dude, I have that exact same shirt! and a double chin... I'm also trying to grow a beard...

Then you must look just like Marcia.

Beard, flannel shirt, black rimmed glasses...

Young George Lucas was such a hipster.

Great article! Come back Mrs Lucas-the-former, all is forgiven!

Interesting piece.  It also has that trench run reconstruction that I helped OCP put together for his DM.  Nice to see that get some play.

Marcia Lucas is so mainstream.

*watches a few videos*

wow, that guy is one of the unfunniest people I've ever seen. He's trying, oh you can tell that. But he fails miserably. I mean, seriously, all the videos I've seen feature the same annoying character, they're too damn long and repetitive, and just do not make me chuckle.

also, I don't see a resemblance.

And he does look like you :P

ok, now he does

I think we've established twooffour's issues with resemblances.

Wow. I had always wondered what contributions Marcia may have made and what exactly led to their breakup. Can't say I'm very surprised.

Those were interesting articles.

You'd think that Lucas would have tried to emulate the talented people he surrounded himself with in the early days of Star Wars.  Can't he see why only Han shooting is just better?

Fixed.

I remember reading this article awhile back.  I thought it was insightful.  I know I also made mention in some thread that it would be interesting if in fact the real reason George has been toying & tinkering with the Trilogy all this time was to push out any involvement she ever had with it and him....essentially writing her out of the "official history" of all things related.  Maybe out of spite, maybe to maximize his profit and his importance in the grand scheme of things.

George holding a silent grudge all this time......weirder things have happened.

I'd love to see a table sit-down discussion among Marcia, Kurtz, Kasdan, Kazanjian, and the other producers/writers/editors on the OT that were so crucial to its success.

Though I wonder if they felt strongly enough about making the behind the scenes truths known they would speak out more. Maybe they've just moved on. Last year Kurtz talked about his departure and the disagreement over ROTJ's storyline. I'd love to hear more about that, not because I desire fuel for the Lucas hate, but it's simply really interesting.

the claim that marcia looks like george is one of the strangest things i've ever read on any forum ever

 

Not sure how old you are but generally, when people date, they go for similar characteristics to themselves - perhaps unknowingly.

I can only speak for my male counterparts, but men more or less seek similar features to their mothers. So if their mother has blonde hair, they will find women with blonde hair more attractive.

It is a trifle bizarre but when you realise it, it's kinda difficult to miss.

You certainly don't speak for me.

Yeah, hovering office chair women are hard to find.

Maybe there is some sort of legal reason why Marcia stays so low.

George lost a lot of money in the divorce, Tom Rodriques seemed to have quite a bit money to spend when he divorced Marcia.

There may be all manner of legal money flurries and gagging orders fluttering around.

The Annie Arbogast rumour only bubbled up recently so there is probably a fair load of hidden truth and innuendo out there.

There again she may just had enough of it all.

My personal view is it's none of my business what happened in their personal lives.

It's a shame that a very talented woman has dropped off the map in terms of what she used to do as an artist, just as it's a shame that a once very talented man seems to spend all of his time deforming his previous work and hiding the original pieces from public view.

I would really love to see her working again and secretly I would be fascinated to see how she might have edited the SEs and PT (but keep that under your hats folks).
