Star Wars - Part 6

[Hush]

That's prolly because they know a bad script when they see it, to be fair though it was just a case of bad dialogue and some miscasting.

Didn't Lucas offer Spielberg and Ron Howard the chance to do Episodes II and III respectively and Spielberg turned it down and convinced Lucas to direct all three?

Well i read somewhere that Spielberg and Coppola told Lucas he should direct the new trilogy he had in mind and convinced him to do so and not get anyone else in the driver's seat. Dunno if it's true or not or where i read it, but that's what i remember.

I thought it was Tom Stoppard who told him to do his own thing?

I love Lucas behind the camera. I think he is a great filmmaker especially action scenes but his problem is that he doesn't know how to get actors to do what he wants effectively and I'm pretty sure he'd be the first to tell you that.

Looks like we have tons of stories floating around regarding that then

My two favorite SW movies (ANH and ROTS) are directed by Lucas, so what can i tell ya lol.

This is basically my feelings on the matter.

I love Lucas directing too. The man is a true pioneer. He directed completely digitally back in 2002 when Fincher was still using film.

He had people on set to help out with getting the actors to act didn't he? I thought I remember hearing that. Up until Attack of the Clones, he never really had to direct a romantic scene before and its pretty obvious that isn't his forte. Unfortunately, for him he had to have them in the 2nd and 3rd movie. As bad as the acting could be at times or the dialogue, every scene is always expertly filmed. I love how he usually just keeps the camera still, sometimes simpler is better. Also, his use of music is usually pretty phenomenal. Easily my favorite non action scene is the scene right after Mace goes to the Jedi Temple In Ep. 3 while Anakin and Padme are both sitting around thinking and that haunting music is playing. Its probably one of my favorite scenes in any movie ever.

Yeah. I got goosebumps during that scene, man. It's as almost you can feel the struggle, the emotions, the turmoil.

Also, more art.

I know it would be putting him twice, but if old Ben had been there it would have been even more awesome for me. That's still fantastic though

Padme's Ruminations... haunting and beautiful indeed. One of the best movie collaborations ever has to be the one between Lucas and John Williams. Say what you want about the movies, but the scores are simply brilliant and fit in with the movies perfectly.

I think if the right idea came along for a new trilogy then Lucas would be fine with someone else directing, especially given the fact he was even willing to turn over the reigns on his own story.......I'll just say this, Lucas and Brad Bird should have a meeting......

Lack of Chewie and Jango aside this is awesome, shame about the bit watermark though.

My two favorite SW movies (ANH and ROTS) are directed by Lucas, so what can i tell ya lol.

My two favourites are the middle movies of both trilogies, The Two Towers is also my favourite LOTR's movie so I guess I'm a middle guy in general.

Hmm when you put it that way, i guess i'm kind of a first movie kinda gal for the most part then (although i'm torn constantly between ANH and ROTS depending on my mood), i like Fellowship, Batman Begins, The Godfather 1, Raiders better than the others.

Raiders is the only exception for me on that list, although at times favourites can swing depending on my mood lol.

I'm gonna have to disagree with Lucas not getting the best out of his actors because in American Graffiti he got the best out of Ron Howard.

Means nothing when you compare the outcome.
