I know George made a lot of decisions which fans weren't happy about, like Special Edition changes to the OT and not releasing the original cuts, the way he handled certain scenes in the prequels and how Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull turned out. But I think it's pathetic how certain fans bashed on him and went so far as to say "George Lucas raped our childhood!". I don't necessarily agree with all the choices George made myself, but I don't go hating or bashing on him. If I ever met him, I'd give him a hug like Ewan does at the end here and thank him for creating Star Wars in the first place.

@@AndrewChapman he never released the originals cause the originals did not represent his complete vision. They were incomplete.

Not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the latest movies and series on Instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my brother lately xD

@Blake Pablo yup, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself :)

It's a shame the movies sucked. Funny,the best Star Wars movie wasn't directed by George Lucas. 🤔

@@jonnyshanon2103 nice troll

@@skippz5567 how is that trolling? That's a fact! Care to refute that?

@@jonnyshanon2103 and that movie wouldn't have happened if not for george lucas.

@@callum6486 which is fine. He's a great story teller. But when it comes to directing,he oddly falls flat. Look what happened with A New Hope. The movie was horrendous until Paul Hirsch and Richard Chew saved it in the editing room.

That's such an underrated quote

lennyboy1998 by what?

Biped Of the century By giving his all in creating a great story, if it wasn’t for him Star Wars wouldn’t exist shouldn’t that let alone be enough? He made everything and did his all, he was original and made a flowing story unlike Disney

LOLOL

@@txkyo6930 Of course he did. He's an artist, not a corporate shill.

He did and I love him for it! George Lucas is the best!

Fun Fact: As George was working on Episode I he actually helped PJ and co to create pre visualization on LOTR using computer technology.

Just bypass the compressor. Duh

You can tell he loves it, his passion definitely translated into how well he portrayed Obi Wan.

Opposite of Alec.

He gave him a hug cause it was the last time he work with him it was over for good.

Steev Rawjers You poor poor person

@@TheBroz What's wrong about that? So what if people like the prequels even if they're bad? Same goes for the sequels.

@@AndrewChapman The Prequels were not perfect but good ! And added a bigger universe to Star Wars, even tho it had some drawbacks. the Sequels are not even Star Wars like, they break every meaning and Lore created by 6 the older movies... they make the Star wars Universe smaller and uninteresting. + they had no plan whatsoever, it's worse then bad fan-fiction.

@@darksidedelta The prequels were not good, they're bad movies strung together with some interesting ideas. The sequels are good movies where the ideas are a little chaotic but ironically they probably listened too much to the fans. The Force Awakens came out and fans complained it was nothing new so they made the Last Jedi and the fans complained that there is too much new so they made Rise of Skywalker which fans hate because I guess they consider it mandatory to hate on Star Wars movies these days just like they've made Kennedy the new villain and George has returned to hero status. George never really had a plan for either the prequels or the originals, he had vague ideas and then made up the rest as he went along that's why when you get to Revenge of the Sith everything feels rushed because he didn't leave himself enough time to wrap up the story he wanted to tell in the first place.

@@CraigBickerstaff i know that george didnt plan it. But the prequels have more interesting ideas then the sequels; the sequels have nothing but boring characters and worst story telling then prequels. Disney didn't have any idea of what they were doing and JJ abrams wasn't the good person do to it.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA LOL

New Lucasfilm under Disney also does masterful work. There is no reason to be so divisive.

+ZEZERBING criticized by nerds who can never be pleased, Episode 3 is actually a very loved movie by the public, but the tyranny of nerd culture continually hates on it because its not the originals

+Billy Blaster The effort put into these movies is appreciated by many Nerds... just not most of them, but you can't deny the horrible direction and writing.

GrumpyGameBoy what horrible direction? and a few lame lines? big deal. the original trilogy has a boat load of cringe worthy lines

+Billy Blaster Yes, but the acting was believable, and because of that the lines were less lame and more intriguing. With the prequels, George Lucas always seemed to want the actors to be direct. Sure there were scenes with emotions shown, but its not about a few scenes with okay acting, its about either all or mostly.

GrumpyGameBoy "“Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking Nerf herder" A classic line to be sure, but if a line like that was spoken in a modern day movie, it would labeled as 'bad writing' and everyone would make fun of it. It gets a pass from nerd culture because it is nostalgic. But in reality, that line is just downright goofy. Yes the romance scenes in the prequels were cringe worthy, but nerd culture turns a blind eye to border line incest in the original trilogy. If they had that borderline incest story line in modern day movies, it would be considered 'bad writing' and people would make fun of it. It gets a pass because nostalgia though. ""I know....somehow...I've always known." I mean come on dude the list goes on and on. The point is harsh critics of the prequels like you are not being honest with yourself. The prequels are extremely similar to the original trilogy, but your rose tinted nostalgia goggles blind you to the truth. In the end both movies have some cringey lines, but the originals get away with because of nostalgia. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. I love all 6 star wars movies, but Episode 2 is meh.

I hate schedules, they are course, dry and dense. They get everywhere.

I believe he's the guy who came up with Rogue One.

@@ender7278 he and his brother made photo shop fun fact

Jason Leggett yes reminds me of when Star Wars was great again

There is only forward!

Hehe, so did I lol

channel siskart I have mixed feelings about the prequels too I'm not sure whether the Prequels are amazing or awesome or amazingly awesome Or which of The Prequels is my favorite film 1 2 Or 3

i guess that's what happened with TFA & Oscar winner Michael Arndt - perhaps he just got writer's block and so JJ Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan had to take over.

Mackenzie Mitchell Everyone has changed their tune on Lucas since Disney has taken over and called in multiple napalm strikes on the saga. Many MANY of Disney's beers are being held.

This comment makes me feel way too old. The best computers money could buy in 2004-05 were damn good. Not like they were working with rudimentary hardware.

It wasn't that long ago 🤣

RandomGuy285 there were no multivore cpus and even that one core was more than 3x weaker than todays cpus. Clocks were also significantly lower. Sorry but todays mainstream cpus are way more than 10x faster. Not even talking about no SSD and very slow RAM

@@Gregoses Well yeah obviously slower but still quite a lot could be achieved if you had the money.

It was 2005 there where good computers you should ask yourself that question back in 1977

People have realised that, and learn grammar, dumb fuck.

MrParkerman6 i had a seizure reading that idiot’s comment haha

Ricardo Amado true I have yet to hear a successful movie director that does not say George Lucas is A good director

Ricardo Amado true let alone write AND direct it

Let’s not forget George created all these characters in his head. People love Vader people love Luke and too think he got people to love Anakin and Obi Wan. We might not like some of the changes George did to the original trilogy but we still love the aspect of Star Wars and the characters.

Exactly

I don’t get paid millions of dollars for it though...

@wespozo I love the prequels but the romance in episode 2 made no sense

Every movie goes through a period of reshoots. It is a natural part of filmmaking.

Considering how often the Hollywood press writes about re-shoots as though it's a sign of chaos and disaster on a film it's not all that surprising that people would assume re-shoots are the result of a bad director. In reality, I think re-shoots are more of a luxury of big-budget films these days. If you think something isn't working in the edit you can fix it with a re-shoot. It's not a fool-proofed process by any means but it can give you some added security for the final product. If George is a bad director, I would say he's really more of a bad writer it would be that he has a tendency to neglect things that make a movie more human and he doesn't have much respect for the audiences ability to grasp certain things and ideas which leads to some very ham-fisted dialogue and editing choices.

to be fair the original Star Wars was a disaster it was saved in the editing room. Marcia Lucas doesn't get enough credit!

Like a sports coach who always just tells people to walk it off.

Almost every major film has reshoots.

?

yuvalandspeed This comment is from 7 years ago. Today I’ll answer: George was excited to film pickup shots of quick moments, character beats, and interactions that he could then place in the edit to fill out the pacing of the scenes. The VFX guy was more skeptical, but George knew how helpful these would be to make the actions flow in the final cut

2003/2004 btw

See there's always two sides to every Schwartz 💍 ring, an up side and a down side.

why anti?

The last scene filmed was actually in January/February of 2005 (after this webisode came out) and it was the scene of Anakin running to his speeder to go confront Mace & Palpatine.

That scene was probably the one in Utapau that he's coming out of the water, his hair is semi-wet and he's holding the breathing device

@@CBright7831 I thought it was the one between Anakin and Padme on the balcony? Where Natalie Portman looks so much thinner than she does in the rest of the movie, because she was prepping for "V for Vendetta"...

TVperson1 It’s high definition tape it’s a thing most films are still shot on tape. Then gets digitized for the edits but there’s always a raw film reel of every film ever made.

Wrong, HD didn't exist when the prequels were made, dumbass.

They did. The reason episode 3 is the best is because it contains 60% of the backstory.

Every movie has reshoots. This video even talks about an Episode I reshoot.

Uh... we've got the shooting script for "Episode II", so we can pretty much COMPARE the finished film to it and see what was reshot and added. :-/

11 days for reshoots I think

No the 11 days was to come back and film parts that they didn't film when they where actually shooting the film (which was probably a 2 month process)

Was probably whatever video editing suite he used at the time as these were uploaded over a decade ago.

Tyler Crebs i think they meant the last 500 shots, star wars episode 3 was thousands of shots

No the reshoots were made in 11 days

No he’ll no that’s not long enough the reshoots they had 11 days to do before editing

That's what everyone does.

Ooska Gaming Rogue One was a good film, especially the ending.

Rouge one was .. in my opinion, the best of the new star wars movies.

Rouge One was good little too much jumping around in the beginning but settles down to a nice ending and good movie overall

Starky R lol

Jonny Shanon true all these reshoots they did not help all that much Except To make the movie even More awesome The Prequels are amazing

@@steevrawjers yeah,more amazingly shit. What was amazing? Jar Jar stepping in poop? Long drawn out Senate meetings? The cardboard acting?

@@jonnyshanon2103 jar jar stepping poop yes the long drawn out senate meetings yes and cardboard acting ? says who ? says you ? in my opinion the acting was great to each their own opinion

@@steevrawjers Lol,I don't believe you think that. Come on now,even you have to admit that. There's some pretty bad cringe inducing dialogue. Just watch the acting between Padme and Anakin in the Meadows. The only one who was superb was Palpatine. Especially during that great scene with him and Anakin in ROTS.

C.Y.N.I.C.Union The only movies I’d touch would be one and two. In episode 1 I’d increase the lightsaber battle it’s good but I’d make it a bit longer more fighting shots. Try to decrease Jar Jars screen time it’s hard without wrecking the film too much. And lastly cut out some of the slow boring shots. For episode 2 I would redo the cgi to not look like a video game it’s overall got good action just looks so fake gotta clean it up. For episode 3 I’d change nothing it’s pretty good as is.

donaldthescottishtwin (DTST) Like what?

@Marcelo Zuniga oh yes, a whole bunch!

Explain them all cause I didn’t see any

*not have, yu dumbass.

George didn't write the dialogue for Revenge of the Sith. He hired Tom Stoppard to write it. You might want to look him up on wikipedia. Stoppard is considered one of the world's most talented writers IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. He has four Tony Awards and an Oscar for this writing. It amuses me you couldn't tell it wasn't George's work, you just spouted the usual internet cliche and had no idea what you're talking about. If you had an ear for dialogue you would have been able to tell he hired a script doctor to polish the dialogue, which has been going on in Hollywood for about 75 years, in case you didn't know it.

Agreed.

+Ira ProV You should learn English.

+Joonatan Kuula really fucktard?

+Ira ProV generally accepted best Star Wars film? Empire Strikes Back, directed by Irvin Kershner. maybe you're not old enough to have seen the original films, eh?

Artizan Wasn't talking to you... And anyway the fuck's wrong with you? I said absolutely nothing to you.

You mean he needed to replace himself?

Apparently he is not very good in terms of writing and directing

@@sadenb better than Kasdan and Abrams did unsupervised.

Nah, George Lucas as a star wars writer is perfect. Btw, he's better than Ruin Johnson

@odeerg Yeah he just wrote the most iconic movie franchise in history, what a bad fucking writer.

Look at the shooting .. It's like in a blue and green box

I know what are pickups . The main shoots were pretty much the same . I know many VFX artists like Jim Rygiel , Randal Cook . They have pretty much told me the general way of shooting . But SW was really bad because the screens used to composite images must need real backdrop . But seeing from star wars the dialogue scenes are done by walking on green stages with totally digital backdrops even in the conversation scenes . That was 2000s and all out VFX was not done well ... I don't believe CGI was the biggest problem of SW but it was an important problem .

The Clone environment , All the Coruscant backdrops , the whole temple composite in the first movie , the list goes on and on . . Look the difference between 77-83 and 2000 was 77-83 were photographed elements , so basically they were filmed and composited. These are not photographed element + The digital technology was at the very nascent stage in terms of shooting the stuff ..What breaks the suspension of belief is the lack of interaction of the characters of the environment and extreme difficulty for the actors because of their inability to react to anything . This is not film making is done . There are more scientific explanations which I can give you but they will be too long . One example is the completely digital shots which do not require any kind of photography . The color distribution in that case amongst the film and even the pixels is never consistent with the ones that is photographed . Lack of visual consistency hurts the subconscious . This is one of the reasons why digital environments are given so much importance these days . There are artists just working on that aspect without the rest of the elements in a particular shot . They usually scan a photographic plate into the environment or do digital matte painting depending on the length of the shot and depth of the field . And secondly except Phantom menace the rest of the prequels were shot in Sony cameras which just came out so it was undercooked. With digital color distribution the nature is always discreet and cannot produce the spectrum of a continuous color distribution as in films .. In 2012-2013 VFX has come leaps and bounds in matching the live action and the composite lighting . All these things matter

i don't think he can delete your comments? Anyway why don't you repost it? What Sanchayan is saying seems to be = what JJ Abrams has done with TFA.

The only thing i've said is Abrams agrees with Sanchayan. Are you saying that Abram doesn't agree or you just using playground insults because your have morality issues? if you've said a post several times with links in it might get automatically treated as spam. i know that's pretty lame it's youtubes fault and the spammers

like you could do better

how many movies have you made ? mmm ? don't call someone being bad when you yourself can't even make anything better.

Coming here in 2019 to inform you about Rogue ONe being 30% reshot and Solo being 80% reshot. This is at most 5% of the movie being reshot, and it is planned.

All movies have reshoots and multiple takes, except for clerks.

Zach Couch you prefer star wars 7 and 8??? 0_O

Still better than the last jedi. Fuck Disney

I love this movie The Prequels are awesome Jar Jar is the key The battle of geonosis is greater than the battle of hoth Dooku is better than boba fett Qui gon trained obi wan Jake Lloyd was perfect
