What did George mean by this?
>>63987642
What he said, fuck I hate this meme more than all the others
That's a completely valid opinion.
>/tv/ before TFA
>George Lucas is such a hack, look how silly he is, he ruined Star Wars
>/tv/ after TFA
>BASED LUCAS CAN DO NO WRONG, SO PATRICIAN
I'm so sick of this contrarianism meme.
>>63987642
>entertainment was passing for some kind of religious experience
he's talking about capeshit. specifically Disney's The Force Awakens.
based george confirmed for king of /tv/
>>63987642
He's right.
>>63987642
He meant that entertainment is replacing religion and it's the death of the human spirit when we stop debating ways to live our lives and start plotting how to best consume the most unfulfilling garbage. We have replaced the family meal of the human soul with the fast food version of it, and ironically Star Wars helped start that. It was the first Happy Meal for the mind.

Where do you think you are?

>>63987819
Christianity, brother.
So how do you stop the rise of organized religions with the intent to destroy?
Humanity needs to take steps to come together but religion places an unquestionable barrier between people

This is why he ruined the magic of the force with midichlorians. He didn't want people growing fedoras and joining loony meme religions based on his work.
He fell on his lightsaber to save us all :')

He means that even though religion has done bad things, it also has helped shape the world to what it is today and continues to change things. I always cringe when retards just simplify religion, it has asked many philosophical questions about life and is much more than just "le magic sky fairy". But no matter how bad it can get, it is still way better than people using soulless commercialized movies as a way to shape their lives and history.

Become a Buddhist like George.
>>63988384
George is a "Buddhist Methodist", whatever that means.
>>63988432
He's culturally Buddhist because of being raised in area where everyone around him were White Buddhists, but at the same time he believes in a Christian idea of a God because he was raised that way by his parents.

>I wasn't on /tv/ before TFA
>i wasn't on /tv/ yesterday or the day before
There was a vocal minority of people defending the prequels before this piece of shit came out and you fucking newfags repeating that over and over isn't going to make it true
>>63988486
Interesting
Nerd battles and arguments over movies and movie waifus are infinitely preferable to violent battles and confrontations over religions and the true god(s) of mankind. Anyone who disagrees is plain wrong.
>>63988255
Isn't there some quote about Lucas totally buying into the December 12, 2012 prediction?
>>63988498
Really though, they're total nostalgia fuel for millennials now. If they didn't have the OT's shadow to live under, people would have been heralding them as instant classics in their day.
They're not fantastic but do have a few redeeming qualities, much like TFA.
>>63988832
>much like TFA
I still don't understand how blatantly repeating the script is acceptable
he is completely right, i think he feels sad and responsible for all this extreme consumerism bullshit with star wars
>>63987729
ive been sheevposting since before you were even born
>unironically hating the prequels
Holy shit reddit has truly arrived.
>>63987837
Judaiism
>>63987729
It's because TFA was at least 50% old material, while the Prequels were at least NEW movies with NEW stories.
The prequels were still terribly executed but at least you can honestly say that they are 3 different movies that are different from the first 3 movies.
>>63987642
Last night I had a dream where I met George Lucas. It was in some sort of weird hybrid Disneyland/Botanical gardens with lots of plazas and benches for sitting. George was seated comfortably at some sort of table outside. I approached and we had a short but pleasant conversation I remember. I said something awkward but Lucas was very kind through the entire thing, a perfect gentlemen. Then I woke up.
Honestly he's a nice guy.
>>63989581
>being so contrarian you pretend to like them
>>63987642
It means he hates the Star Wars fanboys cause they this shit way too seriously.

>>63989581
Everybody's been shitting on the prequels since this board's creation.
The original Plinkett video was stickied for days. Nice try, newfag. Back to reddit with you.

redditors literally come on here and try and rewrite /tv/ with their bullshit, its sad
>>63987642
music festivals also serve this function.

He was so full of life and dreams then ;_;

thats cute

how new are you, faggot? see >>63991359
>>63987729
because now that is firmly out of his hands, the merits of his past works are unclouded by the shitness of the recent output of the star wars movie
nigga brought us fucking star wars and indiana jones
he is an integral part of the group that is scorcese, spielberg, and coppola.
he went back into the pantheon as soon as he removed himself from the current shit that is coming out.
>>63987642
But isn't that implying that organized religion is essentially just entertainment/escapism? Only difference between star wars fandom and religion is that we don't believe star wars mythology is actually true.
>>63991552
>>63987642
>make movies more spiritually significant than modern religion
>complain about entertainment passing for religious experience
Then again, the movies he had the least involvement in were the most spiritual ones.
>>63991510
How is it cute? I'm not talking about the one for TFA, moron. You don't know anything about this board's culture if you think shitting on prequels is reddit. Fucking board tourists are the worst.
>>63987642
I'm agnostic, but I actually wouldn't want religion to die either. Just religious extremists.And Islam

People are merely starting to realize how much better SW as under Lucas
>>63987840
You would know he's right actually if you had browsed for more than a year or two.

>>63987642
makes sense, it definitely seems like the vague state religion in thx 1138 was a portrayal of a sort of secular 'religion' stripped of its spirituality

>"Nerd culture is the product of a late capitalist conspiracy, designed to infantalize the consumer as a means of non-aggressive control." - Simon Pegg
Yet his entire body of work was built on nerd culture and he continues to participate in films that almost exclusively pertain to nerd culture. Such a fucking hypocrite.

Protestantism is the most American religion.

>>63987819
I think Dudeism and therefore Taoism has some pretty cool ideas about life
>>63988679
That's a Seth Rogen heresay. Anecdote may be true or not.

The Anglican church has always done right by me.
>>63987869
Humanity will come together when the Chinese perfect gene manipulation and turn the elites of their population into semi-Aryans, initiating the ability of the entire population of Earth to homogenize themselves into a singular race, and whiteness being the pinnacle of beauty, no doubt they will trend in that direction.
Being non-Aryan/White whatever the fuck it ends up looking like, will be a sign of low social status, and eventually will lead to a war that the non-modified cannot possibly win, as the new human race will have made themselves smarter, stronger, and have access to more technological offensive and defensive weaponry due to their inherent wealth and status.
Just imagine the war of the future being a bunch of Chinese Nazis with bionics and power armor fighting Pierre Wong from Canada.
