Lucas doesn't have enough money. He has to take a run at the person who built the suits to begin with. Lucas really can be disgusting.

I have to admit I have not read all of the Star Wars threads. After all, the Star Wars discussion here has to be the biggest thread ever on HTF. Generally, I do not believe that anyone who takes the time to post into this thread really hates Star Wars or George Lucas. I really believe that any...

:laugh: You guys just tell me where you're meeting. Of course, after eating any Chicken salad I might make, you all might think that I had signed on as Palpatine's secret new Sith apprentice. On another note, my man Darth gets religion. Darth Vader Joins Church, Church Not Happy -...

Terry, Thanks for the info, especially regarding total ticket sales. I find it easier to understand the impact a film had by its actual ticket sales vs. its box office take: total ticket sales are unaffected by any inflation factor, unlike a dollar amount. I'm surprised to learn that STAR WARS...

Well, a person who was not a STAR WARS nut might say such a thing if a documentary overly friendly to George Lucas was made, so I don't entirely agree with you. Also, I don't agree that a "love letter" doco is automatically unsaleable, especially where it concerns this particular fillm. STAR...

That bit about a "founder" of the Jedi Church being assaulted made me curious. I looked it up. Good for a chuckle. BBC NEWS | UK | Wales | North West Wales | Drunk Darth Vader's Jedi assault I also thought the blurb on this site was good for a laugh. Founder Of Jedi Church Attacked In Yard By...

:laugh: I guess that's the truth. SW is the only film that I went to see at least 10 times theatrically, including the time I saw it in re-release. I stopped going when the "Special Editions" were released in the theatres. At that point, it stopped being "my" STAR WARS and became someone...

I wonder, would people be telling these interviewees to "get over it" or "move on" if the documentary was a "love letter" to Lucas? Also none of them sounded particularly bitter, except maybe the guys singing about their childhood being raped which always makes me laugh since it sounds so...

It's a three minute trailer. Maybe people should wait for and watch the entire show before showering condemnation on the people being interviewed. All of those clips are being taken out of context of the participants full interviews. They are sound bites that are leading to conclusions which may...

I don't disagree with any of the points you have made.

IMO, STAR WARS as a phenomenom has less to do with the actual movies and more to do with its merchantibility as a concept. STAR WARS remains in the public mind because Lucas succeeded in building an empire of toys and merchandise that continually keeps the STAR WARS brand name fresh in people's...

I didn't get that vibe from the audience I was sitting with. For the most part, the vibe was positive, even though I still think the animation quality is not theatrical calibre. Hell, I may even go see it myself, just to see if the story is any better than the first three live films.

Yes, that was my point. The "film" is not theatrical quality so releasing it theatrically magnifies its weaknesses ala the character animation. Lucas should have just stuck to releasing this as a typical television premiere.

I guess I should clarify. I'm not saying that he should have made the characters look "realistic". A lot of times, in animation, "realistic" characters actually look less realistic and life-like than caricatured ones do. I did not have a problem with the "cartoony" look of the characters. The...

So what? What has that got to do with anything? The Clone Wars part of the Star Wars universe is an intriguing concept. The story in this "cartoon" might actually be quite good. My complaint is that if he is going to produce a theatrical feature then spend the time and money to breathe "life"...

I saw the trailer for Clone Wars in front of (I believe) Speed Racer. The character animation on the film looked second generation. Hair didn't move, body movements looked stiff and unnatural and facial movements looked stiff. People complained about movies like Polar Express and Beowulf. Well...
