@@BeardLAD You’re seeing things that aren’t there my friend. Almost everybody doesn’t realize that it wasn’t just all the extra scenes and cgi added in the special editions, but also all the effects that have aged so well actually weren’t like that originally. Everything got massively enhanced and upscaled to look much better, but nobody ever talks about those changes because they assumed it was always like that since you were less cynical as a kid and didn’t notice all the flaws. Lucas actually did release the original editions on DVD once but with all the weird outdated effects. The truth is every single version of the Star Wars movies that have ever existed are available to watch. So what you actually want is a version that doesn’t exist, a version that has none of the changes Lucas made except for the ones you didn’t even know were changes. Lucas is the arbiter of Star Wars. It’s his life, his passion, his story. He has the right to change his movies however he wants. And before you pretend this is about preserving film history or whatever, this is something big directors do all the time with DVD releases. People just notice it with Star Wars because they’re fanatic about it. Also, Lucas made just as many changes with the prequels but you probably don’t even know or care since you don’t like those movies of course. So this isn’t about Lucas making the original versions unavailable, nor is it about preserving film history. So what is this really about? I think this is about you wanting to recapture a certain nostalgic feeling you got when you saw the movies as a kid, but you never once considered that this was also about George Lucas and the vision that he wants to tell. So when the films aren’t exactly identical to the ones from your childhood, you think something is wrong and even try to make believe that he tainted the originals somehow. But in reality, all the wonder and imagination from the originals are still there in the prequels in spades and the originals were merely improved to age better with time. You’re just not as open minded as when you were a kid. Nothing could’ve ever met your impossibly high expectations of rekindling the magic of your childhood. And of course millions of people have shared this same lapse in logic about Lucas as you, and a disgusting cottage industry has arose on the internet in the last 20 years dedicated to demonizing George Lucas simply for making movies you didn’t like, which led to him ultimately selling the movies to Disney and more or less retiring from filmmaking. And look what we got: creatively bankrupt, hodgepodge, cookie cutter at best, soulless, counterfeits of films, mass produced by a committee that studies analytics to decide what’s the most ‘accessible for general audiences’ so that they can make enough money. So much better right? So much better than the prequels which were oozing with creativity and beautifully impeccable landscapes of planets they go to in each movie, with all the same rich, timeless themes about fathers and sons, the struggle between the temptation and balance of the soul, the duloagy of life, and there always being another side to the story (the prequels of course being the ultimate other side to the story), that were present in the originals. Lucas never changed, you did. (Forgive me if I made any assumptions about your opinions on Star Wars but this comment wasn’t necessarily aimed at you specifically but at the entire culture of people who disrespect George Lucas in spite of him making some of the best movies of all time).

I've just pointed out the truth. Have you seen his kids? Letting one of your daughters get well over 200 lbs is bad parenting 101, specially when you've got unlimited money and you've supposedly retired to take care of your children. Regarding Amanda, her career choice was... pro fighting, getting arms like those of a truck driver in the process. Say what you want about "chasing your dreams", but that reeks of daddy issues. And yes, adoption as a single parent is a selfish decision, one incidentally taken by many billionaires who think no one's good enough to raise children alongside them. So yeah, "I want to be remembered as a great dad" is a great answer in an interview, but he being one in the real world? Not very likely, really.

He super nonchalant, which proves that he’s always been super secure and. Sure of himself while also staying humble. What a great guy

I actually agree with George Lucas here. When he talks about award shows being about being shows and less about the actual artists that win the awards. I think this is why a lot of artists stopped going entirely. These shows just put these events together not to actually celebrate art, but to get views and pump out the most expensive long commercials every 5 minutes. I felt the host was quite rude a number of times telling George Lucas how he should perceive shows and himself, based on wealth and awards. A lot less conversions about his artistic and story telling side, which I'm far more interested in then conversions about gloat. It seems George doesn't really like talking about that either. He's a real artist.

And then creates a safe space to respond. Charlie Rose is (was) a brilliant interviewer, perhaps the best.

He didn't even show up for the Nobel Prize. I think when you're at the stratospheric level of Lucas or Dylan, and you see how your work permeates the cultural world, awards _would_ seem silly. Awards are important when they help small and middle level artists immensely, giving them exposure and an audience. If you not only have the biggest audience already, but you've literally changed the culture - nothing is greater than that. No form of recognition. You don't want to offend the awards people paying court to you, especially because you don't actually think you're above them, and thay means you can't be honest and say their praise is an inferior form of recognition and mostly uncomfortable and tedious. It's a hard one to feel sympathy for because it's a bit unimaginable, but I can at least understand it.

Likewise, Luke Skywalker, walked across da sky, much like our sun walkz across da sky, n 12 stepz. He aso fought against an evil relative, ( Bcause everythangz relative. ) his evil Sith Lord father, Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker. Sith iz archaic, basically meaning, xisting b4/cummin from dat which xisted b4, meaning da lite came out of darkness. Datz n ur Bible. God had 2 say - LET THERE B LITE. Likewise, humanz haveta strive 2 make lite. All else we do, resultz n darkness & sumtimez our good deedz r twisted n2 evil or our good ntentionz, end-up resulting n evil outcumz. All topicz, STAR WARZ, dealt wit. George Lucas used his nterest n Mythology, Religion, & mixed Sci-Fi & Cowboy moviez 2gether, n order 2 create STAR WARZ. Lastly, Luke Skywalkerz character arc, followz da arc of da sun of God. 1 thru 3 - da lite cumz out of darkness. Midnite til 6am/January til April. 4 -A NEW HOPE! & Luke wuz burning hot & ready 2 go & fight evil. 6am til 12 noon/May til June. 5 - Da Empire/his dad, Darth Vader, teach Luke & friendz, sum lessonz. There iz loss of life & limb ( Han Solo - kinda sorta died & Luke kinda sorta, lost his hand. ) 12 noon til 3pm/June & July. 6 - Now itz da son of a Sithz turn 2 teach his dad, redemption, BUTT Luke had 2 grow n wisdom, nstead of wisdumb. His need 2 fight & win, wuz not azz mportant 2 him, azz redeeming his father, da Sith Lord. 3pm til 6pm/July & August. 7 - da sun, wuz bginning 2 hide, BUTT peephole, didn't catch da clue. 6pm til 7pm/September & October. 8 - Da sunz heat, has waned. He iz cold & distant & no longer, his 4mer, hot & firey self! ( How dare he!!! [ DUH Director, write such a lame-azz, Luke Skywalker?!? ] Dis iz how. ) 8pm til 9pm/November. 9 - Da sun iz dead, BUTT we look 4ward 2 a New Year/New bginningz. 9pm til 12midnite/December.

I mean if you read the book of ENOC or search videos of it You get all of it, Lucifer is son of God but he rebell when knew humans another Creation of God, inferior to his eyes but as important for God that gives part of His spirit, then all the rebellion to be "Free" and drown humans to the Sin (Dark Side), Then the only Begoten Son of God is to Save all the Creation both FAllen Angels and Humans, Is a Shame Anime and Manga and nor other media like Lucas said, want to do a Heaven Archangels vs Fallen Angels Celestial War, will be impresive even Dragon ball look like kinder fight.

It's obvious from what Lucas chooses to discuss that he has far more interest in ideas, art, elements of the human condition, than he does in himself. He strikes me as a man full of creativity, wonder, and curiosity. His films reflect that. Sadly there seem to be far fewer of the qualities present in the people who have come to claim ownership over the Star Wars name, and perhaps their art reflects that, too.

Charlie Rose is obnoxious. Disney gave Lucas 4 billion reasons to walk away from Star wars. Now, he can make whatever movies he wants , no commercial or critical pressures altering his masterpieces. Pander free. Just movie. That's probably why Lucas decided to sell the Star wars franchise. That, and making a big picture like Star wars costs big money. Big money= big pressure.

Not even. He's just a man who want to make movies for himself (and his friends) like a challenge of sort. It's not about sharing it (unfortunatly) but I umderstand and respect that. He does what he does for the love of filmaking and that alone. Very inspiring. I wish, one day, we'll be allowed to see these films...

After seeing what Disney did the sequels, I can 100% understand where Lucas is coming from. Star Wars thrived because Lucas went against all the Hollywood culture. He didn't care about the money, the corporations, the pointless red tape, the bureaucracy. Lucas just wanted to make a good movie born form nothing but pure imagination that would touch the hearts of audiences everywhere and he succeeded. But everything Disney did was the exact opposite of Lucas. They are a soulless cooperation who were bureaucratic to the core. They didn't care about the story, the character, the legacy, the plan, they just cared about the money and their movies are everything Lucas's Star Wars were not. Even those who criticize the prequels can at least admit they had more heart that all the sequels combined. Man, I feel so bad for George. Star Wars was his baby and the ruined it just to make a quick buck. If I hated the Sequels as much as I did, I can only image how Lucas feels about it.

And Disney was a mammoth, it bought other companies, they had a lot of money and influence. Also, Disney had a Star Wars theme park. And Bob Iger was the CEO. The guy who helped Lucas with the Young Indiana Jones series in the '90s. He trusted him as he trusted Kathleen Kennedy who he knew since the '80s. Lucas was always true to himself and honest.

It took me a long time but I think I finally understand. It's not about the awards. Sometimes you just have an idea and you have to make it. It compels you. That's what it's about. That's why George didn't want to focus on making "popular" movies. He did care about his friends going "wow", though. His films were art, unlike any we've seen in a long while and art is meant to invoke feelings and reactions and so many more indescribable things. That's why it mattered when his friends reacted to them. They understood the movies because they were fellow artists and when they said "wow", it wasn't cold and professional, it's because they appreciated his art. I'm lost for words and my respect for George is immeasurable.

George Lucas and Hideo KOJIMA - the two people outside of my family who raised me through their work. Thank you for all the joy you’ve brought me and still bring me, every time I watch Star Wars, and all the good ideas you seeded, about selfishness and selflessness, about fear, about how governments get corrupted and how people even after a lifetime of genocide can still redeem themselves, if they act genuinely selfless.

I don't know about anyone else but I have nothing but respect for George and I would have much rather have seen his version of episode 7. (And yes, I like the prequels)

I like the prequels too. Star Wars was always that film where you see something new. New and good. Not pretending to be new but horrible at it like TLJ. TFA was a good set up, but TLJ killed it. Thus, making the new movies not Star Wars and it just sucks ass.

I don't think it makes sense to say that technology is art on all levels. Sometimes it is created to resolve an artistic problem and and most of the times it is created to resolve a non-artistic problem. Either way, a problem exists and then the technology to resolve the issue is then developed.

I'm not going to lie, I teared up a bit when he talked about himself being a Dad first and foremost.

As an artist, I resonate alot with what George says in the interview. In the end, the man just wants to create things. He brings his vision to life, be it failure or success, and then move on. No amount of money is better than the joy of creation.

I love George. Especially when he called disney out for what they are lmao. When asked about his achievements he just says "I was a good dad" like bro that melts my heart

As a 90s kid born in '88, I grew up with VHS tape Star Wars and constant TV premiers of Episode 4,5,6. My mother bought me so much Star Wars toys that I used to sit in my room and make up mock battles on my bedroom carpet with them. I can still remember those days today in my old houses. Nearly every stick I found in my backyard with my friends we made mock lightsaber battles. This guy made many kids across the globe happy and allowed us kids to use our imagination for all these cool battles in person. When Episode 1,2,3 were released I was still hooked on the franchise as much as my childhood. I still absolutely love Star Wars. Unfortunately as I've grown older I've seen the flaws in the prequels such as the bad dialogue and all, but that hasn't shifted my perspective for the franchise. I still love all the movies to this day. The only ones I don't like are those awful sequels.

I am from 98 too, got into Star Wars later but did Lego mock fights like you, thanks for reminding me of simpler times.

What I really dislike about Disney is that they took classic European Fairytale stories from the public domain themselves and now they sue everyone into the ground for even mentioning Micky Mouse. Nintendo does the same thing. It's really hypocritical and kinda pisses me off, because art always inspires new art and no idea is truly 100% new.

+Bob Bobby The main reason we hate George Lucas is most of his accolades are unwarranted,namely he's the biggest bullshit artist,when crazy George is let loose with no criticism and input from others,not only did we get the mess that is the prequels but way before that it was the confusing mess THX1138 but when he is given limitations and take criticism and input from others we do get great film like American Graffiti. New Hope was successful not because Lucas was some"genius"it because he surrounded himself with talented people namely his three editors that took the mess of his 1st cut and did what they could to fix it,had the original cut went out in '77 the film would have failed. The Star War sequels are so praised(mostly just Empire)is because Lucas didn't direct them,but crazy George did have to screw with Jedi by changing Wookiees from the original script to stupid Ewoks to sell more toys.I knew the prequels were going to be bad(I just didn't know how bad)because I'm probability the only person that remember that crazy George had given us the garbage that was Howard the Duck.I only saw Episode 1 for free since someone bought me a ticket and after it left a bad taste in my mouth I refused to watch Episode 2 and Episode 3 in the cinema after that. The original Star Wars Trilogy is a pop culture phenomenon(before crazy George tampered with it)and still is but to have people say the films are flawless are only kidding themselves(seriously did no one notice the battery cable going up Alec Guinness's(Obi Wan)arm to his Light Saber during the Darth Vader fight in New Hope it in all versions even the Special Editions,even crazy George missed it and once you see it you can't un-see it,I bet everybody missed it.)

Star Wars - A New Hope was ...an ok scifi flick that hasn't aged very well. THEN... we have Empire and Jedi that were amazing, and that have aged almost flawlessly. Lucas didn't direct them. Then came the prequels, which he did direct, and we're back to mediocre again. Just goes to show...

You need to look at and understand his early work. He is creative and experimental, clearly intelligent and understands that there is a level of popcorn, bullshit, manipulation and control in the industry he wants to work in (film and storytelling) so what he essentially did was play them to the point where he was wealthy and successful enough to then say - f**k it - I'll do what I want now. And don't forget - government and corporations run the media ultimately and don't like free thinkers at all (read John Lennon's back story and the efforts set against him by those running America towards destroying his character and deportation). It's no surprise at all that Lucas has had negative press. So has Mel Gibson (who tried to take them on). And Shia LaBeouf.
