George Lucas: Project Happiness Interview 

@ScreechingBlueHairFeminist truer words have never been spoken. may the force be with you

@ScreechingBlueHairFeminist shut up Just because you didn’t like a movie doesn’t mean the people involved are idiots

@@kisaragitown3934 calm down pal. Also they arent idiots, they're good at making money, but that's it. So much meddling was done on these star wars movies, not one disney star wars movie had smooth production. Lucas ran into many issues but creative decisions wasnt one. Disney arent stupid, they're just ignorant on how certain movies should be made

Amen to that!

@@joemorton9200 purposefully warping a legendary intellectual property beyond repair just to lose billions of dollars. No, not stupid at all.

George Lucas is the greatest story teller ever

I guess it's kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good place to watch new movies online ?

@Beckham Emerson Flixportal =)

@Tristan Kason Thank you, I went there and it seems to work :) Appreciate it!

@Beckham Emerson you are welcome xD

Slim Daddy did he? He had plenty of money from the six movies he made before hand and by owning Lucasfilm and ILM. He actually likely lost money by selling since he no longer get royalties from the Star Wars brand. I mean disney have only made four movies so far and have already made back what they spent.

Slim Daddy I don't think he wanted to sell it. There is a reason why he called Disney white slavers in Charlie Rose

@I am Supernaut he didn't need the money, he was already a billionaire. in another interview he explains he wanted to stop making star wars and make more experimental movies but had 2000 employees. so he couldn't let them down and decided to sell star wars so they can still have a job. kinda not selfish at all.

@I am Supernaut no he didn't He hated Hollywood but as he got older and fans got more intense (with the rise of social media etc...) He thought maybe he should sell to a company he once trusted but not really anymore

@@LFPAnimations he actually does technically still get money because if you ever look at the credits it says based on characters created by George Lucas so he still gets payed a little bit Also I'm pretty sure he still owns the Disney stock but I'm not sure He is the richest independent film maker with a net worth of 6.4 billion as of 2019

Based on an interview I watched today of his lovely wife Mellody I'd say he no doubt is. Plus he stopped making films after Return of the Jedi in part because he wanted to raise his first three kids. George is such a great man!

Glad you enjoyed!

@@MMSvalues Please try to do another interview with George Lucas. I really enjoyed this one and could listen to him for hours. Thank you.

He actually is! So we're told though! They approached him for story treatment for Episode IX

@@DionSidney GL did for 7 and 8 too, but Disney doesn't actually take his advice or suggestions as we saw how Disney treat GL and Star Wars

Plo Koon He’s not exactly the best person to be in charge as shown in the Prequels. The reason why the original movies turned out great was because he wasn’t in total control.

Blake Bolin he was in control of the originals. He got final cut and the studio butted out of his business on the original film, thanks to Alan Ladd, Jr., and he chose the directors for the sequels to the original and he worked with them to make Empire and Jedi as great as they are. He was very important in the success of Star Wars. Time to stop with the lies that he pretty much contributed very little to Star Wars with the OT. People did challenge him on the prequels when you watch the various documentaries, featurettes, interviews and listening to the commentary. You can hear people working with Lucas expressing how certain things may not be done how he’d want them to be done. He compromised and things were changed to be able to fit his vision as well as those working behind the scenes would be able to have a bit of a load lifted off their shoulders. The new Star Wars films are corporate fiction. They’re made by a company that believe they know what the audience wants, yet the audience isn’t happy with the latest trilogy. Either at the beginning or by the end, a number of people who were huge fans of the Disney trilogy have turned and see how they’re just rehash films with very little new offered. Reboots disguised as sequels. George Lucas had a vision for new films, those at Disney and Lucasfilm didn’t. If they ever did have one, it was thrown out the window when Episode VIII was being made.

@@bbolin5626 he directed a new hope. The prequels just didnt work out the way he thought and there were flaws, but the overall story was brilliant

Well said! 👏

I agree. I have my opinions too and I think it him and the old good Star Wars everyday. I pledge the rest of my life to fight and make stories like George did and still can do

george lucas might spare a seat for god

That wealth of wisdom gave them the reins! He sold it for a reason.

@@craighicksartwork well maybe he thought it was best for the franchise as he still wanted creative control. And of course some of the backlash of the prequels but he did offer his services and was turned away

That's crazy, that was also my 13th birthday! Our age difference is likely only a matter of hours.

theres a pretty fine 180 line, plus with the 3 camera set up i would say they have a boom mic overhead

You really have a poor man's point of view if this is the best comment you can make about this wonderful interview...

Don’t mock or patronize me devil

A thief?
