George REALLY wanted to make movies HE wanted to watch. He was hoping Star Wars would get a bunch of copycats and he could relax and enjoy what the copycats came up with.
I think he’s coming back for 10 11 and 12. At least we hoping so. Because 7 8 9 was so damn horrible. He regrets selling it to them. It’s just a Rumor tho.
1:42 Seeing George with a cup of coffee locked out of ILM, gave me the inspiration to always have a cup of coffee in hand when I cosplayed as him for the 2019 Star Wars Celebration.
@@ShawHortonMusic He actually hates directing. He was his own last choice for the prequels, but he had to write and direct them because of his still existing beef with the DGA, PGA, and WGA. Hence he's straight up admitted he hated how "Episode I" turned out, and had a co-writer for "Episode II." I'd like to see him PRODUCE another film, since -- by his own admission -- he seems to be WAY better and more passionate at that. Hence, films he's produced are often way better than ones he's directed ("Episode V," "Kagemusha," "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters," and "Powaqqatsi" being some examples).
@@MrMarsFargo Yeah, I’ve heard him say several times that he doesn’t like directing. He actually asked Ron Howard, Robert Zemeckis, and Steven Spielberg if they would direct each of the prequel films, but they all apparently told him that he should do it since he’s the creator. I believe he also asked Irvin Kershner to return, who declined, and he asked Lawrence Kasdan to help write, but Kasdan said he wasn’t interested in going backward, only forward. Kasdan has always been a Han guy so it makes sense that he wanted to write Solo, and that he agreed to help write The Force Awakens. But that’s why I hate when people say Lucas did all three prequels because of his “ego” or something like that. It’s documented that he asked people to help, or even do the job for him, but they all declined. I’d agree that he’s a better producer than he is director, and that he seems most passionate about that side of filmmaking. He’s also obviously big into advancing film technology, which he did beautifully with both trilogies. Although, I do find his directorial choices to be very interesting. He’s only directed six features; four Star Wars movies, and two non-SW movies (THX 1138 and American Graffiti), plus a handful of student short films. Even if directing isn’t his favorite thing, I would personally love to see what a current-day Lucas would do with another non-Star Wars film. I’m just very curious to see the kind of stuff he would make away from the saga. I assume it would mostly be experimental stuff that he was really into back in college. But I doubt he has any interest in filmmaking anymore, even as a producer, which is a real shame because he’s one of the most creative voices to have ever worked in the industry. Maybe we’ll see something after he gets his museum up and running, but I’m not gonna hold my breath.
@@ShawHortonMusic Lucas' talents go beyond producing I think. He does have great instincts with characters, worldbuilding, symbolism and story. It's simply that he isn't that interested in dialogue, and isn't that interested in getting into character motivations with his actors. He clearly enjoys the edit process, too. Although Kasdan gets a lot of credit for ESB, I think the cast and Kershner also made a lot of changes. There's a scan of the script with revisions by Carrie, and we know that Harrison ad libbed his line after talking with Kershner. Solo is one of the most forgettable movies I've seen, and Kasdan was all over that.
@@draxx8107 lol You know how he was inspired by _7 Samurai For 7 Brides_ ? Well, George Lucas and F.F. Coppola are credited at the end of _KAGEMUSHA_ (JP, `8Ø) as executive producers for the international release. What that has TF ta do w/you IDK!
7:54 --> “It will be hell until I get back, and when I get back it will be worse.”-> the last words said by George on set before his franchise was taken over and mostly destroyed ☠️.
George Lucas: It's a little.... *silence, he's thinking deeply about what to say and is about to deconstruct my work and offer constructive criticism* George Lucas: ....much.
Honestly if I met him I’d just tell him thank you from the bottom of my heart, I was born in 84, a year after RotJ, but the memories I have associated with his stories......just thank you Mr Lucas
Those Japanese Panasonic commercials are some of the most bizarre video I've ever seen. (But, then again, ALL Japanese commercials are bizarre anyway.) Also, I wish he had gone for the mohawked Anakin. That looked SO excellent.
That's the Anakin all of the edgelord Gen X dorks wanted for the prequels - the guy killing indiscriminately who could never be the father of the dork who wound up raised on Tatooine.
I have never seen that Panasonic clip before, and I have got to say, I really really enjoyed that. I thought it was going to be super cringey as soon as I saw George walking with the Ewoks, but then I saw Vader bow his head in respect and then pose. Super cool.
A lot of people dumped on George for a few things he did in the prequels, but I forgive all of them for video proof of him looking at 5:12 and saying "it's too much" he probably saved his own franchise truckloads of embarrassment by giving that design a veto
To think every Star Wars fan hated this man only a few years ago. And then hated him even more when The Force Awakens came out. But with The Last Jedi, the rose coloured glasses had come off and everybody wanted to go back to the good old days when it was just Lucas' vision on screen. Now everyone admires him for grabbing his 5 Billion and having a wife and a kid, and just peaceing out when it all began.
1:05 Giant doin' cartwheels, statue wearin' high heels Look at all the happy creatures dancin' on the lawn Dinosaur Victrola list'nin' to Buck Owens Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door Lucas is like "i am sooooo wasted right now"
I love the Japanese Panasonic commercials. They never thought the rest of the world would see them with the internet.
Mostly fine if a little heavy handed until the last one that seemed to diverge a bit and be stranger.
You're namn is funny
George is the key to all this... he's a funnier character then we've had before.
- God showing his Angels concept art of George Lucas in Heaven
@@ScrubmanLowell😂 amazing comment
George got what every nerd ever wanted, a shitload of money to make a sci fi movie.
Not just one 6 of those
"sci fi"
boo hoo he left out a dash @@purefoldnz3070

What are those Panasonic commercials!?! Wtf XD
Ikr
Two words japanese people
At least something happy was happening in the end
"Something NEW"
They’re art that’s what they are.
“Jar Jar is my favorite Character! He’s the Key to all this!”
I really want George Lucas to make at least One more film! Even if it’s not StarWars.
He has made more films
@@_lusty_boy_ like what?
@@Cruzgarcia607 there all private films he just makes for himself
i want a remake of american graffiti

sounds cool, no pics?¿
Hahahah, cosplaying George in itself is an awesome idea, though probably not too uncommon there? :D
It pains me every day that this man didn’t get to make another trilogy
Honestly, all I want is to see another film by George Lucas.
hey never lose hope there’s still a chance

1:10 when George lucas dies this is where he is going
Dont jinx it
#Gladiator
I though the same thing. It looks like, the ewoks are leading him to the afterlife.
Bruh
I kind of imagined him ending up on Mustafar, brooding within a totally empty food court with an endless salad bar.
George Lucas' quest to save cinema in the playboy mansion should be a movie, j/s
As an 18 year old I would cry if I met George Lucas in person. I wouldnt know what to do.
Andrew Hamilton so they can’t appreciate and be a fan of his past work? Okay dude
Just kiss him
i wouldnt even need to be 18 for that to happen
As a 20 year old film student same lol
Just hold him in a safe position and put the fire out.
He’s got a good sense of humor
Holy fuck FILONI has even inherited THE HAT
THE ALMIGHTY HAT OF STAR WARS
to me, star wars will always be the star wars Lucas created: episodes 1-6.
I mean Clone wars 2007 is a Star Wars movie. The sequels and stories are not.
The things George sat in on are good too! Like the Mandalorian and rogue one
Yeah I agree. Yamborghini
And the clone wars
Yeah
5:10 “I think its too.... (awkward silence) ....much”
5:12 Thank god they didn’t do anakin that way
He was. They became acquaintances late ring life. george even funded Kagemusha
@@guileniam what are you even saying
@@draxx8107 lol
You know how he was inspired by
_7 Samurai For 7 Brides_ ?
Well, George Lucas and F.F. Coppola are credited at the end of _KAGEMUSHA_ (JP, `8Ø) as executive producers for the international release.
What that has TF ta do w/you IDK!
@Simply Palid huh?

lol
He did
Kurosawa would be proud.

I don't remember that being told by Anakin
@@aimnotjouk734 multiverse timey wimey crap, too complex to explain no time there's something behind you!
George can tinker, reshoot, reimagine, and F up whatever - I’ll always love this human being.
Whenever I feel down. I sometimes watch this.
me too, fr. I just had an emotional breakdown and this made me stop crying and start laughing :')
5:12 - 5:18 is the funniest timing I’ve ever seen. Lucas is a comedic master.
Dude, I lost it at 6:56
I lost it at 7:01
I lost at 6:27 xd
He's mid talking and it just cuts his voice out so scuffed
He's such an unintentionally funny dude.
I'm not sure if it's unintentional or his sense of humor is just that dry
George Lucas: It's a little....
*silence, he's thinking deeply about what to say and is about to deconstruct my work and offer constructive criticism*
George Lucas: ....much.
Despite being American, he noticably has that British reserved/awkwardness to him.
Thank you George for all the great stories you have created for us.

They remind me of the Simpsons Mr. Sparkle commercial.
1:36 looks like the office
Now I want a show that documents George Lucas' s day to day work life.
@@crupplemcsplits792 I'm kinda late, but the Behind the scenes Websodes from the prequels are basically this.
@@DATFilms that's funny considering I've seen like a ton of them and I'm just now realizing they basically are that

The Panasonic ads really are wholesome.
Oh man, he had no idea how true those words before he left Lucasfilm would be.
dam those words of his blew up
Every single one of these would be a world class meme
A genius underappreciated
happy belated birthday to George Lucas! Love the original trilogy and the Prequels.
A lot of people dumped on George for a few things he did in the prequels, but I forgive all of them for video proof of him looking at 5:12 and saying "it's too much" he probably saved his own franchise truckloads of embarrassment by giving that design a veto
Ah yes, I too morph into a camera on a track 0:24
0:08 if Lucas can do all those different sound effects, how come he didn’t do the sound effects as a third role apart from writer and director?
He came down with a cough during the making of Episode 3. He recorded the cough and the sound was used for General Grievous.
To think every Star Wars fan hated this man only a few years ago. And then hated him even more when The Force Awakens came out.

Those Panasonic ads are fantastic
He's like Michael Scott irl, omg
the panasonic commercials feel like a fever dream
I need a Panasonic Death Star now.
We can truly experience the universe- George Lucas.
3:14 Like a bantha!
That's Rich Evans in his George Lucas costume. HE DID THE PREQUELS!!
He smells like flannel and BO
I really like George Lucas 😁 those Panasonic adds remind me of Joey’s “Itchyban - Lipstick For Men” in friends 😂
George Lucas: Itsumo (Always) Something new.

The storm troopers with George Lucas on a boat... bruh lolol
This was a trip to watch lol
That one were hes in the field with the ewoks holding hands and skipping.... fuckin beautiful man
6:12 - 6:26
How? How did he do that?
What's that movie? I'm looking for the music
It's 3 am and this is what I end up watching.
so comfy
Those Panasonic commercials gave me a new sort of feeling and it scares me
if he didnt get bullied over his prequels we may not have the god awful sequels we got now
I love George Lucas
2:17 sums it up nicely
This guy IS my childhood
SUBARASHIIII
Thank you 🙏
How many of these Japanese commercials did this man fucking do? 🤣🤣
Yes
This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!
Thank you for creating me George.
I think is too... much.
