.
>>63933119
heres your (you)
>>63937723
Lucas' heart and soul are shit. No one wants it. He gets angry that no one wants it.
Hes not terrence malik (which is whom you're baiting so hard for someone it reference it's causing me physical pain to resist), hes not making art and not giving a fuck. Hes making shit and getting angry any time anyone tells him its shit.
>>63931861
Lol no. Just retire already.
I don't want to see your ugly fat face in the news anymore.
>>63938078
You're still missing the point that it's his shit and his alone.
>>63938139
Except it isn't. The only reason he has his fortune to waste is because he had people telling him how to shine his shit into gold. The cast and crew of the OT are more responsible for the his fortune than he is. And he's spent the last 38 years shitting on everyone and everything that made him who he is.

some of those aren't even relevant, they're just a lazy way to shoot a scene. Literally a fucking over the shoulder shot during a conversation.
Fuck off, you're being contrarian for contrary's sake. They were objectively bad movies in almost every way.
Conceptually and thematically they were good, but the execution was so bad it's indescribable.
>>63938333
I've never been the target demographic, why would I?
>>63938368
You'd be surprised how much core fan target material there is in it.
You're thinking of Rebels as the one where you're not the target demographic.
>>63938350
jett, you need a nap, seriously. everyone is happy your dad is done.
>>63938411
I don't care. Anything that validates the prequels is completely dead to me. Fuck them now and forever.
Core fans are not the people who wanted the prequels, core fans are the people who got so angry by the prequels they started writing EU material or just lost interest in star wars completely.
>>63934955
they are probably acting.
But I liked Episode VII.
Ideal situation is, George Lucas offers story outline, other writers adapt into screenplay, other directors film it.
He's creative enough, but not exactly masterful with the other aspects of making a good movie.

Since Obi Wan flat out says "I've fought alongside your father in the Clone Wars" to Luke in the first 20 minutes of Ep4.
Also Anakin has completely different personality in the Clone Wars. He's actually likeable. The new actor helps too.

No, the OT is dead to me because george lucas actively destroyed every copy he could find so.
>>63931861
I'm sorry, George. Though your films have problems, at least you tried to bring something new to the franchise with Episodes 1, 2 and 3. You tried to show a different side of that familiar galaxy, a golden era where the empire doesn't exist. Sure, you used too much CGI, but at least you made me believe in this alien universe whenever you showed planets like Kamino, Mustafar, Felucia, Naboo (with its beautiful oceans, not just one-biome planets like in the new movie), Geonosis, Coruscant, etc.
>>63938697
>>63938612
That logic would only work if the OT came out after the PT. So, yea, you're engaged in some advanced mental gymnastics.
I'm sorry George I tried to shill prequels for you I only converted 2 people in my life to ever get over the meme of the prequels being bad
I tried to show people what I saw
what you saw
the greatness in these movies that fanboys couldn't share your vision with
I failed you but now.. they're coming around it took you being gone for them to Awaken
thank you for everything you did thank you for the only chapters of star wars that matter
Sorry, George, VII is better than I, II, III and VI.
>>63938757
There was nothing great in the prequels that wasn't already great in the OT. All the prequels did was dilute and tarnish the franchise.

You'll never come back. You know where this spiral leads. You've made your fucking peace.
Still, I wonder how he would feel if he actually received mass apology from fans. He's only human, so I'd assume he'd be rather bitter about receiving a decade plus of scorn and then seeing public opinion do a 180 the moment he finally gives up.
VII isn't getting enough heat to garner it, though. People are too starstruck by the concept of non-prequels-era Star Wars being back to realize the movie's mediocrity.

absolutely everything in the prequels is a pedantic retreading of information we already had from the OT.

"According to Rydstrom, Lucas "really wanted to make a beautiful fairy tale with goblins and elves, and do it in a way that only this company can do. He had been working on it for a long time." Rydstrom mentioned that Lucas emphasized that the story should be about "finding beauty in strange places". Rydstrom also stated "It was important for him to tell this story where you saw the beauty in something you didn't expect to see—that it looked ugly on the outside but you saw the beauty underneath." The film was in the works for 15 years including, at one point development alongside the Star Wars prequels."

he had some self respect and some dignity for his creation, disney will now water this franchise down and milk this cashcow every year till star wars is dead
>>63939148
Literal Tatooine is in two of the movies you fucking sperglord. it also features two other, separate desert planets, and a not-Endor. But there is a city planet and a lava planet. And not-earth, how breathtakingly original.

George would have likely included a black main character. He did so in Strange Magic and made that Red Tails movie. He might even go to far with trying to put in 'positive' (somewhat up for interpretation) portrayals of non-white people to make up for ideas of him being racist with Jar Jar and those guys with the vaguely East Asian accents and some other stuff.
I believe that guy who posted a list of things seemingly from the early Ep VII screenplay by Arndt had something in it about Lando's son.

Seriously, fuck this fandom.
>>63939129
Star Wars was always about tie-in marketing. It has been since the OT, and George explicitly gave the films a lighter tone to suit that goal.
It's just that when George milked the cash cow, it was by creating new characters. Sometimes what came out was stupid. See: Jar Jar. To a lesser extent, see: Ewoks. Other times what came out was decent in concept but terribly delivered or simply not really used.
Disney Wars is just going to ape elements of the OT as poorly and hastily as possible because they know that's what the fans, burned from a decade of prequel content and willing to lap up anything else, want to see.
>>63933119
that vid tho
>>63939499
This. I don't get why everyone's quoting that post, plinkett shut down the pottery thing as a depthless reason to execute something in a shittier way. It's like when you watch a really unoriginal movie only to realize it isn't just the lack of creative innovation that kills it, but rather it has no idea why the original content worked in the first place.
>>63939780
It's because of the sad music. Put sad music over anything and it's sad.

When George Lucas was in charge, we had 6 movies over 20~ years. Each movie took around 3 years to make.
Disney bought the franchise and already has 6 movies planned for the next 6 years (2015 - Episode VII, 2016 - Rogue One, 2017 - Episode VIII, 2018 - ???, 2019 - Episode IX, 2020 - ???). They got the rights in mid 2013 and shat out a sequel in less than two years. Let that sink in.
At least George Lucas treated the franchise with more love, even though he was misguided sometimes.
>>63933119
>take scenes from literally any shit movie

>>63939552
I had something to say, and I said it, so why don't you go climb a wall of burning dicks ?
>>63939197
Is Strange Magic similar to what George Lucas would have done for the Star Wars sequels and is Disney somewhat encorporating Lucas' ideas or is Strange Magic Lucas' fairy tale version of Disney's plans for the Star Wars sequels? Or none of the above?
"[Episodes VII, VIII and IX deal with] the rebuilding of the Republic [and] the necessity for moral choices and the wisdom needed to distinguish right from wrong. If the first trilogy is social and political and talks about how society evolves, Star Wars is more about personal growth and self-realization, and the third deals with moral and philosophical problems. In Star Wars there is a very clear line drawn between good and evil. Eventually you have to face the fact that good and evil aren’t that clear cut, and the real issue is trying to understand the difference. The sequel is about Jedi Knighthood, justice, confrontation, and passing on what you have learned."
- George Lucas, 1983
Maybe Disney is using more Lucas' ideas than they've let on, but just didn't want to admit so due to the reputation his recent movies have obtained.
George Lucas is a misunderstood genius. He was scorned by modern audiences, but people don't understand the real pottery behind his work.
50 years from now the force awakens will be considered bottom of the dumpster garbage and the prequels will be rightly viewed as masterful epics ahead of their time.
Original copies of them will be worth as much as van gohts today.
>>63939884
The choice of having SW movies every 10-20 years is pretty incidental it seemed. Lucas didn't seem to want to do the prequels for whatever personal reasons and then he did, then he didn't want 7 and on to exist but then he sold sw and it happened.
It's literally the whole reason FA was so hyped, but yeah people are going to get sick of this series by ep 10.

>>63931861
I didn't realize that even if you lost your touch, you were the only one with authority to actually try new shit with this series.
I'm sorry george, i'll give you that. But i still don't want you to come back cause you'll just fuck it up more. The bottom line is, star wars wasn't ever amazing but now it's just dead.

I never got this argument. Since when knowing Midichlorians exist make the Force less impressive and fantastical? Jedi are still special religious people that can do things most can't with the power of their minds. Midichlorians are essentially just "magical atoms", the living Force.

because it makes scientific something that's supposed to be spiritual

"I think we'll try, on the next one, to write all three scripts at once. Then they can come out every other year, instead of every three years. Doing it the way we do it now, we race through one, and as soon as we finish one we race into the next one, and we go as fast as we can. We just barely get it done in time, and we race right into the next one. At ILM, they get six-month breaks between the movies, but it's a non-stop race for me and for the main

If they were so good, why didn't they make their own better version of Star Wars then, one they owned and could do whatever they wanted to?
That seems like a childish statement to me.

>He almost killed his own franchise
Kids loved the prequels and the cartoons / books / HQs that came with it, just like 70s kids loved the original trilogy. Star Wars is a franchise made for kids.
I'm sure everyone at Lucasfilm was really mad about the manchildren criticism when they were making extreme amounts of dollars off of The Clone Wars cartoon and etc.
>>63940952
That was about 7, 8, and 9, which never happened under his leadership for whatever reason.
Another trilogy is what he had been saying for decades, it's what we expected, it's fine.
I don't think he was planning on this:
And if the people at the Walt Disney Company, which bought Lucasfilm for $4 billion in 2012, have anything to say about it, the past four decades of Star Wars were merely prologue. They are making more. A lot more. The company intends to put out a new Star Wars movie every year for as long as people will buy tickets. Let me put it another way: If everything works out for Disney, and if you are (like me) old enough to have been conscious for the first Star Wars film, you will probably not live to see the last one. It’s the forever franchise.
