GhostofAnakin Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Lucas talks A couple of interesting comments: Q: Why not release both the originals and special editions on DVD? LUCAS: The special edition, that's the one I wanted out there. The other movie, it's on VHS, if anybody wants it. ... I'm not going to spend the, we're talking millions of dollars here, the money and the time to refurbish that, because to me, it doesn't really exist anymore. It's like this is the movie I wanted it to be, and I'm sorry you saw half a completed film and fell in love with it. But I want it to be the way I want it to be. I'm the one who has to take responsibility for it. I'm the one who has to have everybody throw rocks at me all the time, so at least if they're going to throw rocks at me, they're going to throw rocks at me for something I love rather than something I think is not very good, or at least something I think is not finished. And... Q: Do you pay much attention to fan reactions to your choices? LUCAS: Not really. The movies are what the movies are. ... The thing about science-fiction fans and "Star Wars" fans is they're very independent-thinking people. They all think outside the box, but they all have very strong ideas about what should happen, and they think it should be their way. Which is fine, except I'm making the movies, so I should have it my way. And about a possible continuation of Star Wars: Q: After "Episode III," will you ever revisit "Star Wars"? LUCAS: Ultimately, I'm going to probably move it into television and let other people take it. I'm sort of preserving the feature film part for what has happened and never go there again, but I can go off into various offshoots and things. You know, I've got offshoot novels, I've got offshoot comics. So it's very easy to say, "Well, OK, that's that genre, and I'll find a really talented person to take it and create it." Just like the comic books and the novels are somebody else's way of doing it. I don't mind that. Some of it might turn out to be pretty good. If I get the right people involved, it could be interesting.

TentamusDarkblade Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 i want his head on a Pike. He's butchered episode 1 and 2, and is poised to do the same thing again with 3. Somebody needs to stop him before it's too late.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Hahaha. Lucas is awsome. Tell the "fans" to stick it! Woo hoo! Espicialy if they are psychotic would be murderers like the goofball above me. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TentamusDarkblade Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 no no...i'm harmless. If i haven't killed Visc after all these years then i'd say any murderous desires i might have are well controlled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I'm surprised there aren't more murderer wannabes around these parts with Visc (and myself) being around... DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TentamusDarkblade Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 are you kidding...anyone who's been a regular around the BIS crew must have the patience of a saint. I mean, who else could put up with years of Gromnir's orc-speak, Visc's doom-predictions, you ever-popular anti-whining spam, and the other assorted loose nuts eccentric qualities :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphor Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I think a Star Wars television series would be interesting. Lucas has said that he'd give the reins over to other people, so that could really breathe new life into the franchise. I'd watch it for at least a season to give it a chance. If it's good, it'll be cancelled and if it's crap, it'll stay on, so either I'll get a good short-run show or something I don't need to watch; either way the committment is small.

Judge Hades Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Hey, it couldn't be worse that half the crap that is on now. We have 4 Law and Orders, 3 CSI's, more than a dozen or so boring reality TVs, a bunch of teenage angsty dramas, and more than a good share of other barely adequate science fiction shows on the television. The Star Wars TV show will find a good home amongst the lameness of the television wasteland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemonKing Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I think a Star Wars television series would be interesting.

Weiser_Cain Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I'm not a serious fan. Let's put it this way, whe I found out how much the prequels were I laughed. Not the reaction you'd expect from a real fan. Yaw devs, Yaw!!! ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitemithrandir Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Haha. Not surprised. Lucas lost his touch long ago. Now he just plain sucks. Word economics To express my vast wisdom I speak in haiku's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phosphor Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Well, he did write and produce them. He had more a hand in making them than the directors did, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oerwinde Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Well, he did write and produce them. He had more a hand in making them than the directors did, really. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He co-wrote Jedi, because the guy who wrote Empire died after finishing the 1st draft of Jedi, so George went in and patched it up. The best one in the trilogy was the one he had the least involvement in. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
