Sequel idea: The fans vs George Lucas; The fight for the original unaltered edition of the trilogy.

[@redboy5341]

Good idea but didnt they do that already?

[@Dino23968]

Don’t know

[@logansstory63]

Just a thing about the black Panther success at the time of that interview black Panther let alone the marvel cinematic universe wasn’t expanded so at that time yes they were still saying things like we don’t know how to market a movie with a main black cast. So at the time of that interview black Panther wasn’t even out or talked about. But that tells you that it is possible and can be done. In fact it can be done more and more.

[@apollomars1678]

real reason hollywood wont like to make a big black movie? Red Tails was barely released theatrically outside the US. it made in the box offices 50 million......49.500.000 in the US and just 500.000 in the UK Black panther got white views and foreign views by the sequal-grab $646.8 million internationally, equal to the domestic profit. and a lot of the bad performance can only be prevented by voicing problems with black movies, who seem to be racist......like the simple reality, that i wouldnt watch a whole movie by afroamerican with thick dialects as an european with or without english background and no social contact to afroamericans with this dialect in my whole live. its like listening to K-pop for the first time........and that for 120 min,.......just to understand the story. try to create empathy with the story on this level of communication problems.

[@thoughtsonfitness3249]

George was so right ..... there is no episode 7

[@b_radbrad8899]

His idea for the sequel trilogy was kick ass. I mean the fact it’s inspired by the events of the war on terror seems the best and most interesting direction to go

[@AnonYMouse-ky4sg]

48:50 “There’s 3 more stories and to do it right it’d take 10 more years.” 4 years and 5 movies later....

[@TheFrogspawnedOne]

I'm glad to hear that George is happy, but it seems like such a heartbreaking story. He wanted to find somebody would would cherish and care for his universe, and instead he got... the white slavers.

[@trevstation]

Every time Kathleen talks... “it’s so important that we appreciate.....”

[@makutas-v261]

Equivalent to "can we just appreciate..." comments

[@KrolKaz]

She definitely has some compromising information to have kept that job for so long. Let's not forget she worked closely with Harvey Weinstien for many , many years

[@andrewfortmusic]

It's so grounding to hear that Lucas wants the first line if his obituary to state that he was a good father. Culture would often say otherwise, but children are blessings and he can see that clearly. I love that he makes that his priority.

[@tertiary7]

Now it makes sense. Lucas was an indie film maker with a vision. Disney is very clearly a sausage factory that _grows strong brands and expands creative content to further their growth strategy and create opportunity for the company to drive long term shareholder value._

[@juanita-dark]

Tertiary Adjunct Iger-era Disney doesn't grow brands. It waits for someone else to do the growing and then acquires them. That statement by Iger was not strictly true anymore. The last time Disney made something and grew it seems to be when Walt was alive.

[@Deltasquad382943]

That’s what George Lucas did too lol do you not think that episodes 1-3 weren’t made to sell toys and merch?

[@vgrepairs]

@@Deltasquad382943 do you think Disney would make a movie with even HALF the shocking violence in Lucas' prequels? Even the avengers movies barely show a drop of blood -____- count the number of deaths and limbs cut off in star wars 1-3. You KNOW the Hollywood execs were warning Lucas how much money he would lose rating episode 3 Pg-13

[@Deltasquad382943]

@@vgrepairs Violence ≠ good storytelling, and the prequels are notorious for their shit storytelling. The violence even gets in the way of everything as well actually. For example, the Jedi aren’t afraid to kill and decapitate their foes, but when Anakin does it it’s portrayed as taboo, which makes no sense and has no impact. There wasn’t any blood in the prequels either btw, PG-13 restricts the amount of blood you’re allowed to show.

[@vgrepairs]

@@Deltasquad382943 Creativity and risk is better than a copy pasted hollywood action script, which most people excuse while watching today's shitty superhero movies.

Harrison Ford said as much at the end of the documentary Empire of Dreams. George Lucas also said when he was interviewed by Carrie Fisher in 2002 that Luke Skywalker is the character he identifies with the most in Star Wars.

[@logicerrormusic]

Let's just say the whole story can be a parable of my last relationship, lasted a lot, felt like the best thing in the world, you got betrayed and things felt apart really fast, you had to quit it with a lot of hesitation and finally you moved on, first worrying if she'll ever do fine, then realising you just don't even care anymore.

I love how No Bullshit George is on every appearance.

[@thekidfromiowa]

Really it's a shame how the salty fanboys treated him after Episode I.

[@Cybersnake-he4zr]

Episode 1 - 6 felt like Star Wars movies 7-9 doesn’t feel like Star Wars that’s the difference

[@turtleanton6539]

7 tried its best but star wars is about NEW stuff not doing the same old things. 8 at least TRIED to do new things but in the worst way possible.

[@Cybersnake-he4zr]

[@KrolKaz]

Episode 7 looked like star wars, but it didn't feel like star wars.

[@AnonYMouse-ky4sg]

40:17 That side-eye says it all! He knew exactly what he was saying. The look Kathleen gave tells me she knew as well!

[@akaicedtea6236]

And the interviewer says "playing out today".

[@Bluecloudprod]

I agree George... Waves hand. "There is NO Episode 7... You are free to go about your business."

[@Jared_Wignall]

George has vision and wants to make films to satisfy his visions for the films he’s going to make. Hollywood just wants to put out stuff that will make money, regardless if the films make sense or are any good. The Disney Star Wars films are corporate fiction and didn’t have an actual vision for their trilogy once they tossed out George Lucas’s treatments.

[@AnonYMouse-ky4sg]

Thank you so much for putting this together, especially the fan reactions to TLJ. I can tell the hard work and love you put into creating it!

[@thekidfromiowa]

Don't know how to market Red Tails? It's got George frickin' Lucas' name on it! It's created by the guy who created Star Wars. That's not enough!?

[@KrolKaz]

I don't know how Red Tails flew under my radar for so long. Just watched the trailer and it looks damn good.

[@guillermoratou]

This is AMAZING, I don't know how this isn't more popular

[@redboy5341]

Thank you

[@mkram2154]

For your information, Chinese theaters and viewers isolated The Last Jedi because there was a Vietnam actress in it. The Chinese propaganda started f...ing the release a month before and they succeeded. Not because they know about quality movie. Put a Chinese in there and it will succeed. However, the American audience does know a quality movie. History tells us that movie only survives if it does well in US regardless of what happen all around the world.

[@delp4287]

Thats true... Also I dislike putting just a lesbian/gay in a movie cause they can... It is stupid

[@DaleonM4]

I think he made his point hollywood is bad and what better to do it that compare the old star wars movies with the ones disney has made.

[@Wilantonjakov]

Hah. Now it's George R. R. Martin vs Hollywood.

Absolutely Awesome!!! Good Job!!!

[@j-555]

One thing I just realized that he doesn't get credit for and has even been the subject of ridicule is his claim that red tails was the first all black movie. I always thought he was exaggerating but after looking into it, he wasn't kidding or referring to the actors only. the director and writers were all black too. I think he was telling the truth after all

[@redboy5341]

GS takes a lot of shit from Star Wars fans but they have no idea how creative he is and how much integrity he has

[@AnonYMouse-ky4sg]

I think a lot of Star Wars fans are confused by George. They love what he created, but I think he makes it abundantly clear that he wants to make the films he wants to make. He doesn’t give a shit what the fans think. In that way, he’s more like Rian Johnson than people will ever admit. The only difference is that George knows Star Wars and what it’s about and it’s what fans have come to love. George can make bad Star Wars movies, but all of the fans will see it and respect it because at least it IS Star Wars. Rian didn’t care about Star Wars, he wanted to do his own thing. He needs to be doing his own projects, not someone else’s. In the same way, I would imagine George would completely F up a series like Game of Thrones if he were given the reigns, because again, he wants to do his own thing.

[@user-xx6vy9ri8p]

And George actually listens to the fans (he removed Jar Jar after ep1), and doesn't insult them on Twitter. He even made Clone Wars series for fans and they love it.

Want to correct you Redboy with your time stamps: 19:40 is when the George vs “Award Shows” part is.

[@theoriginalzach4340]

George...you made the same mistake Plagueis did...ironic...

red tails did lose money.. it actually flopped at the box office.. and that means the studios were right.. it didnt make any money... on wiki it says it was a budget of 58 million and it made 50.4 million.. sounds like a flop to me

[@thekidfromiowa]

George was just happy to get it made. The loss it took is pocket change to George.

[@turtleanton6539]

There is still dvd blurays streams etc on top of that. But I guess there is not many red tails toys

[@Praxiszooms]

Nice that e wins in the end

[@AnonYMouse-ky4sg]

Oh my god, they need to make a movie about the things he has to go through in the industry. It would be epic!

[@juanita-dark]

Anon YMouse They would never. It would end up being a critique of the movie industry as is - particularly today - and Hollywood would never.

[@Jared_Wignall]

juanita dark it could be made as an indie film, but it would likely have a hard time being distributed.

Next time I feel like america is too racially divided I'm gonna rewatch the segment of everyone's reaction to the last jedi.

[@misterjohn2]

Have you ever heard the tragedy of Lucas the artist? It’s not a story Disney would tell you.

[@handyhistorian]

He doesn't seem happy. I think he failed to realize the responsibility he had to the cultural good he had created before it was too late. In a time when heroes, role models and the distinction between good and evil are more important than ever, Disney subverted and destroyed what could have been a powerful and hopeful continuation of a great story. Though flawed, the prequels are still in the spirit of the original trilogy, Rogue One also fit this mold. The latest trilogy should come with the disclaimer "vaguely influenced by the Star Wars universe."

[@vexaris1890]

Imagine a world in which Lucas never sold LucasFilms &c. and instead built something similar to the Tolkien Estate.

[@bangerxshane]

He’s old, he wants to ‘live’ his life. I respect that.

47:39 "It's a space drama, about fathers and sons and grandfathers" What does he mean grandfathers? Anakin Skywalker is the only grandfather in the franchise I can think of.

[@juanita-dark]

*Matthew Noneya* It likely means according to George's treatment Leia *and* Luke would have had children. George asked JJ about the Skywalker grandchildren in an interview prior to TFA. The conflict in his treatments probably was in some way generational.
