the star wars documentary that shouldn't exist - final V3

[@Novacanoo]

When I was a little kid, I saw in the local newspaper that there was a weekly send-in-a-joke competition for kids, and the winner in that particular paper had won season 1 of Sonic X on DVD. I fucking loved Sonic X so I sent in a joke, and my joke was picked! I won! They sent me The Little Mermaid 2.

I think this is how the unabomber was made

[@stardust-buckethead8594]

I genuinely love the musical bits at the beginning and end of each episode. Like I cannot sugarcoat it, they actually bring a lot of character and identity to each episode and nobody else I have listened to does something like it. It just always brings a smile to my face. It is small but funni and I appreciate.

This documentary is my childhood. It made me obsessed enough with the behind the scenes of filmmaking to enter the industry as an adult. Here's some clarification for some of the things that weren't as clear for people not in the industry: Chris Newman, the man who said "Convince them it's just a break from their vacation," was the first assistant director. Despite what the name suggests, he's actually more in line with a producer and went on to become one. His first and only priority on any day is to "make the day," and keep everything on time, so the kind of language he uses is completely in character to that role. Time is money, so avoiding any setbacks is his prerogative. I think it's telling that he did not return for either of the other prequels. As for the 10-12 hour work days he offhandedly mentioned, that's actually industry standard. The crew is expected to work 12 hours starting from their call time, whereas cast are limited to 10 before overtime, and child actors have limits varying on their age. Overtime rates, grace, pre-calls, and all sorts of other things can affect the day length, but 12 hours has been the standard since well before Stars War, hellish conditions included. The difference between the film industry and others, like game development and animation, is while we all love the art we work to create, the workforce of the film industry is protected by several very powerful unions that have pages upon pages of regulations that projects, even at Lucas's level, are forced to work with in mind. Furthermore, these unions all stand together, so if one were to strike for any particular reason, most others would follow suit in solidarity. If this were to happen mid-production, it would waste a lot of time, and in film, time is hundreds of millions of dollars a day. This is why last year's SAG strike was so devastating to the industry, crippling numerous productions to this day, well after it passed. I happened to be working on Twisters while it was filming last summer, and the strike put that project on pause in August, weeks away from wrapping, until late November. The second leg was very compromised as a result, it's lucky that the movie came out at all. As for editing, it's done in multiple phases throughout production and post, and generally on standard resolution computer screens. It's simply the most practical way. Industry standard software is AVID and Davinci Resolve, both of which can of course project the image onto another screen if needed. As for Lucas and his self-destructive tendencies, directors like him are common and the choices are twofold, take the gig or don't. Reputations are everything and they spread like wildfire, especially at above-the-line positions. If people have shitty experiences working for you, in this industry, they are NOT forced to continue. The converse is the same, more and more people are getting phased out of the indie circles as standard for what's accepted change and certain behavior isn't tolerated. This is sliding upward into major productions as more indie creators find platforms with the larger studios. I think it is important to note that for all his faults, Lucas did spearhead a push to using digital cameras, editing, and VFX through the prequels and other projects around that time. All of which were huge innovations for the industry that more than likely came at the cost of the prequels themselves. There are way worse directors than Lucas, but the prequels wouldn't have been what they are without him.

Shout outs to the emperor's new groove behind the scenes documentary, the sweat box, that Disney doesn't want to rerelease. Also to the frozen 2 documentary which somehow got released and has plenty of gun to head moments. Like that one part where a guy after the film fails a test audience of kids and is very obviously thinking about the crunch they will endure goes "w-we never missed a deadline before"

If I had a nickel for every time Sam and Noodle ranted about the shared trauma they have from a behind the scenes documentary, I'd have 2 nickels, which is honestly lower than I expected.

Star Wars is an American epic space opera media franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the eponymous 1977 film[a] and quickly became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon. The franchise has been expanded into various films and other media, including television series, video games, novels, comic books, theme park attractions, and themed areas, comprising an all-encompassing fictional universe.[b] Star Wars is one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. The original 1977 film, retroactively subtitled Episode IV: A New Hope, was followed by the sequels Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983), forming the original Star Wars trilogy. Lucas later returned to the series to write and direct a prequel trilogy, consisting of Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999), Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002), and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005). In 2012, Lucas sold his production company to Disney, relinquishing his ownership of the franchise. This led to a sequel trilogy, consisting of Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015), Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017), and Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker (2019). All nine films, collectively referred to as the "Skywalker Saga", were nominated for Academy Awards, with wins going to the first two releases. Together with the theatrical live action "anthology" films Rogue One (2016) and Solo (2018), the combined box office revenue of the films equate to over US$10 billion, making Star Wars the third-highest-grossing film franchise of all time.
