What does Richard Burton have in common with the Star Wars?
Richard Burton was Welsh, which is the reason some Star Wars fans are suggesting Marquand who was Welsh for a name memorial at the new Pinewood studio in Cardiff which in Wales.
Think it through.
Other than his work on Jedi what work of major significance did Marquand do?
Burton was a theatrical and cinematic giant, with a huge body of work behind him many of which were filmed at Pinewood.
It's well known that Richard was hired because he would not make waves, would be on budget on schedule and act as yes man to Lucas' production requirements.
When Lucas made the PT his reputation fell through the floor, when Jedi was getting criticism for things like the Ewoks it was Richard who diverted much of the attention away from George. Ergo my description.
This thread was created merely to pay homage to the director of ROTJ by giving a link to the petition, not to discuss what you personally think or not of him. There have to be lots of threads dedicated to this subject you may want to visit instead.
You made a thread on a DISCUSSION BOARD not a shrine site. If you wish there to be no discussion just a notification there are lots of sites (like Twitter or Youtube) where you can make an announcement and block discussion.
I started a thread over on the off topic section which has links to petitions.
I fully expect some people to discuss the topics and express their opinions on the petition subjects. That's what these boards are for.
