Movies and TV Shows

As a non Star Wars fan who just re-watched Phantom Menance, what the fuck are you talking about Georgie? I like the original trilogy well enough, but to say Star Wars has cohesive ideas and themes is ludicrous. You jumped the shark when the 7th word on screen was "taxation" in Episode 1. Not to mention when a 7 year old Anakin Skywalker raced a hover jet to buy his freedom from a thinly veiled Jewish epitaph

Everyone who comes to Star Wars does their own thing with it and most of it is goofy as shit. Hell, even the original Yoda was an actual Muppet. Star Wars at best was a metaphor against the Vietnam War, but even that was pretty loose. I think George has an over-inflated sense of ego about what Star Wars actually is

There's never a wrong time to share the Mr. Plinkett Prequel Reviews

First off, George Lucas should shut the hell up. Second, he's not entirely wrong.

Yeah no shit

This is the best summary I could come up with:

‘I’m a stubborn guy and I didn’t want people to tell me how to make my movies,” is how Star Wars creator George Lucas summed up the secret to his success, speaking to a crowd of fans at a packed Debussy theater in Cannes Friday afternoon.

The 80-year-old filmmaker was being honored at the 77th Cannes festival with a Palme d’Or for his contribution to cinema, and the crowd, a much younger cohort than usually seen at these events, whooped and hollered as Lucas walked on the stage.

His THX-1138 co-writer and sound designer Walter Murch was in the audience as Lucas recalled how Warner Bros didn’t want to send the duo to France for the premiere, forcing them to scrape together the money themselves.

The film also caught the eye of Allan Ladd Jr., then head of production at Fox, who approached Lucas after a screening and said, the director recalled: “You got any other movies?

“The studios didn’t have licensing departments…it took longer to design a toy than it did to make a movie,” he recalled, and how he got control of the sequel rights, in part because Fox at the time was teetering on bankruptcy.

The negative response to his Star Wars prequels, Lucas argued, came from “critics and fans who had been 10 years old when they saw the first one” and didn’t want to watch a children’s film.

The original article contains 1,004 words, the summary contains 233 words. Saved 77%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

lol, ya think?

Star Wars (no, I will never ever call it that other thing) The Empire Strikes Back Rogue One Andor The Mandalorian Solo

that's it, that's the whole list. and no I didn't forget that one (killer jungle teddy bears my dick). you can keep every other bastard "Star Wars" thing they've tried to foist on us, which has all every one make me feel run over and used for either my cash and/or my time.
