Signalstar on 18 January 2012

This makes me happy. Star Wars is pretty awful outside of the 2.5 movies that are good.

Lucas continues to bash these critics despite the fact that their appreciation for the series helped it generate $4.4 billion in worldwide box-office sales.

For some artists, fame and money isn't as important as free expression. Looks like Georgey was fed up of being forced to please a customer, and I don't blame him to an extent.

"On the Internet, all those same guys that are complaining I made a change are completely changing the movie," Lucas says. "I'm saying: 'Fine. But my movie, with my name on it, that says I did it, needs to be the way I want it.'"

He's kinda right, but if it sucks he should gtfo or the market will g him the fo.

to the arrow to the knee, what can I say?

Good Riddance! (a bit bittersweet - I still like his old stuff)

What the hell is this, I took 'insert random object' to the knee?

OT: A lot of people throughout all forms of entertainment need to follow George's lead and 'retire'.

Oh thank god. The last thing star wars needs now is more George Lucas.

Gungans suck but oh boy Ewoks are awesome right? Granted people forget that the internet wasn't prevalent back when Return of the Jedi came out for fans to give him a lashing over the Ewoks.

I personally rank them 5>4>3>6>2>1 but it's all opinion really.

The third one was jst as good as the original trilogy in my honest opinion. Seriously, the critics/internet fans were ridiculous, who cares if you didn't like it. Just don't watch it.

Well, the first ones were heavily adlibbed by the actors, and lucas didn't have the budget he wanted.
Turned out great.
As soon as we saw his "vision" and saw him control the dialogue, we all realized what a hack he was.

What they need to do is cut his budget by 75% and give him a bunch of headstrong actors and actresses who will have a better feel on what their own character would say.
