George Lucas on Watching Movies on Phones

Twenty-four hours after the new trailer for J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens debuted online and damn near broke Twitter, the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival gave New York City’s biggest fans of the franchise the best possible post-trailer gift: the mastermind himself, George Lucas, in person inside the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC). Making the sweetness even sweeter, Lucas was interviewed on stage as part of this year’s Tribeca Talks® series by Stephen Colbert. And over the course of one laid-back, informative, and often-hilarious hour, the two titans of their respective fields didn’t disappoint.
In this clip, Stephen Colbert asks George Lucas how he feels about the idea that people can now watch movies on their phones. Lucas responds by saying how he makes his movies for the big screen and believes that movies work best on the big screen. Lucas also discusses how he was asked in the past why he does not make his films more friendly to the ancillary market like television for example. He tells the audience “if you want the full experience go see it in a good theater with a good sound system and with lots of people, it works best there.”

There's 6 versions of the first film: 1977 Star Wars, 1979 Star Wars Ep 4, 1997 Special Ed, the 2004 cut, the 2011 cut and Maclunky.

@himynameisben95 3 жыл бұрын

There's way more than that. The original cut sent out to a small number of theaters, the mono and stereo versions, revised versions of those sent out after the first release, the mono and stereo versions of the 1979 cut, the grindhouse version... it's actually insane how many cuts of Star Wars are out there. People want the "original" version that they saw in theatres, but for two different people, that could be two different versions. A lot of the audio changes in the Special Edition aren't changes made for the SE, but rather changes made way back in '77 for the Mono or Stereo releases.

The 1997 Special Edition is the only one that adds deleted scenes, so the story is altered. The rest of them are more like tweaks of the same movie. The Maclunky version is hardly different at all, except for that one Maclunky shot.

For once, I found something me and George Lucas legitimately agree on. There's nothing wrong with watching a movie on your phone. But watching a movie on the big screen is just a vastly different experience.

@TheScure 2 жыл бұрын

It's not just the screen, as he said a proper sound system. Deep sounds alone are different in a cinema or good sound system. Watching mobile+headphones will never give the same experience

I've seen on television 98% of all movies I have seen and I see most of my favorite films on DVD, not Blu-ray, not Streaming, and I don't have any problem at all. People claiming watching Dune in IMAX versus regular cinema is a huge difference... 😂😂 I even enjoy some films more watching them in my television than in the cinema.

Jai Hayes Disney didn’t fully own those old Star Wars films. Fox had distribution rights to five out of the original six until 2020, the exception being a new hope which was owned by then forever. When Disney bought fox that’s when they got the full rights to it. Lucas made that cut with the thought that Disney owned the full rights to it with the purchase

If you're watching movies on the phone you probably either can't afford a nice setup, which is understandable; or you don't give a crap, in which case you're not a serious movie lover anyway so no one cares what you think.

Honestly the big screen experience is very overrated and watching a movie at home has so many more advantages over watching one in a theater. Get yourself a phone holder clamp so you don't have to hold the phone and a good pair of headphones and watching movies on a phone works just fine.
