But wasn't your theory in that other thread was that he was just trying to raise his post count? Besides, Shim just said he considered all that pointless bickering to be joking...

I know, but the Natalie Portman in the scene was real, and, even if she wasn't, her voice was. All the more reason why she would have been caught if she'd said Hayden, which is why I think she didn't. Say all you want about George Lucas, but he wouldn't have let that slide.

That's the same thing I was thinking, Ric. Of all the times I've heard of when an actor breaks character and calls another character by his/her real name, it's when the relationship between the two actors causes that break of concentration. She'd have to really be out of the moment to get Hayden and Anakin confused when he wasn't even there! Besides, the filming of the scene wasn't as hazy as it appears on the screen. Someone would have noticed and made them retake. The only time people get away with that is during a noisy crowd scene when the director can't notice.

I could be wrong, too. I've played that game, but I don't own it. But most video game tunes (except in situations like RPG FMVs) are MIDIs due to the need to seamlessly loop (plus, they take up less space). But, what can I say? Sound processors on consoles nowadays are so advanced that I occasionally have trouble telling the difference.

Well, technically, that's MIDI too, but a much more advanced type of MIDI that actually has a chance at sounding like a real orchestra as opposed to the beeps of the past.

Geez, you know Gary Kurtz is loved when even my thread about his successor ends up talking about why Gary Kurtz and George Lucas no longer make movies together.

So, again, anybody know why Howard Kazanjian and George Lucas no longer make movies together?

I'd actually be interested in hearing it, but I don't see how it could possibly compare to the original, in all its Famicom MIDI-rendered glory!

Hehe, for some reason, Darth Simon, I have the urge to make that my new favorite insult. Someone pisses me off, I'll just yell, "Go start a hat thread or something!" and see what they'll do.

Yeah, but still, in those video games (take Battlefront, for example), it also takes about 17 laser blasts to kill you, while in the movies, it usually takes one.

Sorry, I didn't word that the way I meant to. I guess I should have said "if they had continued to work together." But my point remains the same. Things might have been different if George had continued to have Gary's influence.

Well, your response begs the question to be asked: Is it really better that he left? You have to wonder what Star Wars would have been like if George had kept Gary around.

Are you asking if anyone can tell you why Gary Kurtz isn't in the prequels? I remember someone posted a thread recently that directed to an interview with him. Long story short, though, by the time they got to Return, Gary didn't like the direction that George was taking the movies. He felt that George was more interested in action than story, didn't agree with things like the second Death Star. They fought a lot, so they just decided to go their separate ways.

Hmm, thanks for the info. That's some really interesting trivia about his personality. He really didn't seem that way from the interviews. He seemed kinda... bald. I'm not quite sure what I mean by that, but I guess it means he seems jolly. Okay, I'm just confusing myself now.

Anyway, I never really thought of him as a hardass because George chose him as a producer replacement for Gary Kurtz, who was disenchanted with George's direction in Star Wars. As such, I figured his replacement would be a little more pliant, much like the image Rick McCallum seems to have now. So does anyone else know what happened to cause their fallout?

That's an interesting choice, although I can't quite put my finger on where you derived it.

As far as I know, he was only involved in one Star Wars movie as the producer of Return of the Jedi. However, there is a lot of interview footage of him in Empire of Dreams, and some of it is even well before Return. Based on his own testimony, it sounds like he was pretty well-entrenched in Lucas's braintrust at the time. Lucas almost named his third movie Revenge of the Jedi because of him. Kazanjian even advised Lucas which plot of land to buy for Skywalker Ranch. If they were so close, where did he come from? How did Lucas end up picking him to replace Gary Kurtz? And why did Rick McCallum replace him? What's the story with this guy?
