[@randeroni]

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Anakin Skywalker was a great Jedi Knight, so powerful and so wise he became a hero of the Republic. He had such good fortune, he had gained everything he could have ever wanted in his life. But the dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... corruptive. He became so happy, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his happiness, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, a Dark Lord of the Sith manipulated him and caused him to betray everyone and everything he knew. Ironic. He could save himself from death, but not the ones he cared about.

He does this because he is redeemed by his son, and when he does this he goes from being Darth Vader back to being Anakin" - George Lucas (from the special features of revenge of the Sith)

Anakin's turn back to the light side is what secured victory in the long-run. Even if Palpatine survived the events of RotJ, Anakin still ended Sith rule of the Galaxy and left Palpatine in a crippled, powerless form. The sequels were more about preventing Palpatine from being resurrected.

That reason alone when he says “all the fans might not have liked it but this is the story I wanted to tell.” Really shows why the prequels and TPM in particular are such great films because regular movie normally don’t have such a drive or passion behind the scenes that George had while making them.

Prequels and originals are both great in my eyes 🔥🔥🔥

[@user-nx6yw7ry5f]

i think the prequels are better than the originals

[@veritty6828]

The original trilogy and the prequel are all 1 fantastic storyline that shows you all the beauty you need to see about Star Wars. The sequel trilogy however will remain undiscussed

[@robstrickenfeary]

Came here to find the interview so i can listen to it myself. Thankyou for including the link in the description :)

[@digmission]

George: the saga starts with Anikan as a kid and ends with his death Disney: well actually no

[@KnightedKingdom]

George Lucas Is honestly amazing. So is Hayden.

[@toneymitchell1032]

I love this interview 🙌 ❤ seen it a few years ago, love hearing the creative process. Thanks for reposting.

[@AJZulu]

you heard it here. George said the saga ends with Anakin.

[@thesharpercoder]

George Lucas’ statements have evolved over the years, and are actually spoken from “a certain point of view,” you might say. Lucas says that the original film was “in the middle”, which is actually classic storytelling. You create a backstory and a post-story for your main story. I was in grad school when the original film was released. With the release of Ep.5, and the renaming of the original film to Ep.4., Lucas explained that he was telling the middle story. Lucas said that an Ep.6 was planned. He also said that original trilogy was the actually the entire “middle” story that he had originally wanted to tell. The original story that he wanted to tell was just too long for a single two hour film. At that time, he said that these three films were to be the central trilogy in a 9-part story, a triple trilogy. Lucas said he was inspired by “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, and the double trilogy emerging out of the “Dune” saga. After release of Ep.6, fans were hungry for the story to continue. Lucas took a break from Star Wars to devote more time toward his family, and his young children. Lucas never got around to making more films, and Star Wars novels filled the void. The novels could tell most any story they wanted, but the time frame before the original trilogy was totally off limits. The time frame following the original trilogy could pick up the story several years after Ep.6. These limits were imposed on authors because those time frames would overlap the prequel and sequel stories Lucas had invented to tell his main story, the original trilogy. Remember, this interview was mostly a promotion for Ep.3. So, when Lucas says in the interview that the story of Anakin is “over”, he is speaking from “a certain point of view”. At that time, just like following the release of Ep.6, Lucas is stating that he had no intention of making anymore Star Wars films. Many fans have taken this statement to mean the saga ended with Ep.6. The conclusion should not be drawn that a framework for a sequel story had never been created, [Lucas] even says as much early in the interview. When Lucas announced a prequel trilogy was in the works, he did an extended, hour long interview for the A&E network in the mid-1990s. Lucas describes everything that I have written here regarding a sequel trilogy. Of course the question of a sequel trilogy came up in the A&E interview. Again, Lucas stated that he had no intention of making a sequel trilogy, even though a framework for a sequel story had existed all along. When Disney purchased LucasFilm, there seems to have been a handshake understanding that Disney would make a sequel that followed the outline Lucas had envisioned. Apparently, the sequel story Lucas had envisioned was rejected [as being to abstract], and Disney went in their own direction with a new sequel story.

... and failed.

[@elliecattle4760]

watching this again makes me really want Hayden back for the obi wan series, I think about him coming back on the daily, he’s said so many times that if he ever got the call he’d come back in a heartbeat, what do we all have to do to bring him back

[@wannabehistorian371]

Well rejoice!

[@keepingbusywithsarah2764]

I didnt know how much I needed this until today. That part about Yoda blew my mind 🙏🏽

[@hydrakn]

Just watched this like 2 weeks ago, never seen it before. Great interview, would love to see a zoom call with the cast like LotR just did.

[@Carsonrockett]

you’re like anthony fantano, but star wars

[@dimebagforever251]

Except Fantano doesn't know what the hell he's talking about most of the time and makes videos for views.

[@2k05.adrian]

I love watching these two talk

[@nikolaia_kiev_guy8735]

Theory, thank you so much for all of your hard work and such entertaining stuff! Always uplifting to watch your videos. Helps me a lot to keep it together during the pandemic.

[@basak9746]

Hayden knew about and even interested about the clone wars series at this time. I wonder if he know about his padawan Ahsoka and what’s his thoughts about her. Funny fact, he’s actually good friends with Rosario Dawson lol.

[@reddeaddude2187]

Two absolute legends! Miss them both

[@hellbentspartan1086]

I wish I lived in the universe where George Lucas still owned Star Wars.

[@Lorcana_BigBrainPlays]

Thx for sharing loves these 2 and you’re channel.

[@reiddajuiceman]

I live about a half hour away from Minneapolis, it's really nice to know that our Canadian neighbors are with us! And of course, an amazing video as always, thanks Theory

[@LanDiEvil]

Yoda: God, What is the meaning of life? George Lucas: You exist so I could kill of an Alec Guinness.

[@jasperkoota265]

Theory reminding us that he covered Starkiller made me remember when my social studies teacher would remind my class of a lesson he taught us before a quiz

[@VRGNVYU]

Ouch...

[@thefriendlygamer2221]

Glad to know I'm not the only one who sits and watches old interviews of my favorite filmmakers

[@lucadappo9675]

such a cool Interview!!! I remember watching it a few years ago. So much nostalgia!!

[@altrainer]

I respect Hayden for his interest in the story and understanding of the atmosphere. Surprised me for sure

[@danraphael2146]

Star Wars theory: posts a new vid Everyone: rushes to comments

[@YouPube_X]

I’ve never seen this interview, its great!

[@jayta906]

2:32 LMAO “Covered it” *takes Kermit the frog sip of tea*

[@noahveatch4500]

George is really smart. People weren't understanding his character so he made 3 new movies to help them. I think TCW does a really good job showing how he's a tragic character

[@catandogclone7880]

First came the return of Toby as Spider-Man, now Christen as Anakin, who’s next?

[@hanspeter2869]

Where does tobey return?

[@catandogclone7880]

Hans Peter it’s either theorised or confirmed that he’ll be Spider-Man in dr strange 2

[@LanDiEvil]

@@catandogclone7880 Lol. Next they'll reinstate George Clooney as Batman.

[@catandogclone7880]

Lan G Adam wests ghost will play a force ghost Batman

[@LilacSreya]

Michael Keaton as Batman is confirmed! 😅

[@SweatDrenchedProductions]

I love to see the two of them chin-wagging. George, talking about filmmaking itself so hypnotic. I love Hayden, too, I always have, and I am so glad that finally people have come to start appreciating his performance as Anakin. (Anyone else love his role in Jumper?). These two obviously have a great fondness for each other. I wish George would come back for one final film, at least, working alongside all the prequel cast in some capacity.

[@dukemcgregor]

Really great interview and video! Confused me though that you decided to get Bashar Al-Assad on as a guest speaker to comment on this, but good on you anyhow!

[@richardlew3667]

What if the Clone Wars was animated by Bioware?

[@omniusmaximusgluteuslxix4857]

Even better: What if there were a KOTOR 3 or a SW series spiritually inspired from it...

[@husmenusta]

Bioware doesn't animate shit. Trailers you saw animated by blur

[@darkangel4185]

Why did George Lucas sell to Disney?? Oh, well. I still love you, George.

[@allenfox7186]

Wow that takes me back. I grew up on both the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy.

[@D0wnAndD1rty]

Such a good intro by you man. Keep up the good work.

[@frankie1761]

When you watch this you forget that he was the man that killed all the younglings

[@SpeedosAndTheGun]

Starting to feel like lucus cast Hayden just cos he likes him and thinks he’s cool lol

[@jonathancharles7991]

I love your content and I respect your mindset on star wars. Keep the top tier content up!

[@joshguitarOs]

Not even a huge fan of Star Wars just been idk getting into it lately but you speaking on what’s going on in the states means a lot. No one on KZbin is. Thank you. I subscribed because of this seriously lol

[@seandaley6835]

When did this interview take place?

[@JAZZGAMINGHD]

2004-2005

[@derlasercrafterwally4342]

Oh boy, disney ruined so much...

[@justineharper3346]

Man, I was so in love with Hayden back in the day. He was plastered all over my room and locker. I'm still so angry that they didn't include him in the sequels

[@kent87436]

Hey man, I really miss your fan fictions do you mind doing more of it often. I’ve got some ideas such as what if after mace windu was killed, palpatine taught anakin how to use sith force lightning? I think that’ll surely impact his duel with obi wan more in the end. Another idea is during the clone wars when anakin was briefly captured by dooku and the gungans had captured grievous, what if padme or the republic/ Jedi council refused to trade grievous for anakin? I think it’ll encourage dooku to train anakin in the sith ways or bring him to sidious or something like that I think it’ll be cool. I love your videos man keep it up ❤️

[@mateuszkorniak5179]

15:06 Disney trilogy is officially non-canon! Rejoice!

[@NoCluYT]

Imagine if they made a “Vader” video game. You play as Anakin/Vader through the original 6 films.

[@AntiWanted]

Damn

[@Dcthetruth85]

That would be nice.

[@roguetank3526]

Most intreresting times would be between episode 1and episode 2 and episode 3 and 4

[@aliriogarciaflamenco3048]

OMG!! George said "The Misterious Stranger" That threw me back to Knights of the Old Republic when Revan is participating in the Taris battle Arena. So cool!!

[@skywalrobertoro5196]

Wow this is gold i never knew about this interview great SWT to bring this !
