George Lucas Criticizes the Force Awakens (theguardian.com)
RogueyWon writes: While many critics have responded positively to JJ Abrams's take on Star Wars, one particular industry figure seems rather less impressed. George Lucas has criticized the "retro" tone of The Force Awakens and lamented his own lack of involvement in it. Speaking to television talk-show host and journalist Charlie Rose, Lucas quipped that he had sold his "kids to the white slavers that take these things". "They wanted to do a retro movie. I don’t like that,” he said. “They weren’t that keen to have me involved anyway, but if I get in there, I’m just going to cause trouble, because they’re not going to do what I want them to do. And I don’t have the control to do that any more, and all I would do is muck everything up. And so I said, ‘OK, I will go my way, and I’ll let them go their way.’”
...you arrogant ridiculously bouffanted duck-tailed and bearded freak.
I'm happy to concede that this first new movie is pretty much Episode IV revisited - entirely for the purpose of establishing a baseline from which to create actual new movies.
They wouldn't have to do this, you rapist of childhood dreams, if you hadn't created the prequel "movies." 3 movies that will stand forever as a testament to size of your ego - just watch how uncomfortable many of the extremely talented people at ILM/LucasFilm are whenever you talk in your stupid gibberish about the juxtaposition of film and poetry during the 'making of' sessions. A legion of talented people who clearly understand that all they can do is nod their heads and say 'yes...' with confused looks on their faces.
Makes me wish I'd simply swerved hard left when you were driving alongside me northbound on the 101 just north of Corte Madera in 1997, in what I can only assume was your wife's mercedes convertible, Little did I know the horrors you were about to unleash. I was selfish not to.
