Yet ANOTHER DVD boxed set...*sigh*

Maybe it's the retailers that have asked for a boxset of the (existing) prequel DVDs ?  Retailers do like selling us tons of boxsets for Christmas !  The prequels were one of the last movie series not available in a boxset, and it just make sense to repackage the Original Trilogy to go along the Prequel Trilogy boxset...

These aren't the DVDs we're looking for... Move along...

WHAT THEY HATED

- The Falcon exiting hyperspace near Yavin.- I don't get it, it's such a short shot, and it still looked good IMO.


The shot by itself is perfectly done, but it's because of the following shot that it doesn't work well. In a movie, when you follow a moving object from shot to shot, the object must always go in the same direction. But here, we have the falcon exiting hyperspace and going from the top to the bottom of the picture, and then in the next shot she goes from the bottom to the top! It puzzles the viewer: did the falcon just turned back?

He can be seen wearing the shirt in the Episode 2 web docs in Tunesia.


Is it this text on the shirt: "a film with comic-book characters, an unbelievable story, no political or social commentary, lousy acting, preposterous dialogue, and a ridiculously simplistic morality. In other words, a bad movie." ?

He has said that since after the first movie, in 1977!

"Also, I figured the merchandising along with the sequels would give me enough income over a period of time so that I could retire from professional filmmaking and go into making my own kind of movies, my own sort of abstract, weird, experimental stuff."

TPM: In other words, a BAD MOVIE.

In the book <span class=“Bold”>The Cinema of George Lucas</span>, there is two photos of George Lucas, on the set of <span class=“Bold”>The Phantom Menace</span>, wearing a black t-shirt, with a white text on it that says:

<div class=“PostQuote”>STAR WARS™:
“…a film with comic-book characters, an unbelievable story, no political or social commentary, lousy acting, preposterous dialogue, and a ridiculously simplistic morality. In other words, a BAD MOVIE.”</div>

Maybe, with the prequels, Lucas tried to prove that sentence wrong?

(by the way, the quoted text above comes from this 1997 New Yorker article)
