@@janerik5997 YEP! I love the authenticity and unrivaled creativity of Lucas' work and literally NO franchise has even come close to impacting my life the way George Lucas' Star Wars has. I love the PREQUELS (and the OT), no matter how many haters and whiners insult them. Why? Because all of George Lucas' work has a level of spirituality and inspiration that soul-dead, empty, vacuous, useless Hollywood, for all of its glamour and prestige, LACKS, and they envy Lucas for that. I can only imagine how the creation of Star Wars revolutionized an entire generation tired of warmongering, tense racial relations, and corrupt American "leaders" and actually brought HOPE and light to people who wanted to dream of more. Why do you think many new Star Wars fans can watch one of his works and then fall in love and just become completely fascinated with the Star Wars galaxy??? I know I did. Once I saw TCW, I was so impressed by the nobility and values of the Jedi Order and how most of them strove to uphold what they believed was their Republic. Even if they weren't perfect, I loved the contrast the Jedi gave me to the current society and "community" I was in, one that lacked any true sense of community, compassion, or brotherhood. And I craved the inner peace, serenity, and harmony that the Jedi Code taught about. I grew up a Christian but SW helped me to understand practical ways to practice detachment and seek control over my emotions so that I now have a level of contentment I've never had before. I experienced KOTOR (which showed me the pinnacle of Star Wars philosophy and the greatest potential of the Jedi to be a force for good), and it was all history from there. The Jedi gave me belonging and even the Sith taught me much about persistence and willpower. I have learned so many lessons from SW and its amazing characters, from Bastila Shan to Master Vandar to Kreia to Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jin, and Luke Skywalker that people who were "mentors" in my life could have NEVER taught me. And this all came from a story about a farmboy on Tatooine. Has Lucas needed some input and help to bring his ideas to fruition? YES! Any visionary needs support and an exceptional team and that's fine. It is a blessing that he found the team of producers and writers that he had for the OT. That is why those films are so iconic and are compared to the prequels so often because they so radically changed the world when they were released. I don't understand the intense prequels hate because they still encouraged us to dream and produced the most epic SW music yet, no matter how "faulty" they seemed. A story must be told completely not just at the "exciting" parts. Lucas' personal work touches people because it has his SPARK, and we can all see how recent Star Wars material has made people crave that spark that Lucas gave to everything. George Lucas has changed my life and the lives of countless others. He should realize that Hollywood HATES authenticity and not strive to receive recognition from them because they will never give him the recognition he truly deserves. But rest assured that amidst all of the criticism, if he knew the impact he has made in the lives of his true fans- in my opinion - he would know that it has exceeded his wildest dreams! Thank you, George Lucas, for being a VISIONARY and following the call to relay the story of a galaxy far, far away.

[@matthewduhn7906]

Lucas was basically an outsider (independent filmmaker) who was very successful. He created Lucasfilm so that he could have control over his films and avoid meddling from Hollywood executives. Due to his successes and wealth Hollywood resented him. Plus, Lucas also created ILM which Hollywood had to employ for vfx to stay competitive in the game of making blockbusters which, Lucas had revolutionized with Star Wars. So the Hollywood studios dumped on him and were also more than happy to dump on him through their surrogates when the Prequels and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out.

But also a lot of good ones. Each of the prequel movies pushed the ilm guys and gals. When sets where used or costumes they where epic. For me Lucas has always been a joke to Hollywood ( in their eyes). Yet I think he has done more for movies and created diverse casting,, strange new ideas then many of the great directors combined

While PT is not my favourite trilogy, Phantom Menace is my most favourite movie in the Skywalker Saga so this is sad! On the other hand, IMO, the way George chose to do things his own way, instead of caving in to the power of social proof showed that this came from his heart. That he truly believes in it. I think that is why Star Wars withstands the test of time and is loved by people across generations. I’m mighty glad for that!!

i love the prequels and the OT, while neither were perfect, hate the prequels all you want, they're still a helluva lot better then the sequels. cuz i only ever watched the force awakens, and i could already tell you that it didn't feel like star wars, it didn't have the same emotional feel the prequels and the OT had, it didn't give me any reason to care about the characters, the Prequels and the OT actually made me care about the characters, the Sequels just felt bland and boring, EVEN THE LIGHTSABER DUELS SUCKED, and it's sad cuz with the visual effects they made the lightsabers look absolutely awesome, the way kylo's blade flickers in the dark, and the crackling of the blades when it activates, that shit was AWESOME, same with the saber Rey used, ABSOLUTELY amazing, but great special effects does not excuse a bland and boring plot, and tbh i never watched the other two, and from the clips i saw, the movies only got worse

As I say often, I completely agree with you. Those costumes were amazing and my gf who just watched the original 6 starting with OT for the first time said TPM was one of her favorites. Not for the story as much as the characters and costumes, and she loved the Podracing lol. But she specifically loved the Japanese inspired costumes of Padmé and other characters. All in all, George deserved at least a nomination. I believe that because his creativity went wild and had the ability to do so (which as you know he wanted to do with the OT but didn’t have the tech) that Hollywood kinda just thought he was crazy for being so outta the box so to speak with his movie making. I mean, the man did revolutionize the way movies are made.

[@SWgamingShorts]

Big G man deserves max respect

[@JadeDragon1016]

So I am gonna put myself out there, and express the observations I have from the perspective of a 27 year old who grew up being raised on the OG trilogy, but first saw a SW film in theaters with Episode 1 and has loved every film that has ever come out for Star Wars. (For clarification this comment is not directed at you Star Wars Theory, or against any other specific person, but just something that has been on my mind for a while and relates to the general narrative context being discussed in this video - iot is also a condensed version of my thoughts because, who wants to read a book on youtube lol). I am not sure how I feel about this shift in narrative when it comes to people (the fans specifically) wanting to give all this praise to GL. Not to claim he should NOT be getting it (because quite frankly I have never stopped praising the man who gave the world the greatest film franchise in existence period), but specifically in the context that all of a sudden, after what feels like (for me at least) an entire lifetime of people either crapping on GL for choices he has made with the prior 6 films, only to all of a sudden be singing his praises just because they have an issue with the Disney set of films. While I certainly can respect the opinion of those that dislike ANY FILM (SW or otherwise), this idea that somehow "GL should have made the New Trilogy" or "GL should come back to make more SW films" etc etc etc, is fair since a lot of the people (IMO) who are asking for it, are the same people who have been crapping on him since Episode 1 premiered. I mean even now, I see the narrative shifting to, "The prequals were pretty good" or "The prequals had some of the best moments" etc etc etc, despite those movies having not changed. Are any of the SW films perfect? Hell no, I can admit that, but (with respect) if people honestly think that the Disney set of films were so bad that all of a sudden there issues with the GL set of films is null and void, comes across to me as hypocritical. I like all the films, and frankly there is not one film I would go without, or not enjoy watching, and I will attest that I think Rise of Skywalker is the best film of the Disney Set, and Last Jedi was not as bad as people seem to attest (but again thats just my opinion - no shame on those who dislike those films), But regardless of those opinions, they dont CHANGE the GL set of 6 films and the way GL was treated by the fans BEFORE those films. I guess what bothers me is that it feels like peoples apparent hate for the Disney films is so great, that its making them act like its ok to forget that some of those same people hating on the Disney films, were not ALSO hating on the OG and Prequal Films and GL. How can hating one film make you enjoy a film you also (allegedly) hated? I mean its one thing or Hollywood I suppose to take issue with GL (regardless of how asinine the reasoning is) only to regret that decision later, but its another to me (IMO) for the fans to take issue with GL only to act like the alleged mistakes of Disney, Abrams, Johnson (etc) somehow undo the alleged mistakes that GL got shit for. IDK. Again this is a very condensed version of my thoughts on the matter.

[@matthewduhn7906]

Personally, I have never hated on Lucas. I was a fan of the OT while growing up in the 80's. I read the Thrawn Trilogy in the 90's. I was in my early to mid 20's when the Prequels came out, and I enjoyed them tremendously. I also enjoyed The Clone Wars. The only films that left me disenchanted were the Sequels. I thought TFA was bad for copying ANH (this was what I was thinking in the moment, while sitting in my theatre seat, as I was watching the movie unfold while it aped all of the story beats from Episode IV). I couldn't believe that the same people who were bashing the Prequels for not giving them the story that they were expecting were praising TFA for being unoriginal, uninspired and illogical. Marcia Lucas has stated my thoughts exactly that Kennedy and Abrams do not get Star Wars nor the Jedis (nor how the Force works). I do, however, like Rebels, Rogue One, Solo, the Mandalorian, and the Bad Batch which all came out under the Disney banner. But the Sequels do not feel like Star Wars to me.

[@slavesforging5361]

I agree. the costumes in Phantom Menace are the best hollywood has ever seen. no movie can claim to have better costumes, and very, very few can claim to have as good. they are beyond compare. visually, episode 1 was one of the most striking, beautiful, and opulent movies ever made. Naboo and Coruscant are gorgeous, and even the pod race scene in Mos Espa is humbly breathtaking in a sense of almost feeing like a refugee city. Padme's wardrobe alone should've won an award, let alone the senate guards and the naboo aesthetics. The underwater Gungan city was like nothing anyone had ever seen. even the gungan swamps and naboo plains were beautiful. I really appreciated the stark difference between the opulent beauty of the Republic to that of the stark stoicness of the Empire. two totally different visual worlds. Something i like about the Mandalorian is that it shows another visual world, after the fall of the empire. where everything is in decay and disrepair. you can feel the 'new-poor' attitude of everyone in the Mandalorian series. it is what i imagine life feeling like after the second sacking of Rome. that was something the sequal trilogy failed to capture despite their stunning but meaningless visuals. they couldn't create a vibe the way the originals, the prequels, and Mando did.

Episode 1 did get 3 oscar nomination for best sound, best sound effect editting, and best visual effect (the matrix won all of those awards) I didn't really like episode 1 but the costume design was incredible and it should have got an nomination though i didn't it deserve to win the catagory

ive been lucky enough to be in the right city while a star wars exhibition was showing all the original star wars costumes. Princess Amadala's outfits are literally stunning. One of the hedresses were made from the most beautiful pearlescent shells.

Thank you for sharing

I would not put too much stock in the costume thing though. That year (72nd Academy Awards) Ep I was nominated for Sound, Sound Effects Editing, and Visual Effects, and in all three lost to the Matrix. Costume design had the following nominees: Topsy-Turvy - Lindy Hemmingdouble-dagger Anna and the King - Jenny Beavan Sleepy Hollow - Colleen Atwood The Talented Mr. Ripley - Ann Roth and Gary Jones Titus - Milena Canonero I haven't seen any of these films actually, but Sleepy Hollow had both Ian McDiarmid and Christopher Lee in it, which is pretty cool. The rest are basically period pieces in an age of period pieces, with a touch of surrealism. In fact if you watch the trailer for Anna and the King it looks a lot like Episode I's worldbuilding portrayal of an idyllic golden age of peace before an era of conflict and change. And clips from Titus could fit right into a Star Wars film. He basically made a movie that fit right into the market in that time period (because Episode I was basically a scifi period piece itself), albeit with pioneering digital effects no one quite understood yet. So I don't think the fact that Ep I didnt get a nomination in any one category really is evidence that Hollywood dumped on George (even though it may very well have treated him this way).

Yup. I could see that.

I was a huge fan of the Original Trilogy. When I watched Episode 1, I left the theater disappointed. I think George over did it. But 2 & 3 were better and 3 Revenge of The Sith is maybe my 2nd or 3rd favorite. Empire being my favorite.

[@bengitchell8725]

I just don’t understand how people dislike the prequels

[@grrayfox2300]

It depends on what age you first saw the prequels

[@VinoJedi]

Marcia dunking on the Disney trilogy is the end all, be all vindication for us fans that they’re awful Star Wars movies.

[@Welsh_Dragon756]

Of course the Hollywood studios hated George lucas. He stuck a big middle finger up to them by funding the sequels by himself and creating his own studio. There is no chance in hell they would ever forgive him for that.

[@joeyritchie8325]

i was born in 06 and i grew my hair out to look like anakin he was my hero. i remember having lightsaber fights with the cheap ones from walmart, target, etc. then i stopped watching star wars cause i thought there was only movies and clone wars. i couldn’t watch the clone wars unless it was on tv, so i started watching the star wars movies and shows again when mando season 2 came out i finished the movies then mando 1-2 then clone wars then rebels then bad batch. i wouldn’t have watched all of these great shows if i didn’t find your channel. i wouldn’t know what i know if it wasn’t for your channel. every time i see anakin on mustafar i instantly start tearing up. if u guys don’t know if u want to subscribe i think u should

[@tailsprowerfan2729]

[@RaikenXion]

He really did, the thing with George Lucas is hes the only Visionary Creative, Director, Writer and Producer that i know of, who has worked within Hollywood Town, made his movies HIS WAY, within the industry but has never truly been part of it. And Lucas become a huge success, he actually changed the way movies would look, and how they would be made, especially in the sci fi genre, and interms of SFX. George Lucas became a multi-millionaire from the colossal success of his movies, all while keeping the rights, especially interms of merchandising rights. I've always believed Hollywood Town was deeply resentful of George Lucas's huge success with Star Wars, because the rules of Hollywood are that if you write a story and want it made into a feature-film, you have to sell your script to a studio, they get all the rights, and then usually that's why you'll hear so often cases where the original Author of a story, or writer etc, was not happy because the studio, butchered thier story, watered it down, or drastically changed it up, to their liking for the big-screen. The Hollywood studios all practically laughed George Lucas out of town, none of them understood or even wanted to take the time to even try and understand and see his "vision", they just saw a "Giant walking Dog/carpet" and "laser swords in space", and thought it would bomb. Only pretty much one producer Gary Kurtz invested in George and it paid off big time, and the rest is history. But it's important to remember and realize that George proved them ALL wrong!! Even toy company Hasbro at that time didn't want to invest in him to make toys of his characters, and i mean those bosses back then must have been kicking themselves, pulling their receding hairlines out after they saw the phenomenon "STAR WARS" had become in 1977. This is the one main thing i've always took from George Lucas, to always believe in yourself, if you have a idea or a story anything, and you feel you've got something special, that you're really saying something, to hold onto that vision, or idea and work hard to turn it into something; and to NEVER sell it off but try and get it out there to the public conscious on YOUR OWN TERMS, because today it's very different we have all this digital technology, and the internet. This is why i've always greatly admired George Lucas. Lastly i think this resentment toward George may actually be at the heart of why Bob Iger, Alan Horn and one Kathleen Kennedy arrogantly chose to throw out his script treatments for ep7, 8, 9; and instead just make up the sequel trilogy as they went along. They really though they knew better, now that they owned Star Wars, that they could just rip-off and copy what George did and it would be a huge success. They were WRONG.

[@generalbaguette3489]

I think the scene of anakin and padme on mustafar was basically a reenactment of george's life, marcia was padme that wanted a simple life, anakin was george wanting to build his empire

[@maximillian875]

He’d have MY nomination.

[@rqneo5361]

The star wars films 1-6 are almost perfect films in many ways. Music is perfect, set design and costumes are perfect, world building is one of the best ever. They came up with a unique aesthetic that is instantly recognisable and arguably the greatest in the history of fiction. The only thing that sucked was dialogue and yeah that did suck pretty hard and George's direction of the actors wasn't the best. But if those things were fixed all 6 of them would be masterpieces.

[@joepapa9912]

I saw the Star Wars costumes exhibit in NYC a few years back. They were impressive as hell. Especially the Amidala gowns. And yes, the slave Leia costume was surrounded by many creepy, greasy looking, 50 year old guys fitting every negative stereotype of the fandom.

[@molsen06]

The year episode 1 should have at least been nominated for best Costume Design, the award went to Topsy-Turvy. A musical period piece set in 1880's London. To give that an award and not even nominate the gorgeous costumes in Phantom Menace is diabolical.

[@riahsmith4625]

My guy George is the best

[@jbflynn4134]

TBH the prequels to me as a Generation Z'er are almost if not as good as the OG's. Bit of a controversial opinion ngl

[@thebaron2277]

Bruh the majority of our generation loves the prequels

[@matthewduhn7906]

I am a younger Gen-Xer and I always thought that the Prequels and OT were great. Each of these trilogies have their own distinct narrative, but feel very much like they belong in the same galaxy. The OT are a hero's journey (Luke's journey), and the PT are an Aristotelian tragedy (Anakin is a tragic hero). The two trilogies work well together, and in the end Anakin is redeemed.

[@jbflynn4134]

@@matthewduhn7906 in that case, do you think its possible for the ST to be redeemed if another trilogy was made mirroring the PT?

[@matthewduhn7906]

@@jbflynn4134 No, because I didn't appreciate the lack of originality in the Sequels. It's missing the "magic" and in universe continuity.

[@justafemalejedifromhongkon5619]

The video is so smooth

[@congresswallah]

As an Indian, I can say with certainity,STAR WARS can be compared to our classic epics namely THE RAMAYANA or THE MAHABHARATA. He is a visionary par excellence

[@marthamydear7499]

I need to read this book!

[@Filip_Agrippa]

Queen Amidala costume was actually traditional noble Mongol clothes. It wasn't anything new. It was ancient.

[@Torsteen-p3d]

George and his team when creating the original trilogy revolutionised cinema. He gets way too much hate, especially after being probably the single most important director when it comes to the birth of modern movies, special effects and storytelling.

[@BP9000]

after running on the campaign of "Red Tails is the first black action movie" it makes total sense that Hollywood would drop him

[@danieljansson7163]

Star wars theory should make his own studio with others so we can make our own Movies and so ????? And i love George, he deserves everything

[@Gh0stbumbles]

I think phantom menace should have been nominated for best costume design for sure.. Set design tho no.. not at all.

Trisha Biggar’s costume design work in the prequels is nothing but amazing.

I’d say there are way many more aspects than “Costumes” that ppl look over, but yes.

[@KENSHIROez3260]

This is like Human dumping their God because they think they are better than their creator lol

[@rienjen]

Award shows are bogus. That's why they are going down the tubes today; it started long ago with crap like this, where it was more important who you sucked up to than the movie itself. I didn't like TPM, but I LOVED the costumes of the entire prequel trilogy.

[@renemllerhansen4092]

Oh thanks for this video

[@williamsancha3434]

I already knew this, and thanks God he walked away and made his beautiful films that i am a fan of.

[@umbrasunbro2142]

Heck yeah, Star Wars has some dope costumes. He should have been nominated for Queen Amidala’s costume alone! Here design was so cool I even owned one of her dolls. And Darth Maul!? WHAT!? Man, if you were a kid around that time and didn’t think Darth Maul was the coolest bad guy you’re either a lying or wasn’t into Star Wars. That was one of the big things about the prequels, even if the story wasn’t all that good there was always something you can point to and enjoy (Pod Racing).

[@eddiegannon106]

yeah the rookie is a great movie
