Attack of the Clones: Less Plastic Crap, More Story?

Posted by chrisd on from the jar-jar-is-raj-raj-spelled-backwards dept.

Newsweek has an article in which George Lucas states that there were parts of Episode One that were damaging to the Star Wars franchise. (shocker, I know) "The last movie did not live up to expectations." They'll cut the merchandise by two thirds, as they still have tons of unsold Episode One merchandise. Yahoo is also running an AOTC story. Mild spoilers in the linked stories, by the way.

    I think this Lucas quote says it best:


    "There's only one issue for a filmmaker," he says. "Will this make its money back so I can make the next one?"

    From a Time Magazine article.
