  • What a treat this is. I'm so thankful for Paul Duncan's book The Star Wars Archives 1999-2005. It has so many interviews and exclusive things with George Lucas that reveals things I never knew about. It's always a fun time reading from this book because you never know what you find in each new page.
    I feel it's necessary for us to understand what George Lucas thought of the Sith and Jedi

      yeah, that's the very point of the Sith and the dark side. as Anakin says, they rely on their passion for their strength, their emotions. whereas the Jedi control their emotions and their dark side to keep it in balance (the "light side," which is really just the Force at balance with itself). so they are more compassionate and selfless.

      ​@sj conker that's not really true nor fair imo, the emperor only wanted power for himself. he was only willing to settle for peace if he was at the top. "the sith will rule the galaxy... and we shall have peace." i mean, he literally started wars just to gain power. he was entirely greedy and selfish, not empathetic to everyone's plight. Vader's motivation, on the other hand, might have partially been to bring order but he was still evil, torturing and murdering left and right. doing things because you feel the ends justify the means, "for the greater good," that's not really any form of empathy or caring, it's delusion. if one were truly empathetic one wouldn't do those things, you have to be desensitized to do so, which is the opposite of empathy, even if one "justifies" it as being for the greater good. way i see it

He felt he deserved his suffering and deep down each person he murdered was a way of repressing Anakin. That's why Vader refused a comfortable suit that wouldn't tear at his burnt flesh. This is why when Vader is alone in his quarters the Sith tortures himself by reliving his evil deads mentally. All the way back to killing his wife. In the end Vader wanted Luke to tell Leia that he "changed" and Anakin was reborn. This is massive because Vader claimed to have destroyed Anakin in Rebels.

    When George Lucas said, “they aren’t super people.” I wish the makers of the sequels would have read that. They intentionally made Rey an overpowered captain marvel like Mary Sue. George Lucas had Jedi use the force like a tool, and it augmented natural abilities like jumping, running, reflexes, etc. But it wasn’t and was never meant to be a super power. Jedi still had to physically exercise to get physically stronger. They had to train and hone both the force and their physical/mental skills. The sequels made the force a comic book like Superman power and ruined the subtlety that made the force so mysterious and interesting when we all first learned about it. #Makethesequelsnonecanon

    I do believe that even if Anakin wasn't discovered when he was, him being an all-star pod racer would have only fueled his ego as his celebrity status grew, which would have only made him all the more malleable to someone like Palpatine. Worse, without the teachings of the Jedi, he would have gone dark much sooner.

Those details just weren't super-important to the story he was telling.

  • @logicaldude3611
    @logicaldude3611 3 роки тому +2

    One thing Lucas suffered from a bit over the years was that his story was so popular, it led to fan theories and novels and all kinds of other things that didn't actually come from his mouth but were regarded somewhat as "canon". The prequels fell flat when they came out because people already had an idea of what was "supposed" to happen or how things were "supposed" to be. But Lucas hadn't really said much about how things were, it was just speculation by fans. Then Anakin becomes space Jesus, the Jedi Knights have a Council in an ivory tower and are basically superheroes, the Clone Wars had nothing to do with cloning Jedi or regular people or whatever. A lot of people didn't like that, at all. It's the same thing with the Legends novels that happen after the OT, sure they were rubber-stamped by the company but they didn't have much to do with Lucas' vision for a sequel trilogy. Lucas would have thrown them out just like Disney did. And people would hate on Lucas for continuing HIS story.
    I always find it fascinating to hear what Lucas himself really thought about things because in the end, it's his opinion that matters the most. Lucas is to Star Wars what JRR Tolkien is to Middle Earth. Their opinion is really the only canon. You still have people arguing over how the Jedi weren't REALLY good after all and they're basically the same as the Sith, but in Lucas' mind (as the creator of the universe) the Jedi are the clear good guys and the Sith are the clear bad guys. There's no gray, moral ambiguity. The Jedi lost their way a bit and were blind during the Clone Wars, but they were the only thing holding back evil from the galaxy. Also, in Lucas' mind, the Sith are the imbalance in the Force, not the Jedi/Sith dichotomy (people argue ALL THE TIME that the Jedi and Sith both needed to die off for there to be "balance" but George did NOT see it that way). The Jedi use the Force for balance while the Sith pervert it into their own tool for power.

In George Lucas made personal attachments and the fear them from as Anakin's path to the darkside.

      Sorry but he’s definitely not. The original trilogy was good because he he’s a great sfx artist and the people he worked with could call him out on his bs. When he became successful enough to do what he wanted, he made some really bad movies, and relied on actually talented storytellers to save his story with tv shows and comics. I love star wars, but it was really a fluke for George Lucas.

    • @simpsonsquire1997

      @@maryarunkle7519 That’s quite a bold claim. I don’t think it’s fair to disregard George Lucas like that.
      I never denied that he had inconsistencies here and there, I just don’t constantly dwell on them. It’s one thing to point out his inconsistencies, it’s another to almost credit discredit him entirely for his involvement in the Star Wars franchise.
      If you have sources about how he was on “his bs”, I’d love to see/read them.
      Yes, he had some help from others, yes, others played a significant role and extended the franchise greatly in the making of others movies, games, tv series and what not, like Dave but it all boils down to George Lucas’ blueprint in regards to the entire story, lore, and everything we’ve come to learn and love about the Star Wars Universe. You can like it, you can dread it, but that’s something that should be respected whether if you like the Prequels or not.
      I understand that even creators and storywriters need some help and enhancements on a few places at times to make their universe grow and work, by no means is he perfect at doing it, but to straight-up call him a “fluke” for his own astronomical child is pretty strong, let alone disrespectful if you ask me.

He was the strongest and wisest next to Master Yoda when he turned to the dark side he was a force of evil to be reckoned with. An aristocrat, a gentleman, a strategist, expert duelist, strong in the force, knew the good side, knew the bad side. Where would the war have gone if palpatine would have been satisfied with dooku?

    I like Lucas' input here. But I either miss something or there's a controversy. He says a war between Jedi and Sith never happened. Then, digs a whole lot of things which pretty much happened to be, well...a war between Jedi and Sith lol. I mean, Lucas kind of ordered the Darth Bane trilogy to be written. The book mentions Revan and Malak story arcs from KOTOR. Now, KOTOR was not a direct war between Jedi and Sith but it happened as a side effect of other wars. And SWTOR - as a continuation of the same story - is even more of an exact war between these two factions. So, I'm not really sure how he meant that.
    Even though the Darth Bane trilogy connects the (KO)TOR era with the movies perfectly.

    Darth Bane trilogy is not only one of the most entertaining reads, but it’s also a pivotal point of lore and puts so much of the Sith in context.
    Also, Bane successfully essence transferred to Zannah. The author clearly implies it with the reflexive flexing of the fist after Bane attempts the essence transfer, which was a remnant of Bane’s orbalisk infection.

      The author was actually quite frustrated that people did not understand that straight away.

That is why the dark side will never win: it is self defeating.
