Ah, yes. The space fantasy series known for its educational purposes.You're mentally unwell, Ranjesh.
>>217136805>The space fantasy series known for its educational purposes Yes.
>>217136780>makes pulpy sci-fi action-adventure movies>lightly inspired by some real world events in history and contemporary politics at the time to get the story moving>"these movies are for kids really">generations of insufferable retarded leftist consoomers wont shut the fuck up about how this is trans rights Antifa fuck drumpf propaganda Please shut the fuck up please shut the fuck up. None of you even watched the movies, they are silly adventure movies with puppets and singing frogs and shit. Its really not at all that serious.
i remember in one of the behind-the-scenes featurettes (honestly better than the films themselves, LotR style) he gives that whole>nobody who is evil THINKS they're evil...explanation.i get it, and in-universe you could ask any of the baddies 'are you evil?' and they'd say 'no'. even when they're talking about 'the dark side' and 'unlimited power', they still believe they're the ones doing the right thing.but really, the problem is that he has a noble-enough intention (saving Padmé) when it's also in a black-and-white fantasy world with objectively-evil dark magic. feels like the two don't mix. what if a Grey Jedi Demi-Sith used a Dark Side Power (lightning = bad, healing = good) to save innocent lives?
>>217136868And also >>217136836
>>217136868sufferable people don't use the word insufferable
>>217136868>None of you even watched the movies, they are silly adventure movies with puppets and singing frogs and shit. Its really not at all that serious.congratulations, it went over your head. Lucas successfully combined Spectacle with Drama, Comedy, AND Satyr play. it's the filmic equivalent of a catchy pop song with complex melodies and profound lyrics.
>>217136926>Star Wars>profoundIn what universe are poop jokes and fart jokes profound
>>217137011And that's the problem with the prequels; Lucas made so many soulless and cash-grabby decisions, any/all message(s) he tried to tell were ultimately muddied.
>>217136836>Were inspired by, it means it's a documentaryMentally unwell. Go take some ritalin, or whatever herbal remedy they sell in your country.

>>217136780Why he sold to disney. I wish he would make movies about Mara Jade
>>217137206
>>217137269Then why he created Ahsoka and Mara Jade?
>>217136780>dangers of war and authoritarianismWhy did he make war look cool then? George is kinda naive
>>217137289He did NOT create Mara Jade. Who told you he did?
>>217137313I think I saw a video about that. That he was consulting both Filoni and Zahn on their projects.
>>217136780I still can’t get over the fact that broccoli heads love the prequels.
>>217137312>>217136868>"these movies are for kids really"t-b-f, he never was able to keep HIS OWN STORY straight. >https://youtu.be/07wYdqUM1Hw
>>217136805>>217136836>>217136868>>217136926Very easily explained...
>>217136780I hate his hair that starts halfway down his fucking forehead, and I hate his cunty little beard that's only there to try and give him a discernible jawline.
>>217136879>nobody who is evil THINKS they're evil...How can you say this and have Palpatine as your main villain
>>217136805Fantasy and sci fi are fables based around the author's thoughts about the world and the values they want to impart on the world. It's no different from ancient legends. Otherwise no one would care since they'd have literally nothing to do with anything.
>>217137821it's actually based as fuck that he was the cackling, evil guy underneath, and the morally-dubious, manipulative politician was the veneer.all you people pretending 'shades of grey' stories are for mature, intelligent adults and good vs evil is fairytale children's stuff: Lucas CAN write the characters/stories you want, because he did. maybe Sheev once campaigned AGAINST a pro abortion bill, despite his Dark Side faith, in order to win over the popular vote in that system. at the end of the day, he still goes home to a castle made of skulls.
>>217136879>the behind-the-scenes featurettesI hate the prequels with every fiber of my being, but this is what makes them fascinating. The BTS footage is an extensive up close and personal look at the process of a creative making a project that is, for better or worse, true to his vision. You see everything, the good and the bad and the nonsensical. We’d never get that kind of thing for any Disney project.
>>217137915something has gone deeply wrong if you can't even care DESPITE an author's worldview.i like Harlan Ellison's stories, he was a crotchety old bastard and i doubt i'd agree with him on most issues. even as fiction, there's some of 'him' in there, so it's not as simple as 'separate the art from the artist'.that said, they're really good stories. both as escapist fluff about robots, and allegories on whatever real-world issue was bothering him that week.
>>217137364Lucas famously dislikes Mara Jade, which got memed into him hating her (which George played along with in that sketch where he screams at Seth Green just for bringing her up). >ZahnGeorge never collaborated with him, but he did like Zahn’s work, and used some of the elements of his stories (Coruscant, clone soldiers) when making the prequels. For a while, the official line from Lucasfilm was that the Thrawn trilogy was for all intents and purposes, the unofficial sequel trilogy. >FiloniThis one is true. Filoni was as close to an equal partner that post-OT George ever permitted, and they worked together closely when running TCW.
>>217138225>You see everything, the good and the bad and the nonsensical. We’d never get that kind of thing for any Disney project.it would be all sycophantic and positive now. even when you're starting from the premise '[franchise] is magical and important, this is for the fans!', the fans WANT to see the highs and the lows. we all know movie-making is a messy business. it's infantilising to pretend it was all wonderful and lovely and everyone was happy :-)))(see also: any time Disney makes anything about Walt Disney)
>>217138267The intent is to impart values and worldviews, which is educational. Whether you agree or disagree with them is another topic. Star wars was clearly a simplistic model of Lucas's ideas about our own world in which militaristic authority are bad nazis and any form of resistance is moral and good. It's a shitty retarded narrative yet it was created to be educational. And it worked on a lot of people in conjunction with many other such narratives that came before and after star wars. Most Americans still believe that any imposition of authority is bad and people who fight back are automatically good.
>>217137747You can say a lot about george, but his hair is glorious
>>217138351i disagree, because i think they're clearly modelled after fairytales which are intentionally simplistic. in Star Wars you could have the Great and Wise King of Prosperia IV, even though we might think hereditary monarchies are bad.(i wonder if Lucas actually got cold feet about this specific issue, Attack of the Clones goes out of its way to tell you Naboo's queens are elected and Padmé kept winning the elections, the fuck?)>Most Americans still believe that any imposition of authority is bad and people who fight back are automatically good.definitely, and sometimes this comes up in American media and it took me a while to realise how commonplace this belief is over there. they're not anarchists or something, they just view ANY state involvement as somehow a bad thing, the best state is an invisible one that does nothing.but in Star Wars, it's made clear the Empire are actually evil. the scrappy rebels are Robin Hood and his Merry Men battling against the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham. they're not just inherently correct because the Empire has power/authority.
>>217138351>>217138505It just makes you wonder then, how so many of these fans - even the ones who actually liked the prequels - ended up siding with authoritarianism (ie. Nick Fuentes and the like).
>>217138505TPM was already an anti-Republican/anti-big business in politics story, with the Trade Federation being lead by Newt Gingrich/Nute Gunray. AOTC was the first prequel created post-9/11, and so George decided to fully lean into the prequels political messaging, with a strong shift into an anti-Bush/anti-War on Terror story. For a story about a warmongering authoritarian enabling the crumbling of democracy, you can’t have one of your main good guys be a hereditary monarch.
>>217138637>a warmongering authoritarian enabling the crumbling of democracyHINT HINT
>>217136780I know man, these retards and their boomer parents are out worshipping Maduro right now trying to get him released even though Venezuelan citizens are happy - how fucking brainwashed can you get. Yes Kings, Yes Tyrants, Yes Fentanyl.

>>217136805What makes you think you can’t learn anything from a movie, Rian?
>>217138691I swear to Christ it’s like we’ve time traveled back to 2003. Yes, Maduro was a piece of shit dictator who had it coming. So was Saddam. Yes, “running” Venezuela for an indeterminate amount of time is retarded. So was occupying Iraq.
>>217138691>>217138921Except this time, there is no national emergency for OUR PoS dictator to use as an excuse to throw away countless lives and dollars beyond "MORE OIL".
>>217136780>>217136805>>217136836How does it feel to know that you failed to detect the real "St. Nicholas" in George's soap opera targeted at 12 year olds about Santa Claus' origin story?Star Wars is a critique of Dune.The Massassi as an outcrop of the Sith is George's portrayal of the Massylii as foreign allies of the Scythians.The "Dark Jedi" are the Jews that happened to have Scythian origins and/or ideals.Yes, you are in fact a lazy retard. And that is not George's fault.
>>217138916what have you learned from a movie
>>217136780Authoritarianism is good, actually
>>217136780Star Wars was Lucas’ answer to 70s bleakness. It was an optimistic throwback to his childhood serials from simpler and more optimistic times, with clearly defined good guys and bad guys, and evil is defeated in spectacular fashion by the end.>The dangers of warIf anything, it says that war is sometimes the only solution to problems that are too big to vote your way out of.
>>217137289>licensing. star wars was slapped on a bunch of shit between 83-99. some good, most bad. It kept the brand alive and allowed george to pick and choose from it when he did prequil shit. Like video game force powers
>>21713928483-99 is a fascinating period due to all the ways the EU contradicts what George would later establish in the prequels, married Jedi being the big one.

Reminder that Lucas was the one who betrayed you first. It doesn’t matter of you believe he’s brilliant. You may think Kennedy and Johnson and Abrams are evil monsters, you may blame the shills and the shitty fan community. In the end, it was George who stabbed you in the back.

It was bold when he showed 15 years of Bolshevist subversion, street battles and attempted coups against the Weimar Republic. Directed and funded by Stalin's Komintern.
