Imagine trying to make Star Wars entertaining again...

The original flick had one "black" character in it, Darth Vader----and ultimately, even HE turned out be nice and white, inside. If Wagner were still around, he'd do an opera of it----that's how white it is.

Go back to the corner and keep counting your money, George.

Still, I do take your point and I can't agree with George at this time.

The new movie was done well, and was entertaining, which is far better than what he has come up with as his directing style seems to be stuck in the 70s.

Haven't seen the new movie, will probably wait until it turns up on TV.

I like the new characters, and unlike the last trilogy, the acting is not wooden.

He's just mad this last one is watchable, strike that, good.

Mesa thinks hesa mad about Jar Jar bombing

If he wanted more or full creative control, he shouldn't have sold it. That was not a good moment of yours, Mr. Lucas.

and had no Jar-Jar Binks.

I rather enjoyed the prequels except for Jar-Jar and the overly long pod race. And midichlorians. I saw them as children's movies.

The Force was better as a mystery. This made it a "how much horsepower can be measured on the dynamo-meter" question. It broke the suspension of disbelief. Even Lucas, especially Lucas, should have known this.

The force isn't something that is out there for everyone--it's just for the select few.

Which is why I hope that Rey isn't....well, you know. (Do I still need to worry about spoilers?)

Disney gave you 4 BILLIONS DOLLARS so you would go away. Just do that.

At one point, he delivered a mini-lecture about how "some" directors went overboard with CGI and special effects, and lost track of the story. How can he be so lacking in self-awareness?

Granted I'm a bad geek and didn't really care for the first trilogy as I found the characters very flat, but even in the first trilogy the ewoks prove that he was both lazy in regards to the story as they are really just short wookies with the name reversed that were designed to sell toys rather than adding to the story in any meaningful way.

And the second trilogy was just amazingly bad.

Lucas had originally planned for Endor to be the Wookie home world but that he figured he would make a killing selling Ewok merchandise. The "official" (Greedo shot first) explanation is that he wanted a world with stone age level technology and that Wookies (Chewbacca at least) were shown to be adept with technology.

Maybe Disney didnt take your ideas because they sucked!
