agreed , the subject of effort you mention was also mentioned in the first field notes video of Ahmed Best I posted that got glossed over

that could be true , however , I do feel compelled to point out that abuse is not just a physical thing and being wealthy does not mean one is immune to it .

maybe , he was under no obligation to do so however .Don’t get me wrong , I am all for the OUT being released , I just think it is plausible that his reaction was knee jerk and retaliatory . but that is just speculation , I don’t know the man personally .

George was quoted as saying in 2012 , " Why should I make more when everyone yells at you and says what a terrible person you are ?"…granted , he came back after the Disney merger ,had a meltdown , then came to acceptance and then came back to support all the subsequent productions .I watched Mark Hamill’s ceremony for his star on the walk of fame earlier this year and George Lucas and Harrison Ford attended , an interviewer asked Lucas about Star Wars and he said he had nothing to say . I think he is still going through the stages of grief. He did say it was like a divorce after all . Also . on the subject of Jar Jar , Ahmed best has started doing some field notes on the backlash of his character , seems he feels George could have stuck up for him a bit more …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoRD_SfIbwE

it’s ok , he was just flame baiting , it can be hard not to want to react to that kind of behavior , and hey folks , lets not use this thread to mock each other either please. After Adywan’s post in here earlier today ,and this encounter , I would like to think we can all learn something and be cool .

SilverWook would you kindly wipe my account off your site? I don’t want any association here anymore. Politics have officially infultrated Star Wars and now the franchise is dead to me. They don’t want my white male nerd input and I don’t blame them.

If you’re going to throw a fit because you can’t take over a single thread, no problem. All you had to do was restrict your arguments to threads where the debate is open and welcome, or create your own.

I’ve locked your account to prevent further spamming of this thread.

Thank you Jay

I can’t see that statement as anything but inflammatory and conjecture as to what the fanbase is or is not made up of , see the OP and kindly stop , or exit the thread .

that would be ideal. Sadly , I think he might be met with the same behavior . And at the 10th anniversary Star Wars convention , Gene Roddenberry attended and shook George’s hand and George told him of how he used to stop and watch Star Trek re runs everyday while writing the scripts for Star Wars .It was documented in Starlog magazine

and I would also like to quote one Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan The Barbarian …" civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split , as a general thing ."

Adywan , I have experienced this kind of behavior as well , directed at myself both online and offline .It’s pathetic and online it seems to be a lot of people who come out of nowhere to be dicks . If those kids you encountered came at me like that , I would have told them to go eat a Tide pod !

Ugh, why do they put politics in my space Nazi movie.

But seriously this looks cool. I wonder if there are Official guidelines for fanfilms to follow in order to stay legal. Calling something “A Star Wars Story” would likely run afowl of those rules.

lol , and regardless of running ducks ,I think it looks cool too . I am also glad to see it being made and think it is an important project . now THIS is standing up !

yeah , I am hoping the Star Wars content they get around to streaming will have a blu ray release , personally , I think the streaming model is going to implode eventually , I mean , I already pay for cable , netflix and an internet connection and can’t afford any more . It seems like every big studio is starting up these streaming services now .
