Star Wars 7 shit talk

if this film is as good as IJ & KCrystal Skull, count yr blessings.

"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.”

Billionaire entrepreneur or your know-it-all best friend from 7th grade?

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.

xxpost this is why no-one invites you to their birthday parties anymore, George

“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.

I heard his questions about utility data were incorporated throughout.

haha

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?

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

Of course.

just a big ol' dickload of everybody

I would like to break a cannon over the head of anyone saying "break canon" in my presence.

they shd def sneak Jerry Lewis in as a Jedi master

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?

lol dayo

let's stay focused here

hahaha Darth Barf and Darth Grody were taken already ;_;

uh morbs said what now?

"Oh no, it's Darth Ewwww!"

Darth Grody and Darth Gag Me With a Spoon

There's already a General Grievous; can we expect the eventual appearance of Commander Heinous?

apparently the time I spent during The Phantom Menace calling Darth Maul "Darth Yuckmouth" put me closer to the Lucas mindset than I realized

darth vadge

darth jar jar, last vote cast to terminate the republic

jabba the record critic

You've gone too far.

he's the white sheep of the hutt family

I've heard stories about him at Lucasarts, like getting personally interested in the development of Force Unleashed 2 for some reason, before getting bored and wandering off for something off.

Suffice it to say that all reports of the game were that it suuuuuuucked, to the point of cloning the dead protagonist of the previous game because they could come up with a better idea

Looks like Episode VII plans just borked the most popular current property, after its season just ended on a major cliffhanger: http://starwars.com/news/a-new-direction-for-lucasfilm-animation.html

As we enter into an exciting new era focused on the next Star Wars trilogy, Lucasfilm has decided to pursue a new direction in animated programming. We are exploring a whole new Star Wars series set in a time period previously untouched in Star Wars films or television programming. You can expect more details in the months to come.

As part of this shift, we have also made some key decisions affecting Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Detours.

After five highly successful and critically acclaimed seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, we feel the time has come to wind down the series. While the studio is no longer producing new episodes for Cartoon Network, we're continuing production on new Clone Wars story arcs that promise to be some of the most thrilling adventures ever seen. Stay tuned for more information on where fans can soon find this bonus content. In the video below, Supervising Director Dave Filoni offers a peek of what is to come in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

At Star Wars Celebration VI last year, George Lucas gave fans a glimpse at the animated comedy series Star Wars Detours from Seth Green, Matthew Senreich, and Todd Grimes. Detours was conceived and produced before we decided to move forward with the new Star Wars trilogy, and in the wake of that decision, Lucasfilm has reconsidered whether launching an animated comedy prior to the launch of Episode VII makes sense. As a result, we've decided to postpone the release of Detours until a later date.

We are incredibly proud of the teams at Lucasfilm Animation for creating some of the most amazing animation ever produced for TV. Keep checking StarWars.com for new developments on these and future projects.

the animated comedy series star wars detours might not happen?! *weeps*

BOOOOOOOOO!!!!

No, i thought that meant Clone Wars was being eliminated (sad) in favor of focusing on sub-Family Guy schtick.

Phil, the rest of that core paragraph indicates more episodes are coming! Probably just means they'll be on Disney TV instead, obv.

I have a feeling they'll be online-only, which, ugh. Right now "Clone Wars" is the golden goose, and I hate to think they're killing it prematurely.
