would be rad if the originals were the actual stars of this movie

Really they just should re-release episode IV as episode VII. It would rhyme, like poetry.

Old Harrison Ford starring in a late sequel with a flame from the first movie. What's the worst that could happen?

glad these characters are coming back. I've seen more star wars movies in teh past two weeks than I care to admit (all of them, multiple times, thanks to my kid). back to back with the originals its obvious how terrible the prequels are, muddled plots, no humor, heavy heavy heavy and long. Obv cast is too old to do the full action thing here but I'm sure Abrams will find the right balance.

We need a Max Rebo Band movie that follows them as they tour the dives - and hives of scum and villainy - of the universe.

"I mostly say, ‘You can’t do this. You can do that,’ ” Lucas says. “You know, ‘The cars don’t have wheels. They fly with antigravity.’ There’s a million little pieces. Or I can say, ‘He doesn’t have the power to do that, or he has to do this.’ I know all that stuff.”

I really like how he trolled Disney w 'The final trilogy is all planned out' for one last epic troll probably worth millions of dollars.

“I don’t want to overcommercialize or overhype this,” he says. “It’s my job to prevent that.”
Says the president of Disney, which just bought Star Wars.

Love this bit, about another guy:
The transaction gave Disney a new source of hit movies. Jobs also became a Disney board member and its largest shareholder. Periodically he would call Iger to say, “Hey, Bob, I saw the movie you just released last night, and it sucked,” Iger recalls.
Also, that Pablo Hidalgo fellow mentioned early on is a friend of a friend -- hope I can chat with him sometime about all that!

apparently Lucas would come around Lucasarts when they were working on Star Wars games and provide random input. made up example: they'd be working on a level and he'd say "well you know Darth Vader could just fly to get himself out of trouble, right?"
"what?"
"sure he's a master of the force, of course he can fly."
of course this would break canon in a bunch of ways ... so he'd leave and the designers would pretend it never happened.

I've already told the story about Lucas bringing his son to the screenings of the dailies for Phantom Menace right

Yup.

Lucas interjecting his stupid nonsense all over the place all goes back to his feeling thoroughly burned at the initial industry and critical reception of Star Wars - everyone told him how stupid it was and how wrong he was and since he proved them all wrong that one time, he automatically discounts any and all criticism. That, and he's surrounded by people who are complete sycophants.

Lucas bringing his son to dailies? Is that in another thread?
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 8 March 2013 21:14 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, those Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay Oscar nominations musta really stuck in his craw. I'd be fucking pissed.

I'm talking more about the resistance he got to getting it made, before it was such a huge industry-changing hit. of course everyone was on his dick after that
― Donkamole Marvin (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 8 March 2013 21:16 (eleven years ago) link
Of course.

i heard a story from some people who worked on a pretty high profile...ancillary star wars entertainment product ....
anyway they heard word that lucas was very excited about the project and was, in fact, so excited about it that he had come up with a brand new character expressly for this project that would become part of the official star wars canon, etc.
obviously everyone was really excited.
the day came for lucas to meet with them. lucas coming to their offices was basically like the fuckin' pope or president coming, huge deal, big preparation, everyone's buzzing around etc etc
so they finally sit down with lucas in the conference room, and he starts by saying how impressed he was, how he wanted this product to be a real core part of star wars lore, blah blah blah...
then he says, "So the character I've created for the [project] is..."
*everyone leans forward, anticipating with bated breath*
"....Darth...Icky"
so they're like, "Darth...Icky"
and he's like, "yes, Darth Icky - I-C-K-Y" and begins to explain the character
so then after they were all freaking out like how the fuck are we gonna write around this retarded character etc, eventually they just drug their feet on it for long enough that lucas had moved on to his next brilliant idea and forgot about it and the public never knew of Darth Icky.

no morbs otm - i think depalma and scorsese expressed their regrets when he screened it for them, iirc the only one who didn't see a disaster was (shocker) spielberg who told him it was going to be a huge huge hit. studio obv didn't have much faith in it either since they gave him all the rights for waiving his director's fee right?
