And he is wrong, he actually ruined Star Wars. All George had to do was to tell his story, not what others tell you what to do. He was a huge BETA! He gave in. Just like when a business goes bad, you blame upwards not downward. You do not blame your employees you as the top guy are the one who is to be blamed for failure, just as if Star Wars was successful I’m sure he would of not have no problem taking the credit for success. He let the fans push him, he is a bad business man. It’s all George Lucas fault.
@@thereisnopandemic (ignoring the pre historic dumb notion of alfas and betas) he was actually a mix of assertive and passive, with people he could control he was really bad, like no one could say no to him, literally, he made the official games a hell to work on, but with the fans, that he can't control, he caved in a little, like the darth jar jar thing
Whisperedflame apples and oranges even though they are both fantasy, idk man the rhyming of two trilogies, the foil between anakin and Luke. Star Wars is very basic on the surface and he clearly was inspired by a lot of things. But the more you look the more you see with Star Wars, from background details to even higher notes for the overall themes involved, I’m not a huge fan of Tolkien and my knowledge in that area isn’t vast but I’d say that’s a tough title to give out, greatest storyteller
I’d say he could greatly world build and take influence from history in an interesting way. But yeah he needs o write better. “I don’t like sand. It’s rough and coarse and it gets everywhere”
Eternal Branches I love that line as a meme lol but it was completely out of place, and it was tough deciding if I’m supposed to take it as a joke or that he’s revealing his dark secret of his hate of sand to padme lol
Michael Price Here is a quote from The Lord of the Rings, a quote that is both in the book and film. It greatly summarizes Tolkien’s philosophy on the purpose of worthiness of storytelling, a philosophy that Lucas seems to share: “It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going, because they were holding on to something. That there is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for.”
The prequel movies had good story lines that flowed from one movie to the next and had good character development. The only issues were in execution, aiming the Phantom Menace at kids and the choice of actor for the older Anakin (he's ok but I feel they could have done better.....sorry Hayden).....other than that, I loved them and still enjoy watching
@@stennlake I love all 3, even if they had flaws. Ian McDiarmid's Palpatine is something else. Ewan McGregor was also outstanding as Obi-Wan. And the prequels helped a fuck ton in world building and expanding the universe. No one can deny their value as movies to the franchise.
This is what should've been done: >Get George' outline. >Give it to a talented writer who understands Star Wars and respects George. >Have JJ Abrams direct but ONLY direct it. Put him under George's supervision if necessary.
Rumour has it they tried to do that for 'Rise of Skywalker'. JJ worked with George but then KK and Iger cut out everything they did together and went with what was called the 'Iger cut' to please 'most' fans!
@@darthmalus2198 sadly we might have all helped them when we were seduced into paying money to watch that nostalgic fan service rehash called 'TFA'. We fed that corporate monster (Disney) that metaphorically 'sucked the life' out of the franchise for money - much like Palpatine did with Rey and Kylo😔
To add to that, and just as important as your points, it was to not have them bend over for any feminatzi,woke,SJW,"diversity" & what not political agenda BS. Even the legendary actors like Mark Hamill had no choice but to be a shadow of their former selves because they had to bend the knee to that and they might've done the same do George. Tbh, the direction the west has been heading as a society in the past couple of years and continues to head is what I often find to be the main issue nowadays, for films & a lot of other things.
@MrLeermeister I agree the early 90s was the best time, plus don't forget the books. The Thrawn Trilogy, Shadows of the Empire, The Truce at Bakura, and the Jedi Prince series. I could go on, but you know... :)
Unfortunately Lucas is quite old already, in his mind a new trilogy means 10 or more years of work, and we can no longer enjoy the 3 classic actors together. Maybe, if we are lucky, in some years Filoni will be able to make a show or something with the main ideas that Lucas wanted to develop. WIth different characters of course (unless Disney decides to reboot post-RotJ which I don t think it can happen).
I’m from that parallel universe. They were fantastic! Unfortunately I only brought back jordorsky’s Dune. That was the real masterpiece. If I release that dune film they will catch me. I can’t go back, can’t risk it. Being a thief that operates in parallel worlds is tough...but fun!
The movies ended at episode six and began at episode four. The second sequel was made only because George wanted to cash in on the lucrative toy deal that he lost out on in the Kenner deal. The first trilogy was special. The rest of the movies are derivative.
George needed guys around him, who said it out, when he was up with something stupid. Thats why Ep IV and V are the best films in the Saga. As soon he was surrounded by yes-men, things like Ewoks, JarJar and a whiny Anakin came up. Its a shame, that no one had the guts to tell him straight away that its dumb to include these things. George isnt the guy who ignores critisism, with a competent team he can create some of the best movies ever !
@@RheemQ do want to know what his original vision for star wars was? (He didn't even direct ESB and ROTJ) Star Wars wasn't great because of just Lucas. It was great because it was a collaboration between a lot of of different people that made it work. (The actors, producers, editors ect...) Yes he is the guy who started it all. No one should take that away from him. But he's not the sole reason for star wars.
“Only now, in the end, do you understand.”-Emperor Palpatine. As much as people shit on Lucas, at least he put passion and love into his story. He had a plan and he did his best to execute it. And he did it perfectly in my eyes. The story came from George. You have the asshole fans to thank for Lucas selling the Brand.
El-ahrairah if popularity is ur tool to judge a thing, then i dont need to prove ur stupidity, or maybe ur just afraid that all convictions could be questionning with that video
He sold it mainly due to wanting to focus on making short films for himself and his friends, and with the understanding that it would take probably 10 years to do it right and he isn't sure he will make it that long. Though I'm sure the shitty fans didn't help it is important to note that George is/was friends with the head of Disney and decided it would be for the best after they had a conversation about retirement.
Say what you want about the prequels but I loved them, and in some ways I loved them even more than the original trilogy (and I grew up with the OT). Maybe I was just at the right age or something but I never had any issues with young Anakin, I mean he's a kid, what were people expecting from him. Also I don't see how he's the main character of that movie, I'm more of the opinion that Obi-Wan Kenobi is the main character of episode 1. Anyways the prequel trilogy did a ton of world-building, and actually spent some time letting us get to know that world, even as a kid I found the whole politics aspect of the whole thing to be quite interesting and a completely different story. That's why I would have wanted Lucas's sequels, maybe not all of his ideas are great but dammit he can still tell a good story. The whole overarching story of the prequels is great, the ideas, the world, the themes, and the spectacle that actually has substance. The whole idea of the microbiotic world etc does sound somewhat silly but I'm damn sure it would still have been entertaining as all hell.
I totally agree. Anakin was not the only main character of Ep I. The story was followed by Qui Gon and Kenobi. IN my opinion, it is an underrated film that should be looked back and seen differently. Of course, we could of seen less of Jar Jar and the whole medichlorine thing was the scientific explanation of the force. A video created by Film THeory actually theorized that medichlorines is not the force itself but more like blood vessels that increased one's connection of the force depending on the number of medichlorines they had. George Lucas in an interview stated this. Though, this could have been explained or explored better in AOTC or ROTS or even in the first prequel film. I would rate it a 7/10 and I still love it.
@@Darth_Anomalous "A video created by Film THeory actually theorized that medichlorines is not the force itself but more like blood vessels..." So he theorized about a given fact? Lmao midichlorians never were the Force itself, I don't get how so many people get this wrong. Qui-Gon's explanation was pretty straightforward.
Finally some people that got the point. Of course Obi was the main character in TPM, in that movie he was the young hero lacking experience... and even being reckless and a bit disrespectful (contrasting with Qui-Gon, a maverick for the Jedi Council but always in control and balanced). And the microbiotic world idea is not silly at all. Clone Wars last episodes (the ones with Yoda) showed us additional context and wow that was beautiful. You know what a silly idea was? Let s bring Palpatine back and give no explanation for it, who cares about consistency in a fantasy work. Sic...
The problem is that the fans who hated George Lucas and pushed him into selling the franchise in the first place due to all the hate he was getting are the same fans who now want him back because they don't like the new trilogy. The fans have nobody to blame for this new trilogy but themselves.
GraveRob and the sequels will be looked back on fondly by people who aren’t gay retards. Star Wars fans suck and everyone tries to ruin simple fun by being so serious. I had a great time watching all 9. The end.
LeXyZ because the people who grew up with “a new hope” shat on George’s vision for the prequels, literally everyone of them. It’s not generalising if it’s true.
@@kelnhide Because they were bloody awful movies for fucks sake. George Lucas turned into a money man and lost all of his soul and vision after the divorce. He even cross into Indiana Jones with the awful Crystal Skull movie. He is a good world builder but a poor director and writer. Not a bad guy but he has flaws.
That would be cool. But if I remember correctly, Spielberg was asked to direct ep. 1, if not one of the prequels,, but declined believing that George was the only man for the job. It would be interesting if he'd say yes this time around.
Spielberg wouldn't be such a great fit for Star Wars, I think. Surely better than Abrams and Johnson tho, lol. I'd just give that to Filoni, maybe Peter Jackson. Ridley Scott and Zack Snyder would guarantee some VERY interesting spin-offs.
Spielberg helped direct the prequels and advised Lucas. For example, he came up with the General Grievous fight. People are just ignorant and like to shit on things because of their overinflated hate for Lucas.
Sequel Trilogy with Lucas: Exploration of the Force's nature, with more exploration of the Whills and Midichlorians. Sequel Trilogy with Disney: big boom boom they fly now
Whills, yes. Midichlorians should have remained on the cutting room floor in the seventies, where someone had no gumption to stand up to George and tell him honestly just how much they ruined the beauty and simplicity and mystery of the force.
Kingsid24 I’m saying the story of Anakin is great, in theory. What we saw onscreen in the prequels was poorly written and directed by Lucas, poorly acted and portrayed by Christensen and the little kid from Jingle all the way. Laughably so.
While some people don't like the prequels, in my opinion, they were a success as it showed George Lucas was willing to take an immense risk, especially at the height of his career. Most people wouldn't do that, and would rather settle for telling the same story over and over again. We see this in the sequels.
He wasn't at the height of his career. He was a great producer and a great story writer, but the last movie he actually wrote the screenplay for and directed before A Phantom Menace is the original Star Wars (New Hope). And it shows.
@@hayax you don't talk about a whole career if you use the word 'prime'. You talk about a specific moment in that someone's career. The Prequel Trilogy is artistically bad. Really bad. Disney's stuff is lightyeara ahead. Star Wars ain't dead. Only furious manchidlren say that.
Who knows? If not surrounded by "yes man" and with a willingness to let others help maybe he could've made it way better. At least the prequels were HIS vision. The sequel trilogy is just boring. TLJ and RoS didn't feel.like Star Wars and they didn't make me care at all about the new characters
We know. We saw what Lucas did after a 10 year break from Star Wars before. It would be silly to think we'd get something better than the Prequel Films if he made another trilogy.
There are already interviews and videos out there about what story he wanted to tell for the sequels. I bet some “fans” would have hated them too and attacked George one more time for ruining his own creation. And you nailed it. It’s very hard to innovate and be successful every time. Bill Gates couldn’t. Steve Jobs couldn’t. George Lucas couldn’t. I wish people would be a bit kinder to folks who try their best but not get everything perfect.
I love Star Wars and I really like the prequels but I think this needed to happen. If Lucas had made the sequels, we would have had the same shitheads complaining about everything he put on screen, we deserve what's happening to Star Wars now. Remember to say "Thank You" to every prequel and Lucas basher.
You know broh I agree with you , I wish the Disney trilogy have never existed but you are right. Every time since the prequel came every body has insulated the prequel and George Lucas even the Simpson have insulated the prequel not one but twice, but later come the TFA will I like it the plot really has no sense and its a copy of NH and every body was saying that Abrams was the messiah whom will bring back ST from the hell that GL 've putting in it. But now that came TLJ and Rise of Palpatine , and Abrams doesn't bring nothing New to the lore, ST is really losing money the fans will not going to support nothing about the era of Resistance of the new canon and now the fans are complaining about the trilogy Lucasfilm and the media are calling every body sexist and racist and making the problem worst . Now that sequel trilogy come and gone a great opportunity has been lost and worst ST is losing money and the fandom thanks to Kk, Jar Jar Abrams ,Ruin Johnson , and The toxic fans of the last 20 years whom insulated GL but , as you said all this need to happen to GL and Prequel have been reinvicated and through ep 9 will gain money the trilogy will not gonna to grow in the fandom nor any of of its merchandise will gonna sold.
Tongisdabest13 then why is revenge of the sith considered the second best Star Wars movie by fans . If u look at polls empire is around 40% for first and revenge is like 35% for first.
lil steez well tbh yeah episode 3 was great but it still had its flaws, if we’re talking why the sales boomed their though. For 1, it’s star wars man you can’t really have the words star wars without box office success, especially for episode 3 since it was the final installment of the prequel trilogy, no matter how hellbent one fan can be, they will still stick to it in the end. Also mind showing me the polls of the most well liked movies just incase. The prequels we’re more of a guilty pleasure to describe it. You need to have a specific taste for movies to enjoy the movie. It’s kind of a so bad it’s good type of movie (for episodes 1-2)
Here’s the thing.... I never thought the prequels were bad. In fact, I personally love them. The world-building and philosophical ideas are all interesting and the overall story is tragically beautiful. The execution of it all just falls a little flat sometimes. And the acting/writing can be pretty weak. But I appreciate the prequels, because say what you want about them, they are one man’s true vision. And I respect that way more than a couple of Disney cash grabs. (Even if I did like The Force Awakens and loved The Last Jedi.) For me, the Star Wars saga began on Tatooine with Ani, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. And the Saga ended on Endor with Luke, Han and Leia. Everything else is just fan-fiction.
Just imagine. It would've been legendary. I've never got to be alive to see one of George's Star Wars films on the big screen. I just wish I could've seen the saga that I grew up with to get a proper ending by his own creator
Not entirely true, as proven by both the EU and Filoni. The EU makes a beautiful point of showing that Star Wars is about unlimited creativity, about worlds. Drew Karpyhyn, Timothy Zahn, Matthew Stover, David Filoni. They nailed it. That being said, I'd sell all my stuff for Lucas making a trilogy.
@@finnslibrary2189 yes but who started it all? Who allowed those brilliant people in to his universe? Who gave us Star Wars? Answer is George Lucas he created it and they added to it with his permission. So Star Wars is George's story.
@Tom Ffrench Yes really. You're literally comparing a movie trilogy in the main line of the sw saga, to a spinoff Christmas special. Stop being fallacious.
Its interesting to have watched George Lucas get torn apart over the prequels, only to have him be the hypothetical saviour of the prequels. Personally I’d of just like to have seen Gareth Edwards take the reins of this trilogy, he did a great job on rogue one. He brings new ideas while respecting the past.
I've always love the prequels so much. It's really amazing. Watch the prequels again and if you don't think that's enough add the clone wars. And I love what you said about George Lucas in the end. I miss him so much I wish he could have his story back and finish it as he wanted it to end.
I always loved Star Wars 1 to 6 never had a problem with the prequel. George is a legend and my admiration for him goes beyond any. It is a shame we didn't get what a lot of us wanted.
George was right, if he had have done another trilogy, people would’ve complained. As bad as it sounds, at least we can look back and appreciate his work a bit more - as it now gives us a different perspective. Failure is the greatest way for a Jedi to learn ;)
Cristian M which vision? His original thoughts, the ones that made it to screen, the ones he changed after the fact and retroactively installed, the expanded universe others created that sometimes counts as canon and sometimes not? I think some of us are so emotionally invested in a fantastic story and universe. But the idea that the creator of that universe might not have the same level of depth or fore thought we have, or the idea that the best parts might have been happy accidents, really bothers some people. Lucas, the billionaire could have easily made and continued any vision he had. He sold it all and walked away.
@@KZSoze It's not entirely all his fault, he was manipulated and betrayed by the Sith Lords Iger and Kennedy. He should have made the stipulation that the he would get to finish 7 - 9 a part of the sale condition, but again he trusted too much in Iger and Kennedy.
If Lucas was the director and screenwriter, then probably yes. Lucas is more of a storywriter. He can pitch on these incredible ideas and make one incredible story with great action, characters, emotion and character development. He wrote the story for episodes 1 - 6. However, he is not a great screenwriter and just not good with dialogue at all he is not all that incredible at writing dialogue. He wrote the script for the entire prequel trilogy and since he is not great with dialogue, it makes the trilogy suffer quite a bit in execution. Empire is the only one where he did not contribute to the script at all, which is probably why it’s considered one of the best.
I think it’s a shame we didn’t get to see George finish his story. I’d prefer to have midiclorines and more of the original characters used rather than what we got. And even worse now there’s no hope of ever seeing George’s vision come to life.
@@ForceMaximus84 seeing how great Lucas' ideas are with a bit of tweaking makes me angered that Disney shafted him. Even Clone Wars has his approval and that's my favourite thing to come out of Star Wars apart from the first trilogy
Tony Light it was annoying how heavily they relied on cheap nostalgia for all 3 movies. Like really this is sad y’all can’t come up with anything oh idk more creative and they were so predictable it insulted my intelligence.
Lucas wasn’t very good at writing, but could you imagine if the prequels were written well? With how good the overall story was they could have all 3 been masterpieces
I can look back on the Prequels, thanks in large back to the excellent Clone Wars and see the big picture of what George Lucas was trying to do. Especially in terms of vision and how the 6 movies are the fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker and rise and fall of Palpatine. This Disney Trilogy....I couldn't tell you what the point of it is except to make Disney lots and lots of money and piss off the fans. What are themes? The arcs? What are the timeless messages we can take from this Disney Sequel?
I like how the force awakens sets up a ton of possibilities that the new trilogy could have taken but neither of the films explores those possibilities like one would expect. Sure, the middle act tried to do something bold but boldness can still be done while making everything feel coherent and satisfying.
"I will criticize the man until the day he dies for the mistakes he made" bro he made a bad set of movies. no reason to hold him until death for it, a little dramatic
I’m actually thankful for Disney making the sequels. I waited for thousands and thousands of days since I first saw Ep 6 until I could see the sagas ending, Ep 9. The sequels even got an original John Williams score to accompany them, something I was concerned about as the years went by.
He changed the hole film industry. I'll would actually rather see a trilogy of Jar Jar from Lucas ideas then Disney's crap. And as he said a couple of months ago, for me star wars it's only six movies.
yeah, at least don't change directions at each movie. Killing off the main villain of a trilogy halfway through the second movie? No cohesion between films. Should be pretty obvious when creating a trilogy
@@faz6877 Yeah it would be way better if JJ directed and written the whole trilogy, maybe it still won't be up to many's expectations but at least it would be consistent. The plot points wouldn't have been plot holes if KK and Rian ruined JJ's points and didn't even think of setting up for episode 9. JJ had to rush all the set up plus the execution of the set ups in a single movie.I won't blame JJ like many others(I liked TROS as a movie really much) but KK and Rian must leave the whole Star Wars thing.
@@platypusmusic8843 J.J., Kennedy, Rian, Bob Iger - they are all to blame. It was rushed - they wanted to change it to make a maximum amount of money quick. And they all agreed to it at one point. J.J. was never good at ending stories and never had the intention to do more than one movie - probably because he knows this weakness of his.
George wouldn't have told us to fuck off if we didn't like what he did. He would've listened and did better in the next movie, all of which would have been better than both 8 and 9 to begin with
The Disney sequels really feel like they lack the imagination and creativity that Lucas brought with both of his trilogies. Chock-full of shabby writing and various narrative issues as they were, I always find myself enjoying the prequels just because of how rich and lively the worldbuilding is; it almost feels like a real universe with real, breathing characters. And I'm sure the OT would be just as lively if it weren't for the technological limitations of the time, but nonetheless it still has the same spirit. Disney, however, couldn't capture that same magic, and the sequel movies feel empty and so much less alive because of that.
Modesto native here. I went to the same Junior college as him and anthropology classes as well. He was truly the best thing to ever come out of that town and forever a legend.
So while I NOW kind of agree with this sentiment, Phil Szostak is on record recently saying that the primary story of TLJ was based on Lucas's approved 2013 treatments with Michael Ardent. I think its safe to assume people would STILL have lost their minds either way.
I believe TLJ used the Luke in exile idea yes and being inspired to train again by a new apprentice due to former student falling yes, but I doubt the first order/snoke would be a thing
@@StarWarsOnly agreed, Lucas would've kept the Empire destroyed and introduced new threats, and Luke would go to exile for knowledge and cuz of a new failure, not an ancient failure he repeats
The commentary over this video, to this episode in Star Wars history, from your respective and more likely many others, is both heart felt and reciprocated. WELL SAID. And may the force be with us all.
I wish there was a George Lucas Jr. Like Father, Like Son, but somewhat we need to move forward, its up to Disney to fix this asap. My hope is in Dave Feloni and Jon Favreau. Its still not over...
Its ludicrous to say it should have been Lucas when Lucas sold SW’s and Lucasfilms precisely because he did not want to do the sequels. He said he was too old and wanted to make other kind of films and he was getting old and that the sequels would take ten years. Go watch Lucas’s Charlie Rose interview. He literally said he did not want to produce ‘popular’ films he wanted to make films he liked.🤷♀️ If he really cared about his SW’s legacy he would have kept creative control in his Disney contract and he didn’t, he literally relinquished everything! I think Lucas should never have sold SW’s. Never! So I agree with you in sentiment but it was Lucas who left SW’s unprotected.
I'm 58. Stars Wars (and George Lucas) created a Beatlemania-level frenzy in 1977. What else can one say? We exist in a real life world wherein the Original, Prequel and Sequel trilogies are going to have to be recognized as essential connections to one another. Flawed. In places unresolved. At times infuriating. But - taken as a whole - we have to be grateful to Lucas for ALL NINE as they enhance the canvas of our lives. SciFi is cool...because of G.L.
The Disney "episodes" are not Star Wars. George Lucas didn't just sell Star Wars to Disney. They adopted his estate under contract if they took care of his legacy. They failed with the "episodes". Disney should have used the Bantam Spectra Books Star Wars Novels as screenplays and DEL REY Publications Star Wars Encyclopedia, First Edition, as a bible of sorts. They still can, remedy this debacle.
i'm hoping that if there ever is another film/trilogy, Dave Filoni writes it with Lucas in the back as the main inspiration for ideas. Like the Clone wars animation was done
“They definitely went too far in a few places” I understood that reference
Johnathan D. Hill Gorge Lucas said that after watching Phantom menace
They had casual people writing the stories so the idiots would eat it up

But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going, because they were holding on to something. That there is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for.”
The originals had just enough George Lucas, the prequels had too much George Lucas, the sequels have no George Lucas
Perfect comment.
Get this champ to the top!
Perfect.
George Lucas is the key to all this
I think that is how the real Yoda would have voiced it, much truth in your words

To add to that, and just as important as your points, it was to not have them bend over for any feminatzi,woke,SJW,"diversity" & what not political agenda BS. Even the legendary actors like Mark Hamill had no choice but to be a shadow of their former selves because they had to bend the knee to that and they might've done the same do George. Tbh, the direction the west has been heading as a society in the past couple of years and continues to head is what I often find to be the main issue nowadays, for films & a lot of other things.

I wish I could go in the parallel universe where Geroge Lucas makes 7, 8, and 9.
I come from the future. Don’t worry Kathleen Kennedy will step down and George Lucas will come one to help write the next trilogy
Unfortunately Lucas is quite old already, in his mind a new trilogy means 10 or more years of work, and we can no longer enjoy the 3 classic actors together.
Maybe, if we are lucky, in some years Filoni will be able to make a show or something with the main ideas that Lucas wanted to develop. WIth different characters of course (unless Disney decides to reboot post-RotJ which I don t think it can happen).
I've been there,...they're just as messed up!
I’m from that parallel universe. They were fantastic! Unfortunately I only brought back jordorsky’s Dune. That was the real masterpiece. If I release that dune film they will catch me. I can’t go back, can’t risk it. Being a thief that operates in parallel worlds is tough...but fun!
Reel Unique did you even see the prequels?! You want more of that?!🤯🤣
I hate acknowledging these last three movies as far as I'm concerned it ended at episode six
The movies ended at episode six and began at episode four. The second sequel was made only because George wanted to cash in on the lucrative toy deal that he lost out on in the Kenner deal. The first trilogy was special. The rest of the movies are derivative.

@El-ahrairah I think u need to watch ur brain of the RLM propaganda with this video
ua-cam.com/video/vqnjzVX8EKA/v-deo.html
"Passion" and "love" are two things that are completely absent in the prequel trilogy.
El-ahrairah if popularity is ur tool to judge a thing, then i dont need to prove ur stupidity, or maybe ur just afraid that all convictions could be questionning with that video
He sold it mainly due to wanting to focus on making short films for himself and his friends, and with the understanding that it would take probably 10 years to do it right and he isn't sure he will make it that long. Though I'm sure the shitty fans didn't help it is important to note that George is/was friends with the head of Disney and decided it would be for the best after they had a conversation about retirement.
Say what you want about the prequels but I loved them, and in some ways I loved them even more than the original trilogy (and I grew up with the OT). Maybe I was just at the right age or something but I never had any issues with young Anakin, I mean he's a kid, what were people expecting from him. Also I don't see how he's the main character of that movie, I'm more of the opinion that Obi-Wan Kenobi is the main character of episode 1.
Anyways the prequel trilogy did a ton of world-building, and actually spent some time letting us get to know that world, even as a kid I found the whole politics aspect of the whole thing to be quite interesting and a completely different story.
That's why I would have wanted Lucas's sequels, maybe not all of his ideas are great but dammit he can still tell a good story. The whole overarching story of the prequels is great, the ideas, the world, the themes, and the spectacle that actually has substance. The whole idea of the microbiotic world etc does sound somewhat silly but I'm damn sure it would still have been entertaining as all hell.
I totally agree. Anakin was not the only main character of Ep I. The story was followed by Qui Gon and Kenobi. IN my opinion, it is an underrated film that should be looked back and seen differently. Of course, we could of seen less of Jar Jar and the whole medichlorine thing was the scientific explanation of the force. A video created by Film THeory actually theorized that medichlorines is not the force itself but more like blood vessels that increased one's connection of the force depending on the number of medichlorines they had. George Lucas in an interview stated this. Though, this could have been explained or explored better in AOTC or ROTS or even in the first prequel film. I would rate it a 7/10 and I still love it.
@@Darth_Anomalous 100% agree with ya man!
@@Darth_Anomalous "A video created by Film THeory actually theorized that medichlorines is not the force itself but more like blood vessels..."
So he theorized about a given fact? Lmao midichlorians never were the Force itself, I don't get how so many people get this wrong. Qui-Gon's explanation was pretty straightforward.
And if you add The Clone Wars, it all becomes exponentially better
Finally some people that got the point. Of course Obi was the main character in TPM, in that movie he was the young hero lacking experience... and even being reckless and a bit disrespectful (contrasting with Qui-Gon, a maverick for the Jedi Council but always in control and balanced).
And the microbiotic world idea is not silly at all. Clone Wars last episodes (the ones with Yoda) showed us additional context and wow that was beautiful.
You know what a silly idea was? Let s bring Palpatine back and give no explanation for it, who cares about consistency in a fantasy work. Sic...

The problem is that the fans who hated George Lucas and pushed him into selling the franchise in the first place due to all the hate he was getting are the same fans who now want him back because they don't like the new trilogy. The fans have nobody to blame for this new trilogy but themselves.
GraveRob and the sequels will be looked back on fondly by people who aren’t gay retards. Star Wars fans suck and everyone tries to ruin simple fun by being so serious.
I had a great time watching all 9. The end.
Why are you generalizing?
LeXyZ because the people who grew up with “a new hope” shat on George’s vision for the prequels, literally everyone of them. It’s not generalising if it’s true.
After watching Rise Of Skywalker, I'm looking forward to the future and Star Wars: Episode X.
@@kelnhide Because they were bloody awful movies for fucks sake. George Lucas turned into a money man and lost all of his soul and vision after the divorce. He even cross into Indiana Jones with the awful Crystal Skull movie. He is a good world builder but a poor director and writer. Not a bad guy but he has flaws.
Imagine Spielberg came back to direct a sequel trilogy movie with the backing of Lucas
That would be cool. But if I remember correctly, Spielberg was asked to direct ep. 1, if not one of the prequels,, but declined believing that George was the only man for the job. It would be interesting if he'd say yes this time around.
Spielberg wouldn't be such a great fit for Star Wars, I think. Surely better than Abrams and Johnson tho, lol. I'd just give that to Filoni, maybe Peter Jackson. Ridley Scott and Zack Snyder would guarantee some VERY interesting spin-offs.
Like they did Indiana Jones
Idk. Kingdom of the crystal skull still sucked
Spielberg helped direct the prequels and advised Lucas. For example, he came up with the General Grievous fight. People are just ignorant and like to shit on things because of their overinflated hate for Lucas.
Sequel Trilogy with Lucas: Exploration of the Force's nature, with more exploration of the Whills and Midichlorians.

@@bigjawline9235 they fly now!!
Whills, yes. Midichlorians should have remained on the cutting room floor in the seventies, where someone had no gumption to stand up to George and tell him honestly just how much they ruined the beauty and simplicity and mystery of the force.
At least Lucas would have a coherent story building to some sort of climax, not a disjointed clusterfuck.
I would've watched or read Gorge Lucas's script of 7, 8 and 9.
I marathoned the saga, and I thought the prequels were alright story wise and all that. But you felt the passion in them.

@@andyscott5277 how was the story bad, ur telling me the story of Anakin Skywalker is bad?
Kingsid24 I’m saying the story of Anakin is great, in theory. What we saw onscreen in the prequels was poorly written and directed by Lucas, poorly acted and portrayed by Christensen and the little kid from Jingle all the way. Laughably so.
While some people don't like the prequels, in my opinion, they were a success as it showed George Lucas was willing to take an immense risk, especially at the height of his career. Most people wouldn't do that, and would rather settle for telling the same story over and over again. We see this in the sequels.
He wasn't at the height of his career. He was a great producer and a great story writer, but the last movie he actually wrote the screenplay for and directed before A Phantom Menace is the original Star Wars (New Hope). And it shows.

100% agree

Maybe if Finn was the main character, I would’ve liked it much more
At least George admitted he went too far in the prequels.... meanwhile
Disney: we cad do no wrong!
The sequels literally just ended. The prequels finished in 2005
There are already interviews and videos out there about what story he wanted to tell for the sequels. I bet some “fans” would have hated them too and attacked George one more time for ruining his own creation. And you nailed it. It’s very hard to innovate and be successful every time. Bill Gates couldn’t. Steve Jobs couldn’t. George Lucas couldn’t. I wish people would be a bit kinder to folks who try their best but not get everything perfect.
The prequels were awesome, especially relative to the new trilogy. The biggest mistake people made with them was taking them for granted.
I love Star Wars and I really like the prequels but I think this needed to happen. If Lucas had made the sequels, we would have had the same shitheads complaining about everything he put on screen, we deserve what's happening to Star Wars now. Remember to say "Thank You" to every prequel and Lucas basher.
You know broh I agree with you , I wish the Disney trilogy have never existed but you are right. Every time since the prequel came every body has insulated the prequel and George Lucas even the Simpson have insulated the prequel not one but twice, but later come the TFA will I like it the plot really has no sense and its a copy of NH and every body was saying that Abrams was the messiah whom will bring back ST from the hell that GL 've putting in it. But now that came TLJ and Rise of Palpatine , and Abrams doesn't bring nothing New to the lore, ST is really losing money the fans will not going to support nothing about the era of Resistance of the new canon and now the fans are complaining about the trilogy Lucasfilm and the media are calling every body sexist and racist and making the problem worst . Now that sequel trilogy come and gone a great opportunity has been lost and worst ST is losing money and the fandom thanks to Kk, Jar Jar Abrams ,Ruin Johnson , and The toxic fans of the last 20 years whom insulated GL but , as you said all this need to happen to GL and Prequel have been reinvicated and through ep 9 will gain money the trilogy will not gonna to grow in the fandom nor any of of its merchandise will gonna sold.

My exact same sentiments.

Commander Kyro the prequels were not great
Megasystem ! They were tho
lil steez its more of a subjective argument my friend
Tongisdabest13 then why is revenge of the sith considered the second best Star Wars movie by fans . If u look at polls empire is around 40% for first and revenge is like 35% for first.
lil steez well tbh yeah episode 3 was great but it still had its flaws, if we’re talking why the sales boomed their though. For 1, it’s star wars man you can’t really have the words star wars without box office success, especially for episode 3 since it was the final installment of the prequel trilogy, no matter how hellbent one fan can be, they will still stick to it in the end. Also mind showing me the polls of the most well liked movies just incase. The prequels we’re more of a guilty pleasure to describe it. You need to have a specific taste for movies to enjoy the movie. It’s kind of a so bad it’s good type of movie (for episodes 1-2)
The sequels had a ton of plagerism. They took the original trilogy and repackaged it over and over. It was disgusting
Plagiarism isn't the right word to use, copy is.
Here’s the thing.... I never thought the prequels were bad. In fact, I personally love them. The world-building and philosophical ideas are all interesting and the overall story is tragically beautiful. The execution of it all just falls a little flat sometimes. And the acting/writing can be pretty weak. But I appreciate the prequels, because say what you want about them, they are one man’s true vision. And I respect that way more than a couple of Disney cash grabs. (Even if I did like The Force Awakens and loved The Last Jedi.) For me, the Star Wars saga began on Tatooine with Ani, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. And the Saga ended on Endor with Luke, Han and Leia. Everything else is just fan-fiction.
Just imagine. It would've been legendary. I've never got to be alive to see one of George's Star Wars films on the big screen. I just wish I could've seen the saga that I grew up with to get a proper ending by his own creator
You don't Know what you have until it's gone...the saddest part it's that he probably doesn't have much time left if he comes back to the franchise

Its interesting to have watched George Lucas get torn apart over the prequels, only to have him be the hypothetical saviour of the prequels.

Well, actualy, there is plenty of great SW books and videogames after Ep VI. Maybe not canon anymore, but still great.
But he went back though to the beginning of Star Wars. And he was right there was no more Star Wars after that. Until Disney of course.
I wish the Skywalker saga ended in 2005 and stay ended during The Clone Wars airing on Cartoon Network in 2008-2016.

Cristian M they were not bad but ok
Cristian M which vision? His original thoughts, the ones that made it to screen, the ones he changed after the fact and retroactively installed, the expanded universe others created that sometimes counts as canon and sometimes not? I think some of us are so emotionally invested in a fantastic story and universe. But the idea that the creator of that universe might not have the same level of depth or fore thought we have, or the idea that the best parts might have been happy accidents, really bothers some people. Lucas, the billionaire could have easily made and continued any vision he had. He sold it all and walked away.
Screw Lucas' vision. It was more than Lucas' vision that made the original trilogy palatable.

After the Prequels, way too many people hated George.
If he had made the Sequels, those people would have burned down the damn Theater...
Exactly
If Lucas was the director and screenwriter, then probably yes. Lucas is more of a storywriter. He can pitch on these incredible ideas and make one incredible story with great action, characters, emotion and character development. He wrote the story for episodes 1 - 6. However, he is not a great screenwriter and just not good with dialogue at all he is not all that incredible at writing dialogue. He wrote the script for the entire prequel trilogy and since he is not great with dialogue, it makes the trilogy suffer quite a bit in execution. Empire is the only one where he did not contribute to the script at all, which is probably why it’s considered one of the best.
I always imagine what could have been if we got 1313, Lucas sequels and Coruscant underworld TV show
I Wish George Lucas Made 7 8 9 and then retire and Not sell Lucasfilm, and Dave Filoni becomes the Future CEO

I can look back on the Prequels, thanks in large back to the excellent Clone Wars and see the big picture of what George Lucas was trying to do. Especially in terms of vision and how the 6 movies are the fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker and rise and fall of Palpatine.
This Disney Trilogy....I couldn't tell you what the point of it is except to make Disney lots and lots of money and piss off the fans. What are themes? The arcs? What are the timeless messages we can take from this Disney Sequel?
I would LOVE to see the story of the Whills, the REAL sequel trilogy, in my humble opinion.
I like how the force awakens sets up a ton of possibilities that the new trilogy could have taken but neither of the films explores those possibilities like one would expect. Sure, the middle act tried to do something bold but boldness can still be done while making everything feel coherent and satisfying.
I don't consider the sequel trilogy to be canon.
This is one of the best reviews/treatments I've seen. No hate, no glorifying any parts of any of the trilogies. Well done.
"I will criticize the man until the day he dies for the mistakes he made" bro he made a bad set of movies. no reason to hold him until death for it, a little dramatic
Everyone is a critic these days. Original deals are hard to create, bashing them is easy. The entire bases of UA-cam..
I feel like the growth of the sw universe we got from ep 1-3 was far greater and more creative than the miniscule amount we received in the sequels.
Working with Dave and John, George’s sequels 100% would be superior to Disney’s trash reboot trilogy
I’m actually thankful for Disney making the sequels. I waited for thousands and thousands of days since I first saw Ep 6 until I could see the sagas ending, Ep 9. The sequels even got an original John Williams score to accompany them, something I was concerned about as the years went by.
He changed the hole film industry. I'll would actually rather see a trilogy of Jar Jar from Lucas ideas then Disney's crap. And as he said a couple of months ago, for me star wars it's only six movies.

George wouldn't have told us to fuck off if we didn't like what he did. He would've listened and did better in the next movie, all of which would have been better than both 8 and 9 to begin with
Anyone else just wishing we got George’s version of the sequels if it meant we didn’t get anything Disney Star Wars?
The Disney sequels really feel like they lack the imagination and creativity that Lucas brought with both of his trilogies. Chock-full of shabby writing and various narrative issues as they were, I always find myself enjoying the prequels just because of how rich and lively the worldbuilding is; it almost feels like a real universe with real, breathing characters. And I'm sure the OT would be just as lively if it weren't for the technological limitations of the time, but nonetheless it still has the same spirit. Disney, however, couldn't capture that same magic, and the sequel movies feel empty and so much less alive because of that.
He's not the best writer but he did do a decent job at building a world.
My problems with him is him changing things after the cake was baked.
Modesto native here. I went to the same Junior college as him and anthropology classes as well. He was truly the best thing to ever come out of that town and forever a legend.
Didn’t he supply his version of the sequels and Disney said “nahhhhh”?
You have the best take of any Star Wars fan I've seen so far. It's basically mine.
So while I NOW kind of agree with this sentiment, Phil Szostak is on record recently saying that the primary story of TLJ was based on Lucas's approved 2013 treatments with Michael Ardent. I think its safe to assume people would STILL have lost their minds either way.
I think only the Luke in exile aspect was adapted in the story and potentially the idea that he cut himself off from the Force
But there's nothing about the Whills
I'm pretty sure George Lycas would've went a total other way
I believe TLJ used the Luke in exile idea yes and being inspired to train again by a new apprentice due to former student falling yes, but I doubt the first order/snoke would be a thing
@@StarWarsOnly agreed, Lucas would've kept the Empire destroyed and introduced new threats, and Luke would go to exile for knowledge and cuz of a new failure, not an ancient failure he repeats
The commentary over this video, to this episode in Star Wars history, from your respective and more likely many others, is both heart felt and reciprocated. WELL SAID. And may the force be with us all.
It is good to restore the natural order of things after a period of such disarray, *don't you agree?*
Stevo you just made my day 👍🏼
I wish there was a George Lucas Jr. Like Father, Like Son, but somewhat we need to move forward, its up to Disney to fix this asap. My hope is in Dave Feloni and Jon Favreau. Its still not over...
Its ludicrous to say it should have been Lucas when Lucas sold SW’s and Lucasfilms precisely because he did not want to do the sequels. He said he was too old and wanted to make other kind of films and he was getting old and that the sequels would take ten years. Go watch Lucas’s Charlie Rose interview. He literally said he did not want to produce ‘popular’ films he wanted to make films he liked.🤷♀️ If he really cared about his SW’s legacy he would have kept creative control in his Disney contract and he didn’t, he literally relinquished everything! I think Lucas should never have sold SW’s. Never! So I agree with you in sentiment but it was Lucas who left SW’s unprotected.
I'm 58. Stars Wars (and George Lucas) created a Beatlemania-level frenzy in 1977. What else can one say? We exist in a real life world wherein the Original, Prequel and Sequel trilogies are going to have to be recognized as essential connections to one another. Flawed. In places unresolved. At times infuriating. But - taken as a whole - we have to be grateful to Lucas for ALL NINE as they enhance the canvas of our lives. SciFi is cool...because of G.L.
The Disney "episodes" are not Star Wars.
George Lucas didn't just sell Star Wars to Disney. They adopted his estate under contract if they took care of his legacy. They failed with the "episodes".
Disney should have used the Bantam Spectra Books Star Wars Novels as screenplays and DEL REY Publications Star Wars Encyclopedia, First Edition, as a bible of sorts. They still can, remedy this debacle.
i'm hoping that if there ever is another film/trilogy, Dave Filoni writes it with Lucas in the back as the main inspiration for ideas. Like the Clone wars animation was done
