Maybe if the studio's had more influence, TPM wouldn't be so bad.

Why didn't someone ask "Lucas, why won't release the OOT on DVD and allow people to choose for themselves?" ?


Just once I wish Lucas would and get stuck with an interviewer that would grill him on the OOT DVD issue and make him squirm and sweat.

i wish lucas would get stuck with an interviewer who'd grill him on ANYthing. it's all this softball bullshit serving the LFL hype machine and building up their "George is a genius who wrote six perfect movies in 1973" party line.

Yeah. How does George get so damned lucky? My guess is that, if a tough interview does come along, Rick McCallum comes around later, kills the interviewer, hides the body, takes the tape, and destroys it, so no one will know the interview ever took place.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

That's it exactly.
Most likely, the interviewers and the publications\companies they work for have to submit interview requests to LFL's PR department weeks in advance. Interviewers are given a list of acceptable topics as well as a list of questions that are off limits. All questions are screened, as is the final interview, by a LFL representative or Lucas.

Actually, they'd just take the tape, convert it to a digital image, and in place of the interviewer, they'd CGI Jar Jar singing "somewhere over the rainbow....".

and then maybe the ghost of Judy Garland would rise from the grave and beat up Lucas.

And then, George, in his daze after being beaten up, will get pissed at whoever destroyed our national heritage by adding color into most of The Wizard of Oz. ^_~

I hate ti semi-burst your bubble, but all questions by all interviewers are screened for celebrity interviews as well. Even they do things like what your saying to create a certain kind of image for a celebrity.

But ANH would have sucked....i.e. no final battle on the Death Star.

I assume you meant adding color to the begining and end scenes, that of course would be terrible.

No, actually, I just meant that George might be confused and not realize that those color parts had always been there.
