Looks like the prequels are not aging well.

I was reading a quote from Rick Mcallum on the live action tv show and he said ""It’s about who’s talented, who’s got the strength to challenge George"  lol.  Talking about hiring writers and directors. 

Funny the yes men who did not have the strength to challenge George are the whole reason we have the prequel films we got.  If george brought in oustide writers and dirctors and gave them a general outline but free reign rather than having an iron clad grip over star wars to its utter ruin where would the sagas legacy be now, probably a lot better off.

I mean come on you got a film giant like Spielberg who faced down Lucas over the bad crap in Indiana Jones IV and the Stubborn bearded one ultimetely won.  Lucas called it a compromise i call it ruining Spielberg's film.

This dude is the last person i would ever want to collaborate with if i was in the film business, whereas the old Lucas from back in the day you would have wanted to collabrate with or get his help on a project.

 

Does Gary Kurtz  gets too much credit or not enough credit for being the producer of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back.  Howard Kazanjian took over for Return of the Jedi.  And then we got the Young Indy producer for the prequels, god i won't even say the guys name. To Howards credit despite people thinking he would fail he did a great job on Raiders and a somewhat okay job on Jedi though Rotj is like the greatest film ever made comapared to those crap films starting in 1999.
