A surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one.

I prefered the part where he talked about his actual life though. Could have kept on that subject, but ok...

Just like the definition of JOY he was explaining in contrast to PLEASURE. That was a profound joy you experienced & you will remember him for that forever!

a natural storyteller

You guys are bad listeners. He said in the beginning that he will talk about two things. So his career was first thing (that he also gets asked about a lot as he said) and happiness and joy or outlook on life was the second thing he wanted to talk about. Everything was as expected.

At least you do, most sw's fans are toxic and don't seem to get, without this man we wouldn't even have sw's. I-love ALL the films! Thanks to this man, my child-hood was more than what it should have been. He's my hero.

Agreed! Out of curiosity if you don’t mind, how old are you? A rough idea would suffice.

@@mingweicheese3709 late 20s

@@zck2020 I see. Thanks for responding!

The older I get the more I loath him. He flat out refused to have the original theatrical films preserved. He hates his own creation and the people that like it.

+Cole Martin lol it must be on purpose that shits perfect lmao

Haha yeah it wasn't the love for animation or film school that ultimately gave us Star Wars, it was Mr Lucas' mirror.

Anakin isn’t the chosen one, it’s George Lucas’ hair!!

Nah, both blows chunks.

And the left is the dark side and the light is the right

Not fit to wipe his glasses.

You haven't seen the prequels? Return of the Jedi was only marginally better than rise of skywalker.

@@Dez-E We have, the prequels and ROTJ are sick.

@@2ndairborneguy790 the prequels are laughably bad. The only things they were good fore arworld building(not close to the level of the EU), and forcing the property to be purchased by Disney. ROTJ ruined one of the best characters in the franchise and featured space teddy bears

same lol

Prequels were fine, the dialogue sucked

yeah well you're just a tool lol

You probably enjoy the prequels if you realize they won't ever be the novelty which the first trilogy was at its time, and realize it was made mostly for kids.

Dave Mustang: What, crap?

Star Jedi 951 And Willow!

Yesssss!!

I concur with that sentiment. Enough with the reboots and rehashed ideas. The risk takers willing to create new stories are the ones we should be encouraging and celebrating.

Who knows? maybe this generation has one somewhere, just waiting to make their mark. A new hope.

@Gren Wren one problem. Last Jedi was the middle movie in a trilogy att end of three trilogies. Not the best moment to start doing your own thing when the movie has 7 previous movies to consider and one more that will round it all up. If anything last Jedi was an amateur fuck up on unseen before scale. Which is not a good comparison to the first movie a New hope. Had this been a standalone movie i still would have had issues with it. But I would have rated it much higher though certainly not for its plot.

@Gren Wren The last jedi did something diffrent only for the sake of being diffrent . It's like rian all fan theories on snoke,rey etc.., and purposefully have the shittiest reveals just to be able to say "it was unexpected" lol

CozyJuffyWuff The fault is the people.

Nathan M Well for the most part he did write Yoda's lines. :)

@Director Kid Yeah all the philosophies of the light and dark sides are embodied in what he is saying.

He channeled himself thru Yoda :)

Pretty sure that the last part is literally his vision of the light side and the dark side of the force.

That’s why people who hate him choose to hate him. He has everything they want and it doesn’t even matter to him. He lives life for joy and they live for pleasure

For someone who is now worth over $4 billion, he is incredibly down-to-earth and real.

LOL True, thats profound.. WOW!

The entire saga is 1-6

@@hanshotlast Yes.

Well, the actors in it seemed upset. The SUCK-QUEL TRILOGY is the ultimate example of how to waste time, talent, money, and goodwill amongst the fandom. Snobs like Ruin Johnson shat on the saga, turned off half the fans (aka customers), went on a social media rampage to belittle ALL who presented legit criticism of the SUCK-QUEL TRILOGY. Star Wars is on life support in the form of a small puppet called "Baby Yoda" and the sooner these pretentious bastards at Disney LucasFILTH realize they have nearly killed the franchise, the sooner it can turn around.

@@jkdbuck7670 dont want to spoil you it for you but Mando's final episode at season 2 probably gave some hope for Star Wars franchise. but its not enough to win me over , they need to do good story telling

Very true!

Yes they would they would have been developed by somebody else

@@notyou69420. but it didn't, it was George..

@@notyou69420. you do realize George not only pioneered a lot of practical effects, but also CGI effects that are used today right? Like he didn’t just limit himself to Star Wars he basically allowed people to use his studios. Industrial Light and Magic was his creation and a lot of companies used it before the Disney purchase.

I swear every time I go back to stuff like the prequels, it continues to shock me how damn good the visuals are for the time. Even stuff like Revenge of the Sith could still hold up today I reckon, especially that immaculate first shot. Heck, even some aspects of the originals are still good, like the shots of Star Destroyers cruising through space.

Well spoken. I grew up watching the prequels (born 2005) and they are very dear to my heart, in fact honestly almost more so than the originals. Just proves that the prequels have the same magic as the originals, that sense of childish wonder and simplicity.

@@oharryc exact same scenario (same year too) going back now, i even enjoyed the prequels more.

It’s not about the flaws in the prequels. Those were always there in his work. It’s about the passion of the work and it’s message! That’s what he’s giving us!

@@oharryc my daughter was born in 2005 too, and she likes SW since she was 4. Prequels, that is. I am glad she is not the only one. :)

@@AloutkaKazawa most gen Zers that grew up on SW love the prequels since they got to experience them in theaters

He may have gone too far in a few places

My dad's a chauffer and drove his [then] girlfriend one time. He had very complimentary things to say about her. Sharp, gorgeous, etc. etc.

@ Kathy: Mellody Hobson born in 1969) is an accomplished business person on her own: she's the president and co-CEO of Ariel investments www.arielinvestments.com/content/view/3864/1849/ She was the chairperson of Dreamworks Animation before it was sold to ComCast. She currently sits on the board of JPMorgan and Starbucks Learn about her: she's sensational. The fact that they found love with one another is great for the both of them: none of them had to aim lower because both are SUPER accomplished in their own fields ;-)

It rhymes.

+CvnDqnrU it's like pottery (clay, specifically)

It's so dense

Too bad he had to sell it to Disney

Joseph Campbell

He read a lot of science fiction novels while he was doing research for Star Wars. I'm sure Asimov was one of the authors. I know he also read Edgar Rice Burroughs, Edward Elmer Smith, Frank Herbert , Leigh Brackett, Edmond Hamilton. He also watched a lot of movies and read a lot of comic books. You can see that all in Star Wars. The Akira Kurosawa and John Ford, and Howard Hawks Influence. The Errol Flynn films. The Flash Gordon and EC comics influence.

So Star Wars is the legacy of all great novels of 20th century.

Actually Akira Kurosawas idea, the Hidden fortress

Jonathan Baumstark, completely agree. People only THOUGHT George messed up star wars with the prequels... then along came the total clusterfuck of Disney slag.

At least the prequals had coherent and original stories. The sequels were poorly made rehashes of the originals

@Griff - It's hard to say if he liked 8. They asked "So what did you think of the movie, George?" "It's uhh. It's a beautifully made movie."

@@wreckastow5261 Disney sucks dick. Well, not totally ... some of their movies were good. But f*ck Disneyland / world

@@histguy101 yea pretty sure he did not like 8. He is a film maker so he can apperciate what went into making it. But the story was trash he was just being polite.

Blaine Sandoval what do you mean by finished though? He finished the story of star wars with return of the jedi. Disney just decided to keep going.

Turd sandwhich

I’m out

Buddy, people fucking hated the prequels and until Disney decided to make more movies, a lot of people said George Lucas ruined Star Wars. He and his actors got a ton of shit over social media from a huge amount of people. Only now that Disney made movies that are more divisive than the prequels, people start to go back and think "huh, you know George and the prequels weren't that bad"

Siegfried86 ' hey “buddy”, I loved the prequels back when they were released.

joltwarrior, I watched the original trilogy as a kid in the 80’s first on tv and then getting the vhs tapes from my parents. I loved Star Wars since then. So as a gen xer I was so happy when the prequels were announced. As time when on, they were trashed by other fans. I don’t understand the hate for them. George Lucas is a creative genius in my opinion. If he didn’t make Episode 4 A New Hope there would be no Star Wars.

If you want more of star wars and more of Lucas's ideas put into practice by others watch the clone wars

@@GigglesClown oh I have, love the clone wars!!!

Walt himself would be appalled at how his Company did this guy. Many who know the actual Walt Disney describe him as wonderful, caring ,kind, man.

The SUCK-QUEL TRILOGY

In my opinion, it's the fans that actually shit all over him and that's why he sold the company. We didn't appreciate what he put out with the prequels and shit all over him. Many fans still do.

Bonnie R. And I love ur prp

Danny Walters Jr. I’m sorry what?

8thDay Cinematography, AKA: The film industry. Long set days -months on productions Lifestyle is not for the timid. Takes years/decades climbing IATSE / ASC accreditation.

Blame the dumbasses that hate the PT.

Star wars isn't destroyed, you can still watch the first 6 + the mandalorian, the book of boba fett and soon obi wan kenobi are amazing series.

@@oharryc Star Wars is dead buddy. We can look back and enjoy the original/prequels but after Disney it’s been garbage. The people running it have no idea how stories in SW work. Mando is overrated, BoBF is shit, and I have no hope in the Kenobi show esp with them just nostalgia baiting every character.

I mean, I personally love the prequels, but I do agree with people that as a film, they suck. And tbh, as much I love the prequels, I wouldn't mind seeing a remake of them.

Dude, I alwaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyys loved the prequels. I loved them before it was popular. I even loved them before they were made. That's how important I am!!!!

everyone loves the prequels now

They were a mixed bag from the very beginning. But good movies; in execution, acting; story/plot and visuals. The script was tacky; and some interactions didnt work out. But honestly...thats what I thought about the OT as well. :)

I never left that bandwagon. It's MY bandwagon. The world is catching up. Finally.

True

Lol “good director” None of the actors in his movies think he’s a good director. If you actually look at the behind the scenes stuff all he does is sit in a chair and drink coffee.
