James Cameron's Story of Science Fiction Clip "George Lucas"

James Cameron was working as a truck driver when he first saw Star Wars in 1977. He quit his job and turned his skills towards becoming a film maker. I bet he thanked George for inspiring him. It's incredible to see these two pioneers sitting down together and reflecting on the genre that they helped forge. Amazing.

As soon as I hear George Lucas's voice, I hear Star Wars.

Just pause for a moment and savour this George Lucas and James Cameron are in one frame

So glad to hear that Cameron knows and cherishes the prequels.

The joy on George's face at 2:42 when someone is quoting the prequels in a good way

Love or hate what Star Wars has become, there is no question George Lucas was one of the most fearless filmmakers who have ever lived. A lot of people hate the prequels but you can't deny he made some very bold choices in those films. It takes guts to not just give the audience more of what they want. He wanted to tell a complete story.

So this is how liberty dies… with thunderous applause. Love that quote! Love the prequels , Love you George... You to Jim

Two sci-fi geniuses on a discussion table.

As a a huge Titanic, Terminator, and Star Wars film, these two guys in an interview together makes my day

Amazing to see two great story tellers sitting opposite each other chatting. Would love to see a film conceptualised by George Lucas and written and directed by James Cameron. I think that could be pretty great.

Lucas speaks with intelligence and understands the culture star wars stands within. Thanks George for giving us great stories!

"So this is how liberty dies . . . with thunderous applause." I read that in the ROTS book a month before the movie premiered May 19, 2005, and I thought it was the best line in all of Star Wars.

Oh, how I miss Geroge Lucas as a filmmaker. One of the boldest and most fearless filmmakers that has ever lived. I wish he did those experimental films he always talked about.

Come back George, we miss you.

two legends and everything for the world cinemaaaa

Two of cinema's greatest story tellers in one room. How is the universe not imploding?

Now the empire owns Star Wars.

George Lucas ♥

Brilliant men! Thank you George! Star Wars is Lucas. Lucas is Star Wars.

2 master directors of our time.

The music makes me feel like he's giving the speech of the century :D

You can say whatever you like about the prequels but you can't deny there was great passion behind those films The same cannot be said of the disney ones

George Lucas is one of the most underrated human beings of the last 100 years.

This is why Lucas was and will be the best! History, philosophy are missing from the new Star Wars trilogy. His touch is missing sadly :(

Cameron gets it. He GETS the best part about the prequels. I consider them amazing movies, although not perfect, as no film is perfect. But they are extremely good art IMO. And I always knew someone like Cameron would get it, doesn't surprise me at all. The themes explored, from the pitfalls of being a control freak, fear of not being able to control things, attachment to abstract things like not wanting to forget a memory. And the themes of populism and the dangers of people giving away their own liberty because of blind faith in the leader. THAT is just amazing. I only wish they had shown what exactly it IS about Palpatine, that makes the senators trust him so much. WHY is it that like Hitler, Trump or Modi (not that they are all equally bad) lead people to give up their own rights in favour of the leader's power? We know the answer to this. Now give an explanation to why it is the case with Palpatine too. Only thing missing IMO That being said, these films are far too imaginative to really claim they are "bad movies" because they have SO MUCH good about them. Quite unlike the cash grab trilogy

I would be highly interested in what George could do nowadays. Can you imagine him doing a film or maybe even a video game? It'd be super cool. Mythical, deep, but approachable, like most of his work.

To a person like myself who is just of fan of movies & the people who make them, it’s just awesome to watch the most talented directors talk about what motivates them to make the movies we love. 👍

Star Wars needs you back George...

George Lucas...You are amazing. Thank you for your visions.

Imagine James Cameron directing a Star Wars film!

This is literally a historic interview we are watching. Basically two gods of cinema are speaking together.

The Greatest Filmmaker of all Time & the Greatest Action Director- in one room.

No Egos Here just PURE Love FOR the Art form. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Surely, I can't be the only who wants to walk up to George, hug him and just say I'm sorry. Not for me but for how he was treated with the succession sham of a trilogy

George Lucas I still sitting in aw when you talk about stuff. I wish you still were making Star Wars. You were like a Father to so many kids just listening to you talk and imagine the Magic and unknown of your worlds... :(

This is awesome.Thank you George Lucas for Star Wars. So much love for the Prequels and Originals! Your achievements are outstanding.

That shit at the end "it has to have immaculate reality even thou its not real" THIS is what disney SW and most other sci-fi these hollywood types dont seem to understand.

In this day and age, nothing puts a smile to my face more than seeing George Lucas.

Thank you for putting quality content and quality philosophy in the story to help people be aware of historical and present topics.

2 of the greatest directors that have ever lived. This is gold :)

We need to see these two make a movie together. *Stat.*

This is exactly why George Lucas is the only one who can tell the true story in HIS universe. Everything else is an interpretation. There’s more to it than spaceships and explosions.

It's a fascinating interview. Thanks for sharing.

Great interview. So many brilliant social points made.

Absolutely amazing

man this two guys have more talent than complete disney factory today.

I'm really enjoy those videos. Two main stream filmmakers, talking about subjects their cannot explain in ordinary interviews.

2 of my biggest inspirations as an aspiring visual artist. "Immaculate reality", that's what a great artist do especially Science Fiction artists, materialize the dreams into a tangible reality for us to bask into.

George Lucas: "Mostly its..." *James Cameron interrupts him* Mostly its what? MOSTLY ITS WHAT?!

ONly thing more impressive than Star Wars is how George still has a FULL THICK head of hair at the age of 70. That guys has some good genes.

Beautiful... this whole presentation is alluring.

I would love to listen to both of these guys for longer. I respect both of them very much - excellent storytellers and very smart.

Even back in the day people hated George for the prequels, I defended them for how good they are to me. If it wasn't for him and many other creators or films or music or shows that inspired me and many other aspiring creators, we wouldn't have found ourselves. Star Wars films (including VII & VIII) are my main inspirations for storytelling along with many other films or music that help me create my own original plots or adaptations. George Lucas was the main reason why Star Wars got popular, he did the writing and direction behind the scenes. He pulled his own weight and wanted what he made to be what he wanted to see in theaters or in his house, but what really helped was the people around him helping his vision succeed. His wife was the main editor after the horrible editors picked for the first film but because he had people helping him, he became a legend worth praising. But it was a shame that even he knew people wouldn't look at his prequel series if he directed them and asked for help, but there was one thing all the directors said, 'no', why? Because it was his vision and that he should work for it to see his vision come to life. A cocky move but it's his work, not Spielberg's, David Lynch's or anyone else's, it was a George Lucas original. Plus it was a lesson of self discipline, because the more people bashed on George, the better he made the prequels (the second was alright and felt like a Star Wars film before it got good, by that I meant it had a lot positives and negatives but it was different from the original trilogy because it was in the past) as you could see in the third film. It was my favourite and had great action, great musical score and perfect acting (no matter how bad you think it might be, The Room was a prime example for how to not make a film). George will always be one of my influences for storytelling and world building, the negatives obviously have to be taken out and figure out what really works and what feels engaging and what feels exciting. Also because of the prequels, I have a love for music in fight scenes that are in sync with each other. Thanks George for starting something incredible.

prequels love it omg it

Man, what a conversation! Love both these guys.

A great privilege to see, even through media, these two outstanding figures in cinema.

Cameron really didn't understand his point about america being the empire

George Lucas, the reason my childhood was awesome...

oh man the production is insane! George Lucas contributed to humanity so much through his movies! Well done

This is amazing for me to see George and James together because Star Wars and Terminator are my favorites Sagas

I miss George's ideas in the new movies. A shame to see what SW became. True saga will always be episodes I - VI, the others are just filler.

THX 1138 is for me one of if not the most underrated movie of all time it’s truly a masterpiece of sociological structure and what is essentially a police state with its inhabitants being herded and controlled using subtlety which is a fascinating and thought provoking concept it truly shows what cinema is capable of doing

I am an old-fart sci-fi freak who saw ANEW HOPE in '77 and ALIEN in '79 in theatres (together with other flagships like E.T., GHOSTBUSTERS, INDIANA JONES, TERMINATOR, etc.). Later on, being also a comic book collector and watching this short clip, my mind goes directly to a potential comic book title: ALIENS vs. JEDI: THE CROSSOVER. P.S.: I really miss the old hype of EMPIRE STRIKES BACK in 1980. I couldn't sleep for days before and after the movie...

George Lucas is and was the best story teller of star wars

Thank the Maker!

Legendary Interview, 2 two legends 🤯🗿🍷

Pretty much these 2, Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott are the reason why I love so much SCI FI and CYBERPUNK, thanks you guys.

James Cameron and George Lucas .... wow

"Nobody can beat Titanic" - George Lucas

seeing this 2 legend in one room is like what they call the best fanservice ever

Two cinematic legends in the same room. There is a god after all

Wouldn t this crazy if these two creators made film with their styles. 400 opening , 2billion global and 3.5 billion to cap it off

George!!!!!!!

Love George Lucas - Total inspiration ⛩😎🎬🎥

George is and will always be the Man. Salute

Star Wars will never be the same without him...

I love George Lucas! And I love the six wonderful films he gave us! Star Wars died the day he sold it..

Immaculate reality. I can listen to these two talk about films all day.

A person I really adore... His creative mindset with mind-boggling storyline for Star Wars made me realize that Star Wars is more than a movie

People can say what they want about Lucas but as soon as Star Wars was sold to Disney, all the magic have faded. Star Wars is dead

Love it , The Masters :)

Two big great legends

This is an incredible interview. Very intellectual

It is so sad how false hatred can lead to a tragedy (of Lucas). He has "failed" because he made so fantastic first trilogy later the fans thought that with the prequels Lucas made a bad decision. I think those fans were ungrateful to Lucas who has decided to show more about the story on the screen. Then he just sold his child (he got tired by the criticism) and now we won't know what would have been the real story of the last Skywalker trilogy. :( One thing is sure by his interviews that we would haven seen more about Skywalkers in ep 7-9. But Disney have thrown out the old ideas.

This makes me hate the new movies even more. Instead of the first order suddenly being in charge with no explanation it should have been the rebels were now the government that was struggling with governing a galaxy and there was resistance from certain groups that feel left out of the rebuilding and gather support like a napoleonic figure after the French revolution succeeded

Wow I could to listen to them all day

Brilliant stuff

The new Disney trilogy makes me love and appreciate the prequels saga now. ( rogue one was good)

I’ve always held appreciation for The Prequels but George Lucas really caught lightning in a bottle with the Original Trilogy. So thankfully, It’s those 3 films that will resonate with people until the end of time.

Love this Video! Love George Lucas! Love Star Wars!

I sit-up to watch the movies these two made, just as I do with Ridley Scott. BRAVO.

One life-sized mistake of George Lucas is selling Star Wars to Disney. They immediately discarded all his ideas at once, canceled The Clone Wars series, converted all George's canon into legends and started mass producing shitty shallow movies for quick massive profit on a well established name.

Magnificent, wish so much this man had wrote episode 8" and this other guy could or directed it for him,

Very Pleasant presentation.

Two awesome gentlemen..

Say what you want about the prequels but they were bad because Lucas wabted to do too much, not because he didn't care about film-making. He tried to do new things and avoided what pretty much every film maker and publisher does, which is to take the safe route and put out generic crap. Disney being a perfect example.

George is a genius

Inspirational, inspiring people🌟✨👍

What a great discussion.
