Star Wars Episode VII, VIII, IX George Lucas original story outline, scripts, treatments or his ideas
Time

well i certainly miss lucas’ major input in the movies. the man was the very core of star wars - something that’s been clearly missing since he’s been gone imo. one can’t simply replace the core of something like star wars.

continuing a conversation me, dom and coffee had on another thread: i don’t think one can separate creation from creator in this case. to me, it’s just like if 4 guys all of a sudden bought the beatles’ rights and simply decided to produce new albums under the name of “the beatles” - they wouldn’t be the actual Beatles at all.

coffee gave me a very good example as counter argument though - comics - where you have multiple authors. so if i consider the disney star wars movies fan fiction, i’d have to consider 99% of comic books fan fiction. i’m not sure how to respond to that yet, but maybe i do consider all those 99% fan fiction. oh well.

i just wish lucas was still sort of the mastermind behind star wars.

It’s a great time to be a Kim or Trump lookalike though. 😉

The guy is good at what he does. After years of US warmongers, I salute one US president who’s really doing what he promised. In France we have Macron, an anti-social capitalist, twin brother of Trudeau. You get to have Trump in the US and you dare complaining about him 😄

is this actually what you think?

kingdom of the crystal skull. i don’t get the hate.

I thought it was boring compared to its predecessors, and occasionally fell into moments of self-parody, but it’s not terrible or anything. Half-hearted is an apt description.

Not to mention it tries to be different, but it’s too scared to not be familiar, so it fails at doing the new stuff, and it fails at doing the old stuff.

by the way, i totally disagree here. Spielberg once said, and i quote “it’s a blood relative to the other three pictures”. so while i think the first part of your post is right, i disagree completely with the second.

yep, he shits on tlj, unfortunately. but it’s an interesting way to compare the two.

Classic. I really liked IW but I don’t think it’d hold up super well to intense story scrutiny, especially in comparison to a much better film.

i do believe that Episode IX has a much higher chance of sucking than the next Avengers though.
