He will die knowing people finally appreciate the creativity, ambition and boldness of his space epic and that makes me happy
We live.
yeah it's a shame, but a lot of elderly people do lose their grasp on reality before they die.
He probably curses the day he made Star Wars
>>220863400>lifesized Darth Vader NOOOO statue for a tombstone
>>220863197He may have gone too far in a few places
>>220863400yeah bro he totally curses becoming unimaginably wealthy sheeeeeesh
>>220863400I mean pretty much everything he's done in the past 30 years has served as confirmation that he does, in fact, despise Star Wars and everything that it is and was. He's done literally everything humanly possible to ruin it and its original legacy.
Can you retards think about anything other than fucking star wars?
>>220863197Is he still being buried in Tibet?
>>220864881Spent 8 years scripting a TV series that was never made. More $$$ than GoT. What must that do to a white man? He's definitely directing at least one more SW kino probably by 2029.
Can we all just admit that jar jar binks...was alright?
>>220863197He will die knowing Disney took a shit all over his baby and people paid to see it.
>>220863400>”I sure hate being a billionaire.”>Expands throat sac to attract mates.
The fans wanted WW2 in space with a bit of Tolkien thrown in. Lucas wanted a Saturday-morning cartoon with He-Man stuff for boys and Care Bear stuff for girls. While fans increasingly voiced their displeasure, George obstinately refused to stop the kiddie shit; in fact he took it to new heights with Jar Jar. He did put it on a brief hiatus for RotS, which is why that's the most popular of the prequels, but then he jumped right back into infantilism with The Clone Wars. The other Star Wars, the WW2 in space one, continued in the EU and in videogames like TIE Fighter, but Lucas had no interest in putting it in on the big screen again. It was inevitable that a right would grow between Lucas and the older fans.
>>220865159real Gorge Mucus noises
>>220863197The prequels are not good
>>220865469The data says you're wrong.
he just wanted to make some fun movies, not to see people dedicate their entire lives to fandom. How happy could you be with such broken deluded people worshiping you?
>>220865173>"the fans"
All the money in the world will never be able to satiate his true desire. Being a good film maker. This guy thinks he's on the same level as spielberg when they both make cringe.
>>220864908Yes, capeshit.
>>220865490CHAD gon jin
>>220863197Justice prevails.
>>220865173>nobody cares what the """"""fans""""" want
>>220863197>He will dieWell that's the important part. I'm glad his bullshit IP is dying with him
>>220863197Avellone mogged him with just one game
>>220863197He doesn´t need that kind of approval though. ILM, the company he created to be able to carry his vision for SW revolutionized how cinema is made. Do you even realize how many of the great movies could not have been done; wouldn´t exist if he had not created it? He is far more than SW.
>>220863197Watching The Phantom Menace after seeing all the prequel discourse, I realize that it’s simply a good movie. Not a “good idea executed poorly,” or “not as bad as its reputation,” it’s not “bad but not as bad as what came later,” it’s simply good. It would be good if the sequels didn’t exist, it would be good if it were the only Star Wars movie to exist
>>220868282if you ran it through the ghibli filter and sold it as anime people would love it
>>220868149i understand where you're coming from but not reallykotor 1 and 2 are however probably the only pieces of star wars media which understand star wars as a fundamental piece of art (which is as an ultimate expression of campbell's hero with a thousand faces monomyth)kotor 1 is a far purer representation of the monomyth than episode 4 but kotor 2 is a successful subversion of it
>>220863197I hope we can one day know what his true, unfiltered thoughts are on the Disney flicks. I'm sure there's a NDA that he can't speak ill of them, but he did kind of shit on TFA for being nostalgiabait that didn't break any new ground in a technical sense. He's never openly said anything about Solo or TROS, though I'm sure he would be soft on Solo since Ron Howard has been a personal friend of his for over 50 years and Lucas was a mentor to him.
>>220865490>Darth maul only at 8%>Behind AmidalaNo way that's accurate. Maul has always been the most popular thing in TPM.
I don't give a shit about Star Wars but what I'm seeing is wild to me. First of all, indie horror such as Obsession and Backrooms are outperforming Mando, the first Star Wars film in theaters in 7 years. The idea of ANY film outperforming a SW film is mindboggling. While I personally am not in the fandom, I recognize the following and cultural impact. And if that wasn't the first red flag of danger, Masters of The Universe is currently taking Mando's IMAX screenings already since Mando dropped from the number 1 spot.If this isn't a wakeup call to Disney, nothing will be
>>220864956>He's definitely directing at least one more SW kino probably by 2029.Why do you think Disney would involve George Lucas in Star Wars by 2029?
>>220863197Most of his movies have bellow 8 on imdb. quite a lot bellow 7
>>220863197nohe was more of the idea guy and a manager businessmanlucasarts is example of that and it did as much for his legacyas a director he was no good
>>220869103american graffiti is excellent tho
>>220868275So lucas co-invented MCU-slop?Shite humour, green screen etc?
>>220868849Mandalorian is hardly a Star Wars movie. It's about dumb cultists who wear helmets all the time. It was so unworthy of being a movie that Favreau blatantly said in an interview the other day hes not even sure why they told him to make it.
>>220863197GEORGE WONMIKE LIST I KNEEL
>>220863197I genuinely always liked general grivous
>>220869125and the non-specialized version of THX
>>220869204Grevious was always kino
>>220869164Kind of, ILM is responsible for non lineal editing, the birth of photoshop, Pixar (as well as much of the investigation regarding CGI and 3D animation), the evolution of puppetry and animatronics and so on. ILM was just that kind of place, many talented people started their careers or developed the technology and their skills at that place. Lucas went around searching for all these weirdos you see, invested on the development of their skill sets and researching the technology needed to achieve the results he wanted. Then he needed to keep those people together and recoup his loses so he lent ILM to some friends (which happen to be Spielberg and the like). In short, it´s not only SW, you owe him for Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Terminator 2 and many others. He sold out before things went to shit but you could also say the misuse of what he created is partially responsible for the current state of things. Tools are tools after all and once technology is out there it belongs to the world regardless of what the ones that created it hoped to use it for.
>>220869466So if ILM is responsible for good things, why and how did it all lead to green screen focus and death of real cinema?
>>220869204>>220869351If you watched the original CW cartoon, he was an absolute disappointment in RotS.
>>220869614Ki adi mundi sisters...
>>220864762Nobody takes him seriously as an artist
>>220869492That´s simple. Suits are always trying to cut costs. Originally VFX techniques were all conceived to assist the narrative, they were never meant to become a spectacle in and on themselves but to be used in tandem with all the other cinematographic techniques. Another tool in the toolbox so to speak. It is greed and hubris that have turned something that was meant to be used sparingly into what it is today.
>>220863197He'll die never knowing you exist.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZqdmfWKbb0RLM fans, please explain this...
I think George has felt frustrated by the public image of Star Wars from the start. I think he resented the idea that people said Star Wars was ONLY popular because of the special effects and optimism. Don't get me wrong, it is a good film because of those elements, but it must sting when you've been thinking about mythology and all these aesthetic ideas, but the only thing people think about is very surface level stuff. It sounds like either a backhanded compliment at best, or an insult at worst. I think Lucas was proud of The Empire Strikes Back because it basically told everyone who thought Star Wars is superficial to fuck off - it's essentially a film school bait movie that also so heavily walks the path of popular entertainment. A really strong achievement. The Empire Strikes Back flips things on its head, sometimes literally, and uses all these other disorientation techniques. And unsurprisingly the critics hated that film too, even though it bluntly presented themes that detractors said Star Wars never had. I think once Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back were definitively (and correctly) viewed as masterpieces, it felt like Lucas kind of reached a level of inner peace and just kept making whatever he wanted. Dude's a legend. And I respect the hell out of The Phantom Menace because it's so pure Lucas without any compromise. George will always be the GOAT of Star Wars.
>>220866921>>220865490
>>220871720I would have banged Ani's mother if I was him
>>220871745He caressed her shoulder in that one scene. Apparent George didn't like the physical touching, he said a Jedi wouldn't do that, but Liam Neeson said Qui Gon would do it, and he did itMoments like that also put the lie to the people who said the actors didn't push back or George Lucas dictated everything unlike the original
the prequels are shitsuck dick and eat shit
Qui Gon totally would have gone back for Shme but Obi Wan forgot about her
>>220871851That is some serious FUMING going on in your post.
Mods, please move all prequeks threads to /toy/.
The guy took Campbell in space painted over Flash Gordon plus Kurosawa and turned it into /pol/slop. He deserves the hate.
>>220871829>Apparent George didn't like the physical touching, he said a Jedi wouldn't do that, but Liam Neeson said Qui Gon would do it, and he did itBased Liam
>>220870080>Lucas not knowing his fans existYou are fucking retarded.
i hope all the prequelfags necked themselves when he dies
>>220871867>Qui Gon totally would have gone back for Shme but Obi Wan forgot about herShe was a good friend
>>220863197>ambitionlmao prequeers are literally Sonic 06fags.
>>220869794>Suits are always trying to cut costs.You're actually a fucking idiot. LUCAS produced and financed the prequels himself. It was 110% his decision to push for green screen to prove that it was a cheap effective way to shoot effects scenes. LUCAS saw green-screen slop as the future of cinema.
>>220871970You're not a fan. You're a sycophantic manchild clinging to a franchise that you're only invested in because its another front for a console war. You don't give a shit about film, and you've never watched a movie he directed that wasn't called star wars.
>>220869204Fuck yeah, he's awesome>>220869614They made him way, way, way too competent in the cartoon. Fighting multiple Jedi masters at a time, taking them out even without being armed.
>>220872075>They made him way, way, way too competent in the cartoon. Fighting multiple Jedi masters at a time, taking them out even without being armed.But wouldn't it fit in well with how the Jedi have lost their way with the force? Not to mention not having sith conflict for so long.
>>220872075>They made him way, way, way too competent in the cartoon. Fighting multiple Jedi masters at a time, taking them out even without being armed.Which was bad ass.Plus, most of the Jedi are complete shitters. Look at Jango killing Coleman Trebor in AotC.
>>220869204RotS should have not cut this scenehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSnHw8MGhvk
>>220872148NTA but if Grievous is a glorified robot, in Star Wars lore, he shouldn't be THAT good. That only works in video games with something like HK-47 etc where there's greater scope to explore
>>220872207But he was trained by Dooku though who constantly beat Obi
>>220872148>But wouldn't it fit in well with how the Jedi have lost their way with the force?Well no, that's really not something that was a part of the cartoon.https://youtu.be/tWpkPx6ONPw
>>220872212Sure. But he doesn't have any connection with the force and he's fighting Jedi. It's one thing knowing the moves, but it's the force that makes Jedi good fighters
>>220872264But they were shit with the force at the time heck Jango killed a Jedi master
>>220871879you're projectingthe only one's seething are faggots like you that have spent decades keeping these threads goingthere's no more mind raped faggots than you niggers
>>220863197>He will dieSoon I hope
>>220872281My headcanon is Trebor was ill that day and not feeling 100%. Yeah that was stupid. Idk I just feel like it makes more sense for a robot with no force connection to not be that good (yes I know there was a tiny part of him living)
>>220863400nigga, he is making an entire museum about it
>>220872207>NTA but if Grievous is a glorified robot, in Star Wars lore, he shouldn't be THAT good.Why?
>>220872319john lucas
>>220872347Because there'd be no reason not to churn out Grievouses, when just one can solo multiple Jedi Masters, who can solo entire battle droid armies barehandedAlso because it makes Vader look weak later, like he's really scary when he kills Jedi 1v1 when there was another cyborg that took them on 1v5 and won
>>22087231That's not a Star Wars museum, it's mostly non-star wars. It's a museum about narrative art. Stories in general, the interplay of art and storieshttps://lucasmuseum.org/about/our-museum
>>220872399Plenty of ways around that. Like Grievous was expensive as hell and relied on him being a great warrior even before becoming a cyborg. As for Vader, just make it so he was facing off against the best Jedi. Ones good enough to survive Order 66.
>>220864908No.
>>220865490
>>220867968I wonder how it feels to realize that, despite all the mental gymnastics, haphazardly-made memes, daily crybaby shit and tantrums, the prequels will remain terrible films, forever. Nothing can change them and what went wrong with them.
>>220867990You must think your collages full of random shit with no correlation are some kind of argument or salient point. They look like a 14 year old made them in a fit of babyrage.
>>220868310Morning, sar.
>>220869204Why don’t they just use the force to kill him?
>>220872399Grievous isn't a droid, he was an actual living being that got fucked up and heavily modified, becoming a cyborg, he still had his brain and heart
>>220872399The point was never for the Confederacy to win silly. Grevious was a patsy from minute 1. He was literally set up to take a dive. Why do you think the droids were so shit. Even in PM where they're sort of dangerous they have a ton of issues like all dying immediately if you turn their donut ship off and they lost to actual fish retards.They were patsies. A million Greviouses would've gone against the puppetmaster's intent.
>>220872207HK47 was like IG88. He's entirely held up by writing he's a scary robot. There isn't anything either could actually do to a jedi for real. They shoot blasters and talk shit or stand around.Just standard RPG bioware slop. Nothing HK even says is that convincing like when they ask him how to kill Jedi because he's supposedly so good at killing he says generic shit anyone would think of like "try grenades lol" or "ambush them".
>>220872657Yes, and you can do that with other people
>>220872693Yeah but in universe why wouldn't the Banking Clan or Corporate Alliance or whoever just make more? They want to win>they lost to actual fish retardsTo be fair they completely fucked them, they lost to the Force if anything since it let Anakin blow up the control ship
>>220872737He was right, Jedi can be ambushed and tricked and blown up. We see it happen in the films. Just because it's the generic boring obvious way to kill a Jedi doesn't detract from him, actually it makes HK more authentic
>>220872802Yeah they get jumped by 200 clones of jango fett or swamped by huge numbers of robots usually1 HK would just get tossed or crushed or chopped up. He's a joke.
>>220872881He's an assassin. He wouldn't stand in front a Jedi and try to shoot him in the fact. He's put a car bomb underneath the Jedi's speeder and collect his money without the Jedi even knowing what killed him
>>220872881He's an assassin. He wouldn't stand in front a Jedi and try to shoot him in the face. He'd put a car bomb underneath the Jedi's speeder and collect his money without the Jedi even knowing what killed himReposted with spelling mistakes corrected
>>220863197He doesn't use computers or the internet. He doesn't even have a cell phone. He just reads physical newspapers and uses a landline. Since all "APOLOGIZE" discussions are entirely online, George has no idea they exist or that everyone now recognizes he was right about everything.
>>220863197well said, George
>>220873159so you're saying they're doing it for free, where have i heard that before
>>220872489>muh antiquated "fruit posing as vegetable" website
>>220863400Nah, he knows he's set for life because of it. He'd rather just move on creatively though.
>>220875137Has there ever been a movie about a faggot pretending to be in a coma?
>>220869651You don't make art to be "taken seriously" by others. You make art to express your own creativity and passions. If others resonate with it and you make money from it that's just a bonus. The goal isn't to be revered in the industry. The opposite for Lucas actually. He hates the hollywood system.
the prequels sucked
>>220873159You're confusing George Lucas with Vladimir Putin. It's a fair mistake, they have similar legacies.
