George Lucas Interview 

+Darkslayer Try 'God'.

Yes the Force Is With Him.

Darkslayer yep. Fck Kanye West and all the rappers and actors. This guy is the man. Guys like this, is why actors and directors have jobs.

of course he's a genius he made Howard The Duck and put a bunch of people out of work, surely that was his intention.

I wish he could have seen his true Jar Jar vision through and the true science behind the Force : Midichlorians.

Yoda was modeled after himself.

Probably the best and worst thing

@@yesterdaze114 shut up

"Brilliant, but lazy." - Doctor Octopus

That applies to every man on earth

1000% Correct

Nope, he retired

***** Not his brain, though. He could just as easily write a great movie and decide he'll just be an old fashioned director again.

***** I saw an interview where he said he's interested in getting back into experimental films.

David Norman lol you don't know him, he could do anything he wanted

David Norman he’s still making films, but they’re small, artistic independent films. He’s retired from making big budget films, not making films in general.

Id go as far as to say the Disney sequels as a whole

Damn, spot on.

I feel inclined to agree but after watching swt video the other day interviewing sequel lovers, I realise I need to watch rise of Skywalker and rewatch tfa and tlj.

Ya know, I’m meh on that film. There is at least a decent film in TLJ if you cut an hour out of it and maybe even the arguably entertaining ending (I literally started to stand before they went to hoth 2.0 but it’s salt this time thinking the film was about to end).. now JarJar Abrams? He made the most entertaining remake of Star Wars beyond what I thought would be possible.. it’s a remake. TRS tho? Omg, I can’t make a single positive comment.. no that’s not true Oscar Isaac and maybe a couple other actors weren’t offensive to all five of my senses and even the sixth sense somehow.. dumpster fire doesn’t begin to describe that film.. it’s like someone was like “what’s the biggest, most grand adventure that spans a galaxy?.. now imagine it’s all 💩 and then you somehow eat all that and 💩 it out. Rinse and repeat 5x then light it all on fire making sure to breath in all the fumes, and now make it a movie.” And that retelling, imo, is a more comprehensive story with more well rounded characters than The Last Skywalker..

Rian Johnson wasn't the problem. Of all the people responsible for the trainwreck known as the sequel trilogy, we can safely say he had nothing to do with throwing out Lucas' storylines. He also didn't make it rebels versus empire again, and he didn't turn Luke into a coward who left his friends to their fate. JJ Abrams did. Lucas DID predict Mike Stoklasa, though 21:55 😂

Don’t forget though, he did make Howard the Duck

Well said, friend. However he's not Hollywood. He became independent to get away from their toxic film culture. He's an independent Bay Area filmmaker.

​@@knownpleasuresHoward the Duck is a cult classic. It has an audience. So it may not have been successful at box office it has since found a good sized audience.

+Ethan Moore Lucas has always been an experimental film maker. When making thx-1138, he wanted it to look bizarre, like foreign to us or a foreign film. But the idea was to put you in an environment that was odd but real in a way. Phantom Menace to me is so originally different and odd. And it reminds me how Lucas does like to very much experiment. I like how he expanded this universe even if other people don't like it or get it.

+Ethan Moore who keeps saying the prequels are flawed ? How are they flawed . ? The prequels are just as good as the sequels . They are just as original . Just as exciting . Just as committed to the mythology . Lucas is the man . Great post thanks

+rick valentino yes agreed amen . Phantom menace is one of my favorite star wars movies

Steev Rawjers I am also a fan of the animated series the clone wars. Many of the people who worked on that expanded much more of the Star Wars universe in a cool way expanding on the movies. Getting deeper into the stories I still have not seen all the episodes but I'm currently watching them to catch up so I can get to the Rebels episodes. Ahsoka is one of my favorite characters. And George Lucas had a say in many of the episodes and details. It kind of takes you back. Now that Star Wars has gone in a new direction. I will say Rogue one looks awesome. Star Wars I think is In good hands. But some of Lucas's magic will be missed at least by me. You will never see stuff quite like what he did. Even though there are people out there that try to take the credit from George, there wouldn't be a Star Wars if it wasn't for him.

rick valentino true

Absolutely perfectly said

It's his art. He can do what he wants with it. No artist is under any obligation to please you.

People always attack what they don't understand. It's so easy with George. He's very open but instead they look at him through an emotional response mindset instead of a logical more rational one. If they did they'd see what a true visionary and artist looks like.

+Can Ozan TED talks are garbage

Phreaker1997 Exactly what I was gonna say. TED talks are the shittiest most useless brain garbage made to waste people's time.

This is deep and meaningful. It doesn't belong to Tedx.

That could only result in a mass dissemination of Viagra.

he should have a time traveling device so that every time he died he would have to die brutally again and again again.

I heard he's writing the script to the new Jar Jar spinoff films. He claims to have created a real life Jar Jar by screwing with the genetics of a kangaroo. Jar Jar park?

Vinny stfu

VinnyPizzaLover Oh definitely, I can't wait for that day

BBS narky I totally agree with you

BBS narky Well, he didn't lose anything! Just because it wasn't like how you imagined it doesn't make it any less good!

BBS narky Art From Adversity.

***** yes, but the technology still limited him, as to not ruin it.

+William J. Cadet American Graffiti did make his career. It was the 3rd highest grossing movie of 1973 and it's what made the studio approve Star Wars.

Unusual Hammerhead Jar Jar went to far in a few places

+‫[עוג] Alabaster Stone‬‎ meesa thinks you wrong

+‫[עוג] Alabaster Stone‬‎ jar jar collaborated with darth sidious to create the Galactic Empire

+Alabaster Stone jar jar is hilarious

Oh, like you've never made mistakes, Mister Perfect.

+Johnnie Torch Judging from what he tried to do with the original trilogy, probably himself lmfao

I think it is a question/ answer interview so the questions are edited out.

Johnnie Torch Marcia Lucas

He edited it himself to see the reaction of his friends.

Archonis The Great Thanks for helping me growing as a person, Archonis!

+Hornanvasara God damn you just got ROASTE D

S R DHAIN it sucks how the world is now.

YUP! and the prequels were great! people who expect what they want to see and then expect it to appear on screen are insane. the prequels did their job well and as a bonus besides the adventure we got a political thriller essentially as well and that is not easy to put together given as complex as a Star Wars film is as is. Disney threw the final skywalker story in the Trash that i waited since i was a kid to see and changed and ruined the legacy characters. it is sad very very sad. :(

william dechant sorry but the best thing to say about those prequels are they had decent DVD documentary extra's.

I hate he was lied to about keeping the characters true to his vision.

nope. Disney's middle name is hope. Disney's middle name is Inspiration and innovation. You are just throwing a tantrum. It's useless acknowledging you but YOLO.....hmph ha

@@DechantMusic I would have rather seen this documentary rather than the Phantom Menace.

A long time ago

Igor Flexus a long time ago in a galaxy far far away

He did asked directors if they wanted to direct Episode 2 & 3, but they turned it down, so he had to do it himself.

So neutral that you had to mention them. Yeah. Ok.

+pushMatrix that really gets me is when there's something I see as being great works of art, and people don't appreciate it, it gets little attention, etc. Like all the gold on RU-vid, while tons of garbage gets lots of views.

+pushMatrix also on Howard the duck equals totally cool movie . Right up there with Roger rabbit

Steev Rawjers Howard the duck didn't seem too bad when I was a kid.

willow was awesome. i wish that would have been a trilogy.

We don't talk about that...
