That's not true.
Wow - you can tell what would have happened in alternate timelines. Can you tell the future as well? What's the lottery numbers next week?

I'm certain that is the only reason Jar Jar Binks ever survived being edited out of Episode 1 is that no one would dare say to George, "Uh, George, you may not have realized it, but this character is nothing more than an offensive racial stereotype that will not go down well with anyone."

They have standards for the quality of photography, not none for good story telling.
Its not hard if you have talent. But it does become hard because most of the people with the money don't have talent and don't have time for those who do.

Fans asked if they could interview her, and she said sure, so they whipped out ye olde shakycam:

Interesting - the most uptight country in the world that is legal - tsk tsk :)
It isn't in a lot of european countries.

If they are going to do a StarWars reality series, it should obviously be The Amazing Race.
"And the roadblock is: Get a tooth from a sarlac"
"The plot insults you? WTF?
Its a pulp! "

Lord of the Rings?
In places dodgy CG - and a lame plot.
is because it's hard.
