George Lucas was the chief editor on the original Star Wars. He oversaw the entire process and edited the acclaimed gunport sequence himself. His wife Marcia only edited a third of the movie and left to work on another movie before the final edit was even completed. There were two other editors who edited the other 2/3 of the movie. The notion that Lucas had nothing to do with the editing of the original movie, that he's a terrible editor, or that his wife singlehandedly saved from the movie from him--it's all a myth.
Well yeah, supervising the editing is what a director does. But if Marcia edited 1/3 of the movie, and the other 2 editors edited 2/3 of the movie, what was left for George to edit, besides the gunport sequence, which was storyboarded and pre-visualized with old war footage before the visual effects were shot.
04:49 The things he spoke about differences between joy and pleasure really hit me, and how both of them fused together to be called happiness, and also love this bit from him, how life is fluid 15:17 . I learn a lot from these clips, thank you for making it.
George Lucas is a man with a vision and does what he can to see that vision through till the end. He’s made some of the best films ever made and has done so much to help filmmaking it’s truly astounding. Thank you for this video man!
I highly recommend reading 'George Lucas: A Biography' by John Baxter. I'm almost finished reading it, great book! It goes into great detail about Lucas and the making of his films.
Having a First Order trooper in this thumb nail…next to George Lucas…is so unfathomably irritating lol. Y’all have GOT to fix that. It’s a big time fail.
One thing about George is that he likes to revise the past and make it sound like he figured it all out in one go, but the actual development of Star Wars was a very tedious process for Lucas who suffered emotionally and physically. While it's nice to listen to older George, the younger George would've told a much different story about the process. Still, what a legend and what a great man.
It felt like Disney didn't even care about the Star Wars movies 7-9. They just wanted the Name. So they can make a Disney movie and call it Star Wars. I felt so bad for Mark Hamill having to go through that. For the work.

Wow I would never take directing advice from George Lucas. He admitted he hates directing and his casts and crews can vouch for how bad of a director he is. That’s why Empire and Jedi are so good. And by the way his wife at the time edited a new hope. Not George.
Does anyone think of him as a writer? Star Wars is pretty derivative (of multiple sources) and he never made another movie beside Star Wars. He gets a lot of story credits, but that doesn’t mean anything.
This is an interesting question, but I think he considers himself, first and foremost, a writer. He studied screenwriting in film school. He is the one who invented the Indiana Jones character and those plots, and he devised the story for Star Wars over the course of six movies. He is very meticulous in his development of story, and I think it is a great feat to synthesize different story ideas, like in the case of Star Wars, into a singular film plot. I think he is a master of the screenwriting craft.
Your second sentence is completely wrong. He directed American Grafitti which is considered by many, a masterpiece. THX 1138 is also a great sci he directed
@@jesaispasvraimentquoiecrireici I don’t deny that he is a great director. However, I believe I saw an interview in which he said he considers himself a writer first and a director second.
Thank you, George Lucas is my hero.
Same
this guy is straight up inspiring, true authentic dude and straight to the point
The more I learn about Him, the more I appriciate his work.
I write to music as well. Helps with seeing the story in your mind before you commit to a screenplay.
Helps me get get the mood and style of the story I'm telling.

Lucas is underrated

I've got writing work to do . ...✏📖
It saddens me to look back on how George was treated for the prequels. It was all so undeserved
I highly recommend reading 'George Lucas: A Biography' by John Baxter. I'm almost finished reading it, great book! It goes into great detail about Lucas and the making of his films.
What a genius!
love George

Tip number 1: Never, ever, sell anything to Disney, they'll just fuck it up!
MTFBWY
I do the same I write in the middle then get a beginning and ending

He never denied that, that's why he didn't direct Empire and Jedi alone - too much stress.
It felt like Disney didn't even care about the Star Wars movies 7-9.

Lucas worked hard early and made people excited to WORK ON NEW STUFF; very Orthodox Christian man
Yours heartily share recommend
He is my mentor. I wish I could tell him that in person.
Do one on Yorgos Lanthimos?
Yes boss.
there's lucas, and then there's everyone else. that's the way it is...
You should do tips from Roman Polanski
3:50 George: It can't get any worse.
Kathleen Kennedy: Hold my martini.
Suggest u to make on James Cameron
Только ситхи все возводят в абсолют))
George Lucas is the last person I'd want positive advice from about writing. Maybe advice about dialogue I can throw away.

George Lucas how to be a great writer and director steal "The Hidden Fortress"
Tip #11. Do not get pretentious. Too late.

Really?
Forgive me for my political incorrectness but, that rude African girl is awful. No thankyou!!!❤

Lucas wrote every sw movie, but didn't direct them all. Also he wrote indiana Jones, American graffiti. So he's even more a writer than a director
George Lucas the thief of Dune
No.
Explain more definitively
Writing tips from Lucas?! That's a good joke.
Care to elaborate?
@@legotwoface He's an atrocious screenwriter.
@@eamonnmaccionnaith5761 you're original comment pretty much says (or at least implies) the same thing. So it's not really elaboration
@@legotwoface Watch the prequels. You won't need any further elaboration.
@@eamonnmaccionnaith5761 ok? What makes the prequels so bad in your eyes? (Sorry for not replying sooner)
