There's a reason for that. You should carry on watching. -

Uh...hate to state the obvious, but that's the joke. -

Yes, I know. Which is why I said "deliberately"
Ok. You said 'felt he was doing it deliberately', suggests you didn't know he was doing it as a joke. -

Registered 16 years agoI disagree that it was Lucas' omnipotence that failed the trilogy. To me it seems typical of design by committee. No one opposed him, because they had created the shit he was signing off. -

Registered 17 years agoThe look on their faces after the private screening is something special. Even Lucas realises he just squeezed out a giant, nonsensical turd. -

Registered 17 years agoI don't think anything that was physically created was particularly shit, such as costumes, CGI, settings, vehicles.
I think it was more just the way everything was structured in terms of the story and characters, which was ultimately up to Lucas. That's my take anyway.
Lucas' omnipotence was only suggested at the end anyway (OK, massively suggested), but anything people discuss will be pure speculation anyway. -

Yes, sure, each individual space ship or monster or character or vehicle or architectural design was done by other people and signed off by him, but it's blatantly obvious even without this particular review that the 3 new films themselves, particularly the meandering nonsensical script and the distinct lack of a decent plot, any depth or plausible progression to the characters, all that stuff that a director would imbue the film with, that's all completely and utterly down to him and the fact that nobody would ever say "That's probably not a great idea, George."

Registered 20 years agoAnyone got a link to that brainstorming session between Spielberg and Lucas on Indiana Jones? Lucas very clearly needs a peer there to say, 'No, no, that would be shit. How about..?" -

Registered 13 years agoIf you were a kid watching the new movies, who would you actually WANT to be?
Think about it - when you played Star Wars as a kid, everybody argued about who got to be Han Solo. He was cool and roguish and dodgy. If you couldn't be him, you'd be Luke, because you got to use Force Powers, wield a light saber and snog your sister. And if all else failed, even Chewbacca was good, as he was big and strong and fighty.
Cut to The Phantom Menace and kids get to be the stupid, pig-headed old man with a beard, the whining German tourist-haired Jedi-in-training who complains a lot, a stupid bumbling kid, a stupid bumbling alien with big ears or the Chancellor.
