+pikppa The part at the end where he explains the difference between Joy and Pleasure is awesome!

Jared Miles Totally agree.

Francesco Brosolo He's an INFP. All of us are romantic

This man created Star Wars, enough said

I think he has a blue lightsaber. Georges Lucwalker

@@Wade_Fucking_Wilson He said he has blue and red - depends how he feels this day.

I feel like people didn't even learn the lesson from Star Wars at all. Which is that you should NEVER give up your rights and liberties to rulers who promise you solutions, safety, unification etc. People vote for bigger government that then demoralizes society, raises taxes, raises unemployment, raises cost of living, sabotages life generally for everyone. Star Wars is about a political manipulator who fools society with fake wars and fake conflicts to give himself more power. That's literally what people in the west have done the last 30 years 😐 And Putin does the same thing, threaten their socieities with fake wars and conflicts, promise safety and solution in exchange for taking more power for themselves, and taking YOUR rights away. like do people not at all even recognize this point being the ACTUAL main plot for 6 movies straight? Crazy 😂

+ScrewTheSystemJoe That is a great quote from george lucus in this video. The part at the end of the video where he explains the difference between Joy and Pleasure is awesome too!

Well he leaves out the part where you also have to work your ass off to create something other people will buy. George got lucky. Star Wars was a complete fluke; it was never meant to be successful. He's like Mark Zuckerburg who's a billionaire despite dropping out of college. Yes, it happens, but in extreme exception and only because they still created something useful for society's benefit, and that took a lot o hard work, skill, talent, and dedication.

Gallifreyan Buccaneer he didn't mention it yes but George did work really hard on star wars in 1977. He nearly died of heart problems from the stress . He meerly is saying dont do something you want because people don't believe in what you really want to do

@@UnchainedEruption flukes dont imprint on pop culture for 40 years....vader had 30 minutes of screen time and became an instant icon...people regularly quote the movie to the day what about that is a "fluke"

Such a wise man a true genius

savio roy I'm just glad that we the young people who watched the Prequels say their opinions aloud now. When I was a kid all I could find were the endless rants, and when you said something positive of the prequels they'd even insult you in horrible manners (many of them). I'm just amazed that I had to wait more than a decade to be able to peacefully voice my opinion in support of the Prequels... :/

+savio roy The part at the end where he explains the difference between Joy and Pleasure is awesome!

+Bunny Hat (太公望) I didn't even know there were negative reviews about the prequels until ten years later when Star Wars the Force Awakens hit my movie radar, because I personally loved the prequels than I did with the originals... and I didn't know there was considered to be an Originals trilogy and a Prequels trilogy, for me it was always one big movie called Star Wars.

He did it twice actually.

George is a living legend - without a doubt. But no way is he "pushed away" from his own franchise. He SOLD it. That was 100% his choice. You don't sell a house and still expect to eat dinner there, do you?

Slackerphilosopher ikr😂😂😂😂😂😂

Slackerphilosopher fun fact: Steven Spielberg didn't make it into USC because of his C grade average so he went to California State University instead

“A new hope”

+DangerDan My favorite was where he said, "Jar Jar is the key to all of this."

+Quickscript Yeah and the fact that he actually is still seems to be lost on the fanbase who haven't looked deeper at the Jar Jar relationship on screen.. When they do they will get a whole new appreciation for the character... But hey why bother its far easier to bitch about something without knowledge than to have an educated opinion you've formed yourself.

Luke Lewis I actually know all about the Darth Jar Jar stuff. I actually like the character when taken the rumors into consideration. I never bitched either. But hey, you can think what you want.

@@lukenotskywalker2957 A man of knowledge

+Mindo Kaur What about Star Wars?

+Mindo Kaur the best of the prequels without doubt, if anyone says otherwise I have one thing to say to them, watch the obi wan vs Anakin final battle

+Fabnazidoge 9gag So does Episode 4, 5 , 6 plenty of very cheesy lines and acting.. Nostalgia goggles don't do this series any favours and its getting very tiring seeing 1 side of the Star Wars fanbase engage in it.. It doesn't make you a fan of Star Wars if your shitting on half of the Sagas plot. Simple as that.

+Luke Lewis what parts of the originals do you find cheesy? not here to cause and argument just genuinely interested

kyle Finch Every scene with lando or luke

lol. Star wars isnt enduring anymore, its dying.

@@solomongrundy.1604 Under Disney leadership, not Lucas. When Star Wars was Lucas', it saw multiple golden ages. The original trilogy, then the beginning of the Expanded Universe, then the prequel trilogy, then the Clone Wars multimedia project, then the further depths of the EU, not to mention the leagues of video games littered throughout all these eras. Even when some people were dissatisfied with the prequels, they didn't give up on Star Wars as a whole because the heart of Star Wars endured. Since Disney bought the franchise, the heart is gone.

Him and JK rowling !

You couldn’t be more right!

Jure Humar exactly! I agree

@@Wade_Fucking_Wilson no

Finn Prince l was young back then. Forgive me

Awesome congrats do it

Dragon Ball Rants follow your dreams man even if nobody else believes in them. George Lucas is right and your right. It reminds me of something Eddie Murphy said during His height in popularity during the early 90's. Deep down inside most know what they would love to do, but are afraid to go after it. Michael Jordan said something that resonated during His hall of fame induction speech that was so true as well. “Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.” Take life day by day, and stay positive. If the people around u or your environment isn't positive? Get out of their, cause their negativity will bring u down. Peace of mind is everything, and money isn't. Doing what u love to do in life (Your passion) and having peace of mind is what truly matters. bless!

thats the path to pursue, your heart will give you greater strength then anything to pursue your dreams... and should you ever falter and you need to rest so be it, you gave your whole being... just dont lose yourself trying to accomplish your goals or your goals wont be worth anything to you anymore ... patience is a virtue, as are charity and compassion, and endurance and awareness

Rejean Lau yes, he actually explained this. Look up 'George Lucas explains the force'. :)

kamatemateLIVE you wrote this comment 3 years ago

not really

@Guilherme no he got 2 billion in dollars and 2 billion worth in stocks he sold them stocks to get a full 4 billion dollars for lucasfilm

@@thefriendlygamer2221 Lucas still has his shares. They are now worth 7.8 billion And he's the biggest independent shareholder in the company.

@@joshimura1995 no he doesn't Otherwise he would be on the top list of Disney shareholders Which he is not

@@thefriendlygamer2221 the guys listed have a company behind them

making your mind up is the tough job

Perserve what you love and find happiness

nothing satisfies me

almost like Yoda... The character he... wrote! :)

Jonas B. Ingebretsen When he was on Moviefone talking about Episode 3 with Hayden Christensen he said that he relates himself to yoda since he's older.

Jonas B. Ingebretsen Lucas did not write the screenplay for Empire or Jedi. The Yoda in the prequels, which he did write, was not nearly as intelligent.

@@JohnGrahamsBlog 1) He did. 2) Yoda has character arc too.

Thank you!

***** Because "respect" is such a bogus term in entertainment that it should stop being used altogether. Which do you think is more important: spending $4 billion to make sure a bunch of greedy pleasure-seeking overgrown children are completely and utterly happy with every last aspect of a movie series, or using that money to build museums and fund education? If you don't know the answer to that question, try watching the video again.

***** He described "joy" as something long lasting that you get from giving to people, which he has done in the form of charities for education--yes, it includes film schools--and the building of museums. He described pleasure as something higher but much more short lived, and that INCLUDES his movies. Giving consumers the movies the exact way they were in the 70s is not "Giving a dog a bone." It's giving a dog a bone with a bow tie and very precise seasoning to enhance the flavor in just the right way for the dog's taste buds. Lucas has already given everyone a bone in the form of the movies the way they are now. If you want something that specific just to appease your exact tastes, have Chef Ramsey make you dinner. Otherwise, either accept what he gives you or go find a bone to eat somewhere else. If you were offended by the "pleasure seeking children" comment, I apologize. I was not referring to you specifically. I was referring to the entire Star Wars culture that cries like a bunch of babies because Lucas dared to do something with HIS property that THEY didn't approve of. I'm referring to these people who act as though they "own" part of Star Wars when they've put absolutely no effort into actually MAKING Star Wars. They think that because they're fans who spent a whopping $10 to see a movie--or possibly $20 to buy a DVD--that they get to dictate what happens with it and what doesn't. Maybe, since they "own" it, they should get a healthy slice of the profits Lucas makes from Star Wars too? Or maybe we should stick to what the copyright office says: LUCAS OWNS STAR WARS. If they're that bothered by it, they should either get involved in the development of the movies/universe, or just create one of their own. Heck, create an AU fanfiction that ignores the existence of midichlorians! How hard is that to do? Sorry. This actually does bother me a fair bit. Perhaps I'm taking it too seriously, but then, I think most of the fanboys take this crap too seriously as well. Thanks for the reply. :)

@@Sonicisbadazz boomer

Donald Trump would never understand that speech. LOL

Three words for you my friend, jar jar binks

People whine about jar jar because they think it's fashionable..I never had a problem with that character...Samuel L Jackson was the only poor cast in the trilogies..That has nothing to do with how business savvy and creative this man is though..Not many like him in the world...Including you :)

Elijah Hernandez Even the greatest minds of our time can make mistakes. Did you expect him to be perfect?

James George OH SHIT GEORGE LUCAS LIKES ME?!!!

more like santa claus

Both

Same man

+CinematicGalaxy He did make Star Wars. I just want to cuddle the smarmy twat, to be honest.

George Lucas isn’t stupid, greedy or lazy. He’s actually very smart creative, hard working and passionate. He has great ideas but he’s not good at executing them.

yOneS One agreed

Attack of the Clones. (I'm serious)

JelloDemon Or Sith Lord Jar Jar Binks?

+Daniel Chapman maybe

Farting.

Felipe Aguena Luke...

Felipe Aguena Really original hot take, this.

It's really funny because the guy now it's doing stuff outisde of the mainstream media.

+Chio Chan Genocide i completely disagree, did you ever heard of star wars fan movies? fans do it all the time, there is hundred od fan mande movies that use the star wars signature and lore, george could sue the shit out of all the people who created that movies, and he never did that he ALWAYS incentive his fan to make this kind of material, he is very anti-corporation in a "certain point of view" even if his empire was build upon the selling of toys

+Chio Chan Genocide He grew up. The person you were 5 years ago is not the person you will be 5 years in the present and so on. Change is the only actuality in this world that is consistent and unchallenged. People changed, even on micro levels.

Mathias Signebøen the politics was the most important part of the prequels. Now we have SJW nonsense Star Wars with no story. I miss George :(

+Michael Rovno The part at the end of the video where he explains the difference between Joy and Pleasure is awesome!

Well you can thank the media to fuel that hate against George Lucas, especially during the prequel era of Star Wars. Most of the mainstream media are against him because og how vocal he is towards rejecting the Hollywood corporate machine.

Back on the 1940s?

Hammern28, yeah you've got me started with comparing captions. ENGLISH vs AUTO-GENERATED ENGLISH. (BTW, automatic seems to yield a better result.) But I'm guessing that the Non-Auto CAPTION option text was simply input from some other non-human device, AS GENERATED BY AN AUTOMATIC PROCESS, because the mistakes aren't even human. It's the kind of translation that only a robot could misinterpret.
