Q: What’s George Lucas’s problem?

Discuss.

2

Other than he hasn’t written an intelligent script in 20 years, and should be permanently banned from the PC and video gaming industry? :smiling_imp:

3

I had to google to find out who that was.

Then I remembered.

I just googled his name and there’s some stuff about him changing some things in Star Wars, is that what you mean? --It’s funny though, his skywalker ranch is off of Hiway 101 in Marin and the turnoff is Lucas Valley Road. Only thing is that it was always called that. I guess when George started looking around for some place to put his ranch he thought it would be cool to have his own offramp. – One time a friend and his girlfriend wanted to go out to breakfast because it was her birthday. I had read where this pancake house, yea that one, was George’s favorite breakfast spot so suggested we go there. We ordered and were waiting when I noticed a cockroach floating belly up in the syrup. yikes! Don’t tell George.-- I suppose I’m in the minority but the whole Star Wars thing bored me. So I’m still not sure why I’m picking on him but it’s kind of fun. --About a year or so when the last dvd came out of the Star Wars series some guy on one of those movie review shows said something like ‘and you can get the extra bonus disc version and listen to George Lucas drone on and on about making the movie.’ -mike

Terrible intonation. Just awful. Can’t blow the 2 octaves in tune. Noway.

6

Greedo shot first!!!

7

The second Indiana Jones film was pretty entertaining. It borrowed heavily from old movie serials that were the forerunner of Saturday morning live-action television programs.

8

The first Indiana Jones was genius. The second movie was a great parody of the first. The third had Sean Connery in it.

9

Maybe he doesn’t have a problem as far as he’s concerned.

10

Yeah. I think that commenced his modern period.

11

cough $$$$$$$$$$ cough






Star Wars is dead to me.




And by the way, I read that the rear channels on the new DVDs are reversed. Lucasfilm issued a statement confirming the reversed channels, but said that they were not a mistake but “an artistic choice”.

:laughing:

It also had River Phoenix in it. It’s hard to believe he died! He could have gone far.

13
  1. He smells.
  2. He has cooties.
  3. He eats boogers.
  4. His mother dresses him funny.
    5 He plays a recorder.

…he needed the $ and the attention: “Hey, remember me? I’ve worked with Spielberg once or twice. It’s me, George. You know, the guy who made Star Wars AND American Grafitti?..”

16

He’s worked Hayden Christensen into the final scene in Return of the Jedi (so now “young” Anakin appears in ghost form next to Yoda and Obi-Wan). Ugh. :frowning:

I don’t get this…what on earth was Lucas thinking? Why isn’t Obi Wan young too (goodness knows he’s way better looking when he is! :stuck_out_tongue: )? That doesn’t make sense.
On another note, I think that if Lucas was going to change so darn much anyway, he should have put in a scene where some alien types were playing a session with some guy playing a killer whistle solo… :smiley:

And people had the audacity to mock Lord of the Rings! LOL :laughing: :roll:

He lost me as a fan long ago when his re-release of the the movie version of Jedi had a really awful synth-y new agey soundtrack at the end (when the Ewoks and our heroes were celebrating the victory) instead of the Ewok’s happy tribal music. The ewoks may have been too cute for some people, but the original music was them. And its liveliness and exuberance was appropriate for the happy ending and celebratory partying going on.

The colourless and forgettable “tune” that replaced it - I still can’t understand why he did it. What purpose did it serve? It wasn’t uplifting at all, nor did it stir the heart or end the original trilogy on a high. It didn’t even have anything to do with forcing the original trilogy to fit into the rewritten backstory.

He was just meddling for meddling’s sake, IMO.
