and the point to this thread is what shultz????

[yod]

id love to see a new movie...as long as he lets someone else write the script!!!

[Lissa]

Heehee.. I grew up having to watch Star Wars (the Last three... that were made first) Absolutely Love it... the First three films (that were filmed last... confused??) I absolutely hated.... Not going to bother seeing any new ones.... I am sure no one will make you watch it Jim.

[Swoop]

I hear ya Jim.
Not more, poxy, "jar jar binks" characters...

... and let the actors act.
... and listened to suggestions from other people involved in the film.
... and wasn't the sole creative input.

[gunnyrob]

If it's a prequel to the prequels, does this mean it's gonna be "Star wars episode 0.5"?

he should make episode 7, so we can watch those fecking teddy bears (EWOKS) get nuked from space. Spears vs laser rifles....PAH!!!

[yod]

... and let the actors act.

yeah...you got it...

[SpankMe]

Set before the prequels?? I thought his original story was split into three, then the middle story was split again into three and that was the original episodes IV to VI. Then he did episode I to III, so I was expecting episode VII to IX next. maybe there was no storyline in his head and he's just making it up as he goes along.

[Karma]

He did 4-6, then 1-3, now he's doing some other stuff.

Way I see it is this... if nobody went to see episodes 1-3 or brought them on DVD then he would not have made money on them and be planning to make more.

Despite the vocal objections of the few, there appears to be a market for more of these films, not everyone is as old as you Jim2. ;)

[James Deuce]

Nothing to do with age. Episodes 4-6 (as they came to be known) were passably good movies because Lucas only vaguely knew what he was doing.

1-3 are just bad movies. How can anyone direct Ewen MacGregor and make him look like an amateur? You'd have to be mammothly incompetent.

Anything else he does in the Star Wars universe can only get worse.

[gijoe1313]

Meesa like Star Wars! :doh: 'cept for JarJar (Death to JarJar!) Still think Empire Strikes Back is the best (go Empire!)

If more SW stuff is made, I'll still stump up for it - I'm stoopid that way :pinch: Read the books, played the RPG, bought the merchandise, viewed most episodes (4-6) at least several dozen times over, debated about inane SW related stuff (ala Clerks) and cheering on the Empire.

And oh yeah, Boba Fett the main man! :rockon:

Apparently, he basically told him (and all the other actors) how to act, and rejected any suggestions made as to modifications of the script, dialogue, direction, etc. "This is MY movie! I am the Writer/Director/Producer/God!"
Thus proving he is not a good writer/director/producer/god.
If he were at least a good god, he would've been omniscient, and known what to do that would've worked.
While I moderately enjoyed the first one (episode 1978ish, or summat?), and enjoyed seeing Carrie Fisher in her slave costume in one of the episodes after that, I don't think I've actually seen all of the subsequent/earlier episodes.

American Graffiti was OKish though...

[Steam]

Still think Empire Strikes Back is the best (go Empire!)
You know that was the only one he didn't write or direct?
I dunno, I'm looking forward to it. I'm very interested to see the TV series too, due to start filming next year.
If any of you haven't seen Clone Wars, you must. It is Kick Arse.

[Drum]

And a TV series too? God help us.

[JimO]

he is going to announce that he is getting his enormous double chin liposuctioned

[avgas]

Haha, back in the days when Anakin's dad was a drunk, couldnt get a job so he beat his mum. Then he ditches them saying he's gonna be a Jedi.
Lol......Once were Jedi's

All I know is Empire strikes back is my favourite.

[Kendog]

Another vote for Empire here.

I would go see any new Star Wars movies, cause I like the concept and universe it is set in. I also thought he had a 'big picture' that involved episodes 7,8 and 9.

Yep, and you'll be going by yourself next time, I'm not getting dragged to anymore Starwars movies unless you get me pissed first (or during, which ever)

[Steam]

If you smoke a whole fifty-bag of weed then watch the classic three, it's like seeing them for the first time Your memory is so wasted that you can't even remember that Darth is Luke's father. Like NO WAY, HIS FATHER!!??!

Or so I heard.
Some criminal guy I know told me that.

[Monorail]

i thought that it might be the new indy jones movie. could be wrong though

[El Dopa]

Yep, Lucas is a cunt, alright.

I've heard that for the next film, Industrial Light and Magics big effect will be to re-create 'your childhood illusions and dreams' on-screen. Amazing! All the wonderment of half-forgotten years, right there on the screen! How did they do it?

Then the camera will pan upwards to a shot of Lucas standing on a box above it, pissing downwards.

When I were a lad, the playground scuttlebutt when ep 6 came out was that there were originally meant to be 9 films. First he made the middle three (eps 4-6), then he made (well, shat out of his arse) the first three (eps 1-3). Which means he might be going on to make the last three.

I could go on (and on, and on, and on....) about why the prequels were so shit, but this guy (http://www.chefelf.com/starwars/ep1.php)does it so much better than I ever could.

His movies need more hard core sex scenes, maybe he could hire some european porn stars and really add some style to the star wars epic!!! Maybe even a few scenes with a couple of horny wookies!!!!!!

[Big Dave]

The power of the dark side is strong

Hey, it's his money, he's da man for doing it. Himself, his own fortune, he spends on these movies he loves. He already got enough money, he's doing it for the love of it. The man is a legend.

[Lias]

from what I've read todays announcement was along the lines that after suing everyone for doing it they are now letting fans make mashup videos of starwars footage (but only on their special website)

Alien sex-scenes! With babes like these!
