Actually guys, I think Jimbo did spell the Bard's name right. At least in terms of how Lucas dealt with it. It truly becomes "Shackspeire" with the emphasis on "hack".
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Sheba, I doubt Natalie is even remotely close to you. Honestly, from what I can tell based on what I read on your page, very few women are you.

"Watto, Jar Jar, Dex, Boss Nass....even though they aren't human you just cant recreate the realism of some of their movements or facial expressions..."
But my point is that you don't get even that close with rubber masks. The OTHER "Why Bother" reason is the same reason effect have been used and have continued to evolve since the beginning of the century...because use pushes development, refines and improves the art. Every time you do a shot, you learn something you can use on the NEXT shot. Pure R&D certainly plays a part, but actual practical application of what you learn in R&D drives the artform forward.
Anyways, at least I think we CAN all agree that Lucas needs 1) a writer 2) an executive producer who's not affraid to say "NO George".

Everybody is afraid to say "NO George." He'll just fire you if he doesn't get his way. He's the artist, after all. What he says, goes.

I'm sure McCallum says it all the time... he's the one controlling the strings.
Anyone notice that Star Wars only went downhill when good ol' Rick got involved? He's controlling Lucas' mind, kind of like the King in Two Towers.

"No, George, I don't think Jar Jar is going to look goofy. Go ahead and use him!"
"No, George, I like the midichlorian idea, run with it!"
"No, George, it doesn't matter who Sifo-Dyas is. Nobody is going to care!"
"No, George, people will accept the love story. They'll eat it up!"
You mean "no, George" like that?

Midichlorian idea was great. Also George stated in the commentary for Attack of the Clones that Sifo-Dyas and the file mystery will be explained in Revenge of the Sith.

I put the Sifo-Dyas thing alongside Anakin's turn to the Dark Side. Once my retinas are seered by CGI run rampant, and I'm exposed to awful dialogue and stiff-as-a-board characters again, I won't really care about either.

i mentioned it in here before that in some documentry footage of Lucas we see him talking to Rick and says "Jar Jar is the key to this movie"
now maybe thats what Lucas had in mind at first... which is fine... but when he gave him the part that he did in the movie...
how is he key??
it didnt make a lot of sense..
but of course Rick nodded with a very concentrated look on his face...
almost as if he was thinking.. what is this guy talking about...
thats just my take on it...

He actually said that?! My mind boggles.
It would explain a great many things, though.

Personally I don't like McCallum. I can't quite put my finger on why, but he strikes me as an ass kisser. I don't see what his purpose is other than to say, 'yes George' to everything. I know he's producer, but really. Isn't a producer supposed to keep a director sort of in check instead of just agreeing with everything?
Luke, the 'Jar Jar is the key to this movie' line is in referrence to the CGI work. What was meant is that if they can pull off Jar Jar, then they were home free as far as the rest of the CGI. Anything after Jar Jar would be a piece of cake. And the world of Star Wars hasn't been the same.

I, personally, wouldn't go that far. Just saying that model assisted FX(Nemesis, First Contact, LOTR, etc) tend to work better than ones without(Insurrection). My point was that the SE wasn't up to snuff with stuff ILM had just done. They are better than they've shown, you know it, and I know it.
