I finally watched The People vs George Lucas. Great documentary. I was glad to see that it was way more than just people complaining. They brought up some interesting points I hadn't thought of before.

That's all Folks.

Move along.

Nothing more to see here.

Star Wars officially dead.

I personally like how they made bosk more bosk-like.

I saw Star Wars in the theater in 77, when I was 7 years old. It was the greatest fucking thing in the world.

I remember Star Wars.

This is similar to the lightheartedness of the Lego Star Wars games. I'm ok with something like this because it isn't trying to be something it's not, unlike the prequels.

I watched that video and was immediately filled with disgust and contempt. I'm not sure why I even bothered to finish it, but... Three minute later I realized I was laughing. Not at the absurdity of the show, but at the jokes in the show. Fuck. I might have to watch this.

The King in Crimson · « **Reply #1304 on:** August 30, 2012, 11:59:06 PM »

There's definitely some funny in there, but there's also some laughable (not in the good way) attempts at trying to sound 'hip' and 'cool.' It could be good or it could end up being a mix of amusing and awful.

I'm guessing the latter.

Super Dude · « **Reply #1305 on:** August 31, 2012, 05:34:27 AM »

Why do I get the feeling Lucas OK'd this project just to piss off the fans?

Orbert · « **Reply #1306 on:** August 31, 2012, 07:53:01 AM »

I always forget about that angle, that Lucas ultimately okays or nixes pretty much anything that has to do with Star Wars. Even if it was "underground", Lucas probably has the resources to hunt them down and blow them out of the water. Therefore, he OK'd this.

As for why? With the plethora of fanfic out there (EU books, etc.) I think he feels that the more Star Wars, the better. I don't see a really high standard being kept.

zepp-head · « **Reply #1307 on:** August 31, 2012, 09:01:33 AM »

Well, it's an interesting situation. Not a lot of authors/producers/directors, etc. let other people make a ton of content in the worlds they created. While he does ultimately give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down, he always draws the line of "the movies are my story, everything else isn't".

Speaking of that, has anyone seen the footage for 1313?

Kotowboy · « **Reply #1308 on:** September 01, 2012, 03:15:55 PM »

According to Wiki - not only did he Ok this...

But it was HIS IDEA.

zepp-head · « **Reply #1309 on:** September 01, 2012, 07:50:02 PM »

Really? I could have sworn I heard Seth Green talking about coming up with the show and starting it two years ago.

Saw that preview - many facepalms were had. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Lucas DID sign off on that in a futile attempt to be "hip" and "relevant". Way to go, George - thank you so much for raping my childhood.

Though I love all the films and idolize Lucas as an artist and business man, I understand why some don't. I try to empathize, but comments like this make it just about impossible.

So this was interesting:

I don't know how I *just now* saw this...but I share MJ's reaction. At first, I really wasn't sure...but by the end of it, I was really laughing my butt off.

And as someone said...this is not trying to be something that it's not. It's a parody *on purpose*...unlike the prequels, which were a parody by accident. Big difference.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #1315 on:** December 10, 2012, 02:35:44 PM »

It's so obvious that it's a parody. Love all the clips - https://www.starwars.com/watch/detours/

jammindude · « **Reply #1316 on:** December 10, 2012, 02:39:26 PM »

I ask all those who had an initial negative reaction....please watch it again, but this time think of it as a clean version of Robot Chicken.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #1317 on:** December 10, 2012, 02:41:52 PM »

Totally... and there's only 6 clips, each about a minute.

Don't you get it? His name was Windu and he went out a window.

Pols Voice · « **Reply #1319 on:** December 10, 2012, 05:15:40 PM »

Um, I totally love parody. It's one of my favorite forms of humor. But that show just looks lazy and uninspired.

Well it's a parody of a parody. It's not parodying Star Wars as much as it is the people who try (unsuccessfully) to parody Star Wars.

J.J. Abrams turned down Star Wars VII

I like J.J. Abrams, but I'm happy about this news.

Star Wars with no lens flair?

...I'm okay with this.

They need to ask Joss Whedon, dammit.

I'm positive that he will be *at least invited* to do 8 or 9. But I know he won't even get approached for 7 because he's booked. (Avengers 2 and all...)

EDIT: Verified. Avengers 2 tentative release date is May 1st 2015....so it will actually be competing with the new Star Wars movie. THAT will be interesting.

Well you know which one will get my vote.

Though they'll both get my money. (Damnit!)

How do you think/hope Episode VII will start out, after the opening crawl?

I'd love to see a pan over to a nearby star, or a bright planet like Tatooine, and push in and we see a silhouette of the Falcon and we all *gasp* and go "aaaaaaaaah, Han Solo is back in the Falcon, wheeeeeeee!". But then as we get closer, and closer, and closer, we see that it isn't the Falcon at all and it's some other ship that "we have a bad feeling about" and then the movie starts.
