George Lucas must be so dissapointed in the Sequels


turning his beloved creation into a shit fest with stupid jokes that makes it feel more like a parody. George, we are sorry for the way we treated you after the prequels, we miss you.

He was disappointed in TFA. TLJ must be super depressing for him.

reply

He was disappointed that they threw out his outline for TFA. He never spoke publicly about his feelings on the actual film so we don’t know.

reply

He said of TFA ""I think the fans are going to love it. It's very much the kind of movie they’ve been looking for."

He told Special Ed Johnson that his TLJ crapfest was "beautifully made".

Sounds a lot like the kind of faint praise one would expect from someone who signed a non-disparagement clause in exchange for his $4 billion check.

reply

Maybe. We'll never know unless he actually speaks out about the films.

reply

Actually, his early comments on TFA were rather cranky. Then he changed his story to something a little more positive.

reply

What?

A jokefest parody is what Lucas wanted from Return of the Jedi through the prequels?

Jedi Rocks, creature burps, slapstick death of Boba Fett, Jar Jar Binks, ... oh George, you are soooo funny!

Right

reply

Hey, hes no saint, but id hope if he did have some creative control over the Sequels he would of learnt from his mistakes, I still stuggle to forgive him for the horrid inclusions into the Original Trilogy via the Special Editions, and yes the prequels, but TLJ takes things to another level.

reply

I get that Star Wars fans do not like The Last Jedi, but the prequels did not get any better because of it.

Anakin the pilot prodigy, Anakin the immaculate conception, Anakin the little kid with a crush, Anakin the immature whiner, Anakin the self confessed murderer of women an children, Anakin the murderer of defenseless younglings, Anakin the creepy leering sociopath, Anakin the egotistic jerk, Anakin the universal mamas boy, Anakin the wife abuser .... Anakin cannot be redeemed in the Return of the Jedi because there was no good in him to begin with. If angels fall the furthest, Anakin Skywalker fell from a step stool.

All that and Jar Jar Binks, midi-chlorians, the "prophesy", and more. These films ruined Star Wars. The sequels are just loading on the already festering wound brought by George Lucas. The truth is that no one really gives a damn about Star Wars fans. They make the films they want to make, and Star Wars fans keep coming to the theaters even if what is made is garbage when compared to what good writers with canon in mind could have made.

reply

As bad as prequels were they are still essentially star wars movies. The sequels are something else.

reply

Actually, Xenopharb, the Prequels DID get better.

reply

The prequels had their issues but the critique has been completely exaggerated over the years. However you feel about them they didn't completely undermine the OT the way this garbage Di$ney soft reboot sequel Trilogy is doing

reply

Amen, brother.

He sold his "beloved creation" for a ton of money. I'm sure he's laughing all the way to the bank, whether these movies are good or bad, popular or unpopular. They're good, BTW.
