George Lucas shouldn't be on the commentary for Empire or Jedi. especially Empire. He clearly does not like ESB and hated making it. Kershner doesn't even remember directing the film. His commentary on the ESB dvd is like he is watching it for the first time. I read that during the making of Empire and Jedi George Lucas was never seen and when he actually showed up he would look like "why the hell do I have to be here". Then when asked if he thought a shot was good he would say "well it's good enough" The sad thing is he started out a great film maker, then after Raiders of the lost Ark he thought people wanted a summer thrill ride. People didn't care about story and all they wanted was explosions and action. I get in the mood for movies like Independence Day once in a while but I just wish directors would think about why they got into film making. It is the same with music. Look at Metallica (the most talked about band of all time) They started out wanting to melt faces, change music, and have a damn good time. Then in about 1990 they released the black album (to some it was a bad album, to me their last good album) They saw that the music they were making was dead and thought lets follow the trend so they released LOAD and after that each album got worse. The same thing with film making. Film makers look at every film in the box office to use as an example for their films.
