By now, people hopefully understand the difference between trying and failing (PT) and not caring at all (ST). George wasn't perfect, but he cared about his world and even at their worst the prequels only fail in execution.

I think we are all better for having George Lucas. We wouldn’t have Pixar, ILM, or LucasArts without him. OG Star Wars and American Graffiti were legitimately good. Every other film he did was garbage, however.

His ex wife was why the OG films were so good, and why every Star Wars film after the divorce was such trash.

Honest question, why didn't they hire her later?

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 hours ago

She was a talented editor, and SW and RoTJ are the better for her work. But I think her real contributions during this time was reining Lucas in. He seems to do better with a moderating influence, at least in filmmaking.

Lucasarts was his greatest achievement. It gave us so, so many good games. My personal favorite, Gladius, isn't even a Star Wars game.

Oh man, I never got around to that but I have it. Do you think it still holds up even if someone didn't play it at the time?

I hope they’re nice to him

Please Rich Evans if you’re listening please go to Comic Con in full Lucas regalia. We need this.

What's he gonna do, complain about fans or the deal he made with Disney?

Let’s hope this goes better than the Szechuan Sauce re-release

Fuck George Lucas, he ruined star wars. I know disney ruined star wars worse, but lucas ruined star wars first!

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

All the people telling him he should just write and direct the prequels himself instead of getting someone to do it for him ruined it more.
