loonix_gangsta writes "The BBC is running a blurb on the disclosure of Star Wars helmsman George Lucas not allowing Spielberg to direct one of the Star Wars movies. According to Ananova Steven had actually begged George for the job."
I've been waiting for about 12 years to see Yoda bitchslap E.T.
George, please look at the acting. The actors can't act worth crap. Please let me help the actors. You can do all the spaceship stuff. I just want to see a Star Wars movie where the actors seem like they aren't reading off cue cards!
Please!
I have been pwned because my
"George Lucas adamant only he is allowed to make a mess of the Star Wars series. Told Speilberg to go make his money elsewhere."

After seeing Attack of the Clones I almost contacted Lucas begging for the job... anything to stop that man... please stop... please...
"Understand you're having a little Jimmy Page trouble."
Well, Luke and Leia are evenually born, so you can probably figure out how one of the holes is filled...
Did I just actually post that?
"Understand you're having a little Jimmy Page trouble."
Let's not be hasty. I think I want to see this Jet Li and nude Portman movie.

He has some top notch talent in his movies and unless they break free of the crap dialogue...
Indeed. Even Robert De Niro couldn't say
and not look and sound like an idiot.I find your lack of taste disturbing. :)
Harrison Ford was supposed to have said something along the lines of "You can type this crap George, but we have to say it."

While it could hardly be worse than what we've already been subjected to, just think what Episode 3 would be like if all we ended up getting was Spielberg's incessant product pimping on top of crap actors like Hayden Christensen spewing Lucas's junior high love note pap:
"I've thought of her every day for the last ten years, Jar Jar. Every handful of Reese's Pieces reminds me of her beautiful, dark eyes."
"You'sa soundin' like you be needin' a Pepsi, Ani."
Gah!! Why did you say that? Now E3 is gonna be as bad as the Star Wars Christmas Special..
I imagine we will see Episodes 7-9 sooner than expected.
After all, for how long can Lucas ignore Mark Hamill's constant begging letters?
I am a Karma Library.
Is it possible that he does not recognize how bad he sucks? This is the only imaginable excuse I can think of for this.
Have you SEEN his wig? There's a lot that Lucas apparently doesn't realise.
That was classic intercourse!

Natalie Portman: There's a conflict in every human heart between the rational, the irrational, between what's good and the Dark Side of the Force. And Good does not always triumph. Every man has a breaking point. You and I have. Kurtz-- I mean Palpatine-- has reached his and obviously he has gone insane.
Obi-Wan: Annakin, can we see Palpatine?
Wild-eyed Hayden Christiansen: Hey, man, you don't talk to the Emperor. You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet-warrior in the classic sense...
Mace Windu: I love the smell of lightsaber in the morning! Jar-Jar don't surf!

Acting against a blue screen has got to be worse than dealing with another actor.
Some quotes:
Terence Stamp (Valorum): "When I arrived on set for Episode 1, George Lucas said, 'I've given Natalie the day off.' So, he pointed to a piece of paper on a post and said, 'Pretend that's her.' They couldn't afford me again."
Thus proving this prediction...
Mark Hamill: "I have a sneaking suspicion that if there were a way to make movies without actors, George would do it." Early 1980s
