Can Star Wars Episode III Be Saved?

Posted by michael on from the nope dept.

mcwop writes "MSNBC is running a commentary asking: 'Can "Star Wars: Episode III" be saved?' It proposes changes such as ripping off Akira Kurosawa, getting the otherwise good actors to emote, and even firing Lucas. It is one year away, but is it too late to save Episode III?"

    Can somebody please explain to me how there are these thousands upon thousands of discussions on Star Wars throughout the internet, and only a miniscule percentage of them even acknowledge the 800 pound gorilla in the room -- that the series is largely an exploration of Lucas' rather exclusivist and no terribly enlightened religious beliefs. Sure, as watchers of ep 4-6 we were willing to let that slide because, well, it was a fun story, but if you're going to be discussing the movies, their future, and how they pertain to Lucas, you can't not talk about this.
