Lucas Returning to Digital Animation

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hire-me dept.

deadwood writes "It seems Lucas is creating a Digital Animation studio as a subsidiary of ILM, according to this Yahoo! article.
Lucasfilm Animation is created roughly 17 years after George Lucas sold Pixar to Steve Jobs. I wonder if Episode VII-IX would be a good choice as first projects?"

    Mr Lucas and I used to have an admirable arrangement. I gave him money, and he gave me good films.

    In recent years however, he's rather been letting down his side of the bargain. I still gave him money, but he gave dross in return. It seems that most of the reason he's given me dross is because of an obsession with digital filmaking - looks like he's much more interested in the technology behind the film than in the film itself these days.

    Bah. Bring back model-making and puppetry, and hire a decent set of writers...

    Cheers,
    Ian
