Yeah. His brilliance is lost on the plinkett zombies

He’s always understood the overarching concepts of Star Wars just not the filmmaking or screenwriting aspect. Hence why he has no idea how to execute those ideas through his chosen medium. Of course when you explain the decisions made in the prequels the audience is eventually going to understand what you’re trying to do. But if you have to constantly explain everything instead of the audience getting it for themselves, in most cases the film is too dense or in minor cases too deep

There's nothing brilliant in this. It's actually simplistic and facile. Anyone who behvaves with the light side and tries to be good all the time is setting himself up to be a victim. His explanation also does not make a whole lot of sense given the success and achievements of so many of the Sith Lords in the SW universe. It might apply to Anakin. But not Palpatine or Vitiate or any of the others. Anakin is an angry manchild who can't control himself and see further than his nose. No wonder Palpatine played him like fiddle . He has no idea the pleasure that comes from achieving great goals. Geore Lucas sounds like a nice man, but he much of what he says, comes across as words from a rich white man who has never had to struggle. His wealth has sheltered him from the messiness of life.

HAHAAHH the looks on their faces. "Holy FUCK is this asshole full of shit." What's so comical about this whole thing is that Sidious seemed like the most joyful character in the prequels. He was having a ball.

His joyfulness was just a mask to hide his own darkness from other people. He died in fear and agony.

Big blue i doubt their thinking that. George was right.

I dunno they seem pretty into it to me. Hard to see what's illogical here unless you're just trying to hot take. The reason why Sidious is gleeful is because he, as both Lucas and Filoni have stated elsewhere, is basically the devil personified, and is sort of on a separate level in terms of evil from the other Sith.

Doodling is a really good method of memory retention. Lots of people do it.

thatblondeboy exactly. The jedi in the prequels were going dark, imbalance, they were selfless yes but not to anakin, they were blind and became warriors not peaceful beings. Qui gon was a real jedi. As yoda later on was, and obiwan.

Rene Myles Underrated comment.

Hey George what time- George: Did you ever hear of the tradgedy of Darth Plagus the wise

It's Vader time!

They definitely subconsciously inspired me on that level, then as you grow up and become more experienced in that way you can really see it on the surface of it all.

@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE EXACTLY! It's hard to put into word what make Star Wars so special, but your heart knows even if your words can't capture it. I think every kid subconsciously understands what George is saying. They all always want to be a Jedi because they are the good guys with noble qualities who help people and fight against the bad guys. Sometimes its just good vs bad and all you have to do is decide what kind person you want to be and what side you want to be on. It's a simple concept, but that doesn't make it any less true. :-)

That's something I've noticed. People of all kinds of religions see themselves in the philosophies of the Jedi, from one aspect or another. It's really fascinating to me. But yeah, there are some very definite Buddhist aspects to the non-attachment and compassion of the Jedi.

I'm a Jedi unlike my father before me

Buddhism? not Taoism?

@@MauryExplorer_ all very old religions have common ground, especially if they are close in terms of geography.

Interestingly, George identifies as Buddhist!

Lucas has good ideas, it's just how they are executed that he often runs into trouble. Then again, he's often not been very conventional with his filmmaking. THX-1138 is Orwell-meets-Japanese-visual-aesthetics, and American Graffiti was a nostalgic look back to the 60's, but done in a more documentarian style of filmmaking. Plus, he dabbled in Hollywood and just said, "I'll do things my own way, up in San Francisco."

_"So certain are you? Always with you what cannot be done."_ - Master Yoda

I've learned to just crack open any of the old Legends comics and novels I have in my library. True, I'm missing a lot, but there's ways to get old stuff and wookieepedia for the really obscure material. No one, and I mean NO ONE can erase everything Star Wars already built, and it will always be waiting for us with welcoming arms.

​@@Arkay24 At least you're willing to read. (Many people - even Star Wars fans - are not.) My advice to you is to focus on the film novelizations, which provide a deeper insight into what was intended for the backbone of this grander story... and included things that could not be in the films for a variety of reasons. On the topic of the Star Wars being 'erased' as the story unfolds, I suggest that you think _bigger..._ and don't let your (current) feelings and (limited) perceptions impair your better judgement. On that note: Just imagine if Episodes I-III had been released before IV-VI. After the ending of the (chronologically) first trilogy, it's likely that many of the audience would be complaining, 'A thousand generations of Jedi legacy was erased! Anakin would never have done that! Bad writing!' But in truth, there was more to the story to tell.

Be the force with you, my friend. Be safe.

RedRobin696 However, being to selfless can also make you weak. You become an easy target to the dark side and be devoured by it. Balance is embracing the light and the darkness.

Being Selfish makes you evil and can make you much weaker like Hitler.

@@StoicSurvivor99 balance is not embracing the darkness did you not even watch the video.

He was right in only one thing, GRAY Jedi can never exist.

The Finn You have a very good point. Looks like we need a rebellion...

Whereas he who sold his "children" for $4bn?

The Finn Seriously! Disney is pure evil!!!

Sith are too cool to be anything related to the garbage called Disney.

@KingOne I take on a Sith any day rather than the sick SJW Queen Kathleen Kennedy and her ilks.

ashdoginc At that point there was no going back. He'd just helped in the assassination of a high ranking Jedi master. As palpatine said, if the Jedi are not all destroyed it would've been civil war without end. However, it's true that it's never stated what the actual power is or how close anakin was to achieving it.

@@thelastjediknight1 Anakin could've killed Palpatine and say Palpatine killed Mace Windu. Also maybe Mace Windu survived? Like Darth Maul?

@@ashdoginc Anakin at that point wasn't powerful enough to kill Palpatine. Palpatine would've just killed Anakin and try to turn Luke/Leia to the dark side after they were born and gone on with business as usual. While Maul coming back was pretty unlikely in itself, Mace Windu probably fell a very much larger distance, was probably rendered unconscious/unable to control his muscles due to Sidious's force lightning, and probably even hit speeders on the way down. Being the meticulous mastermind he was, Sidious probably sent out a regiment of clone troopers to look for his body and verify his death. There might be Legends material covering this, all of what I just said is speculation, so take it with a grain of cortosis xD

@@WASEE627 I think it would've been far more interesting to at least see Anakin try.

For some point of view, he thought that he saved the galaxy. "I brought peace, freedom, justice and security to my New Empire!" He killed separatists and Jedi - all members of war, and gave power to man he trusted.

this was applied in the Last Jedi tho

George once used getting a car as an analogy. When you get your first car, it's the greatest thing ever...but when you get another car, you can never have that same feeling as 'the first time.' That's what some need to understand when it comes to new iterations of Star Wars. It is never going to be like 'your first time,' and people need to accept that...but as we've seen, many in the fandom seem to be drawn to the Dark Side, and are just as greedy as Anakin at times.

@@georgelucas3762 This is definitely the real George Lucas, so you must be telling the truth.

she has never understood Star Wars and that is very apparent in that interview she did with George

I don't think so. Given the toxic behaviour I've seen from most of the Fandumb Menace, It's impossible that you respect anything that Lucas espouses.

The very act of destroying anything IS the darkside. No matter how virtous we are, living things consume other living things, it is nature However we are self-aware and we can choose to carefully step around the snail on the sidewalk or help a flipped turtle get back on it's feet, this is the blessing of sentience and choice

Yes the darkside is a cancer and unnatural.

Jamie Demeter I think George is a genius but he also just lifted concepts from culture. The Force = Taoism. The Jedi = Samurai & Buddhist Monks. It’s somewhat of a repackaging of Eastern philosophy, mysticism & culture branded to the west through entertainment.

@@joepearson279 yes, the light side is the way. It is balance. The dark side is imbalance.

The average person loves by a grey jedi code, its the epitome of balance, everyone is both selfish and selfless to certain degrees. There are limits to both, to be truly selfless would mean giving everything you have including your life, to be totally selfish is to want to take everything for yourself. We live in balance, much like the grey jedi.

@@cadkls Gray Jedi are fanfiction they've never appeared in any official Star Wars media.

@@and8091 What about Jolee Bindo and the Voss in KOTOR and SWTOR not to mention the Bendu and the original jedi order in Rebels and Dawn of the Jedi?

Vijay Chandra First of all Jolee Bindu was legends, which was never considered canon by Lucas. George viewed the EU exactly as it’s name suggested, an expanded universe. Different from his own. Second the Bendu are non material beings. Entities who aren’t susceptible to corruption like most living creatures who aren’t deities are

Yay

Lost all respect for the guy when he went on a tantrum like that.

Shadowshand the fucker’s just mad he hasn’t been relevant since he did Scooby Doo. Kanan was a joke of a character, just like the show he was in

I don’t think FPJ meant that to be taken as balance in the literal sense. I interpreted it as him saying the playing field needs to be leveled at some point so that the the Jedi/light side users can overwhelm and destroy the dark side users. Then true balance which is no Sith/dark side users, can finally be achieved.

Amen. Although it's the universal fairy tale... here in the UK maybe our closest creations would be Harry Potter or the works of C.S Lewis, but neither are on the same timeless level and importance of Star Wars.

@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE I mean Harry Potter is more internally consistent story compared to Star Wars. Star Wars just has a massive audience and now it is consistency is blurry.

@@kungolaf4499 George Lucas' Star Wars (1-6) was very consistent. Besides, it's quite a bit easier to keep a consistent story when the whole thing is based in one school in one country on one planet, rather than an entire galaxy full of various worlds, planets, societies, races, organisations etc...

@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE I mean the consistency between the Prequel Trilogy and The Original Trilogy is arguable if you go through them scene by scene. On a grand scale they fit, but if you see the details, cracks start to show up: Leia remembering her parents and Anakin never really being the hero Obi-Wan tells about for example. There is even internal contrivences in the Original Trilogy: Leia 'always knowing' her sibling relationship with Luke even though they kissed intensely twice (even though the contexts of those kisses explain them somewhat; still it is somewhat akward), Obi-Wan pulling 'a certain point of view' from his ass (something that would be ripped apart today if it came out of the sequel trilogy). J.K. Rowling had one school and a handful of characters for 6 movies while George Lucas keeps resetting the main characters after every three films, introducing new themes and outlooks that alter the way that we see the previous stories. Because of these new ideas, they don't always fit perfectly, dialoque per dialoque to the previously established themes and lore. The way you see Star Wars depends on what you think of the starting point/main conflict of the saga. And that depends on when you were born and what generation of Star Wars you saw first. Even though J.K. Rowling leaves space for sublety, there is one singular vision for the themes and achievements of the very same main character. To see the same for Star Wars, you need to give the details benefit of the doubt and ignore the bad/contradicting stuff. And it is blasphemous to think that the Sequels introduced big contrivences to the saga. Only after the Rise of Skywalker has the Sequel Trilogy surpassed the amount of contrivences the Original Trilogy itself had.

@@kungolaf4499 Blasphemy to the Lord Micky Mouse of Disney, ruler of all media corporations perhaps haha.... I don't subscribe to that particular denomination of corruption personally. Lucas Star Wars is the only Star Wars to me now, Disney Star Wars is just poor fan-fiction in my mind. I did enjoy The Force Awakens and Rogue One upon release, and was pretty much onboard with what Disney Lucasfilm was doing with the franchise... until "The Last Jedi" spat in the face of everything that Star Wars was created by George Lucas to represent. I personally don't see the "contrivances" of the original to prequel trilogies as anything that cannot be explained away by "the Force" or Leia remembers her mother? Maybe she had visions in her dreams through the Force. Anakin being a hero of the republic? Well we see glimpses of that in Attack of the Clones and the opening battle of Revenge of the Sith, considering many years have passed between the two films I don't think it's hard to assume Anakin was a part of more heroic campaigns and operations (I'm not a fan of "The Clone Wars" series so I won't even use those events as "evidence"). I'm of the prequel generation, but I watched the original trilogy first on VHS in the early 90's, then saw the "Special Editions" releases in cinemas in 1997 when I was 6 years old (been a fan/fanatic since the age of 4), then went on to enjoy the prequels upon their releases from 1999-2005.

+Jesse Mazer From the Blu-Ray collection of the 6 films

sw toni the Mortis and yoda arcs were some of my favourite episodes, just like the Ashoka leaving the Jedi and anakin although it was upsetting it was perfect. Ashoka was so similar to GUI gown jinn, and seeing her growth through rebels was my favourite storyline.

Luke lashed out at Vader in Episode 6 in anger. And he was supposed to be the hero?! Seriously, Luke was a whiny, emoting and impatient brat for most of the original trilogy. Rey like Luke before hasn't yet grown up. The thing with Kylo Ren is that he isn't natural at being on the dark side; he is pulled by the light and that's why he feels the need to force himself to be on the dark side.

That’s a really reductive view of good and evil. It’s to show that the concepts are more complex than serenity and focus, you can be focussed and evil, you can be serene and wrong. It’s about challenging these simple ideas we’ve grown accustomed to and making them have some depth.

@@kungolaf4499 that’s his whole arc. He learns throughout the trilogy. Whiney, I wouldn’t really say he’s whiney, he just doesn’t like being on Tatooine and you’d act the same if you lived in the middle of nowhere and when he leaves he doesn’t really whine much. He nearly was going to strike Vader with anger but then when Palpatine asks him to join Luke looks at Vader and realizes if he joins and kills Vader he’ll end up like Anakin. And earlier he saw the good in Vader. At the end of the OT Luke became a more patient and wise person.

genius2005 well Said.

yeah disney and co just fucked up everything

No Rian Johnson should have at least watched one of the first six. Because if he had watched them. Then maybe episode VIII might have been at least bad awful. Instead of the terrible F-ing piece of sh*t that he came up with. F**k Off RJ!!!

Master Kenobi I don’t fear of lose of others but what my great fear is turning to the dark side

You grossly misinterpreted this video in an attempt to slander Johnson. Lucas is saying balance in the force means that everything has a yin/yang. But the yang must never supersede the yin or try to upstage it. Instead it must always remain in a neutral stasis. Force users must acknowledge the darkness within them, accept that they will be tempted, but never feed into it. Selflessness must always prevail over selfishness.

......................hello there................

@@Prof_Tickles92 George Lucas [commentary on Episode III: "... that's the one thing that will bring Balance back to the Force, that there's this little ounce of good in [Anakin] and it's his son that makes him realise that he made the wrong decision ... and that he needs to do the right thing which is to get rid of the Sith and bring Balance to the Force" and then in his Commentary of a New Hope, "... Anakin's offspring redeem him and allow him to fulfill the prophecy where he brings balance to the Force by doing away with the Sith and getting rid of evil in the universe.."

Much like a schizophrenic is right and rational in their own head even though their perception is utterly skewed and false. For example, the Jedi do not "forcibly" take children lmao.

@@antoniusfudgepacker4318 Yes, because parents have so much money to flush down the toilet hiring bounty hunters otherwise, huh? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gtGJn7R9sty7qmw.html LOL, schizophrenic. There's a reason why all the best artists in the world aren't quite sane.

Brian Fortie Disney said Grey Jedi don't fit in star wars. Stop watching Dash star.

They essentially confirmed that there are no Grey Jedi in the new canon. You're either a Jedi or you're not. For instance, Ahsoka was a Jedi, but now she is not. Maul is not a Sith, but is also very much not a Jedi. Bendu isn't really anything, though he's the closest one might come to a "balanced" individual. Though it also makes him very fickle and not particularly reliable. We could discuss how the Force itself works, but that's a bit more complicated, I think.

Exactly!!! All went to the toilet with Disney thinking in the force as magic, and trying to make it human with the "everything is part bad and part good" dogma. Force was based on Taoism and is not human as it is above us all, it is natural not supernatural and by no means its some kind of superpower with opposing poles.

Andrew Jenkins Bendu is part of the rewritting of the force. How the force works is quite complex yet definable, I have some links I'll get in a second.

Grey Jedi aren't a thing. Bendu is the one in "the middle" and the Mortis father tries to balance both, but according to the Lucasfilm Story Group (Matt Martin), Grey Jedi aren't canon and go against what George Lucas is talking about. The dark side corrupts.

Has she said that?! haha I bet she just said it to get brownie points from the interested parties. That said, the dao, which is what the Force is largely based off, has been discussed by some daoist scholars as being 'maternal' in that it brings about (i.e. births) the order of the universe and the 10,000 things. But then that shouldn't be confused with yang (male) being more important than yin (female).

Bloody useless I thought Yang was masculine and Yin was feminine. Not particularly male or female though, because both genders have both energies.

Well-spotted. That should teach me to re-read what I've typed! But you're right, a man has both male and female qualities, and a woman has both female and male qualities.

That's why I hate her, she see's Star Wars as a big dollar sign or Political tool! While Lucas was more deep,caring and insightful while expanding on the Mythos. -Pat

Except it was for a Nike campaign promoting women specific Air Force shoes. She just thought it would be funny for the head of Star Wars to jump in on that. Believe me, I hate what Kennedy has done to the franchise, but taking things out of context doesn't help an argument.

again that was poorly executed with Luke being out of character and how he handled his Nephew... even that was a case it was even more out of character for him to just give up.. especially when he deliberately left a map for the resistance to locate him if things get too chaotic.. but nope that writing was completely disregarded because he stated that he intended to die on the planet.. completely abandoning his friends and family under Snoke Tyranny. His lack of action for Years led to the death of so many innocent people..

@@elpopman2055 when he left a map?Leia must ask San tekka to help her because she need to find his brother, San tekka searched a map to a place where may be he can be and R2 has the rest obtained in the death star in New hope,the same part that FO had. If Luke wanted to be found, he would left a sign to Leia, his sister, the one that can talk to him through the force, Leia would say "help me" and he would come, not leia risking the life of people to try to find him. All began since tfa.

@@dreamslove1184 again that it's a crap argument because Luke Left a map in case anything bad happened. You're basing all this on headcanon and Feelings. You need to stop defending crap and accept that Rian Johnson screwed The Star Wars Trilogy over. .. even admit that hr wanted to divide the audience if you he Never Read The Complete Draft of Force awaken Awaken. Luke clearly wanted to be found if the Galaxy Needed him and He was Clearly safeguarding secrets So Snoke and First order will Not get Their Hands On it... the fact that he left the map in the first place showed he wanted to be found.. do you really think he would try to make it too easy for them to find him?

@@elpopman2055 that is not my headcannon. That is the canon.The final product they showed not a draft. Luke didn't leave any map. One part the FO and R2 obtained it from the empire. But it is incomplete. San tekka obtained another part to the place he suspected Luke can be, Han said they THOUGHT he left looking the first jedi temple, they suspect, not sure, so they searched a map for that place. If Luke want to help he must have left that island along time ago. Leia had 6 years fighting against the FO alone.The force awakens said he just walk away from everything when a student turn against him and he felt responsible, nothing about Snoke's secrets. If you don't like Luke of VIII is because the force awakens. So according to you, Luke is leaving the FO and Snoke winning more power, the man that felt when his friends are in danger in other movies that can talk with his sister through the force, his sister doing everything to find him, he is ignoring her, han is killed, entire systems destroyed and he didn't decide to appear to help in the force awakens not even in the end of the movie? So when he would appear when the entire galaxy is destroyed?. To be found for what? he just need to appear, not someone searching for him. All the problem began in force awakens.

@@dreamslove1184 again there is no indication that this Canon... again you clearly do understand luke character and you don't understand the creative differences between Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams.. again Luke left the map in case you needed to be found. 😂😂 .

fundhund62 they have all the time

Can't see it happening without more or less settling the debate about the nature of the Force, which is why I both doubt and discourage it.

PercyLeMat Well the Bendu is a good representation of the middle ground

In a way, yes. I used to really dislike Bendu due to the way he seemed to be trotted out as definitive proof of a specific view of the Force. Since then, though, I've seen and heard enough nuanced interpretations of Bendu that I don't mind him anymore. He demonstrates what he at least describes as a middle position, but also leaves room to question whether his "centrism" is actually viable for anyone else. As I recall, he actually discourages the mixing of Jedi and Sith teachings because he doesn't think people would be able to handle it. Some have even suggested that his neutrality, while philosophically interesting, is only practically possible as long as people mostly leave him alone.

The dark side unbalances the Force. Lucas says this in the video. After Return of the Jedi we should have had Balance but Ben ruined it.

joshuamlee98 There has ever been a concept of balance. The gray type of balance of now is due to a rewriting of Star Wars.

It's the root of every single religion not just Christianity. The light and dark side of the force is also the Ying and Yang. The force itself as a life energy was inspired by the "Chi"

Oriental religions have the idea of malice and virtue too. Christianity is more dualistic, but all the religions say "choose the virtue/ligth path over the malice/dark one ". the difference is that in religions like Buddhism or Taoism evil/malice is part of the life and not a creation of an external entity (a devil). But beside this in East as in West, the humans must learn to overcome their selfish side.

That's not the original idea. In the earlier drafts the Kyber Crystal could amplify either the Ashla or Bogan. It was neutral. The wielder determined which it amplified.
