George Lucas Criticizes New Star Wars Films (Article)

[Art Barr]

NO way its on par with the 4-5-6...

I have it below and ahead of part 1-2...but to say its just as good is not true.
Only thing i really liked about it was finally seeing Yoda vs Palps and grievous...

Alot of the movie felt rushed to me...they didnt set up the original trilogy that well...

They even explained where Vader came from and he was a clone.
I don't think guys knew much star wars mythos to give this critique.
The sequels barring the jar jar stuff is all top notch.
Obi won showed why he is the best most confident Jedi all time.
all through the prequels and how resourceful to bad ass he was.
Like I seriously put obi won ahead of every Jedi cause obi won was that deal.
Just off the strength of the prequels.

George Lucas said no lie in his criticism

And those saying he regrets not making more money from the deal... you idiots realize that he donated 99% of his wealth? Money isn't an issue for this dude

As an OG head myself i dont mind the prequels as much as some,they not up there with the originals for me but i dont think they as bad.
If you SW head you'll appreciate the stories and the gaps they are trying to fill that were void for 2 decades...

As far as Jedi go tho nobody was over Yoda breh....Obie One could barely handle Anakin and then got killed by him later on...He wasnt gonna force throw floating seat carousels with the lower ground back at Palps...That was ultimate badassery B...

Yoda/Palps = Andre/Hogan

Yoda is on another total tier as a Jedi.
I look at him as a supreme master and the big gun.
I praise obi won cause he was on top of shyt regardless of where he was or at.
He was the main mercenary or hired gun before shyt hit the complete fan and you call,...i mean Yoda steps in.

Copping pleas?

I want to clarify my interview on the Charlie Rose Show. It was for the Kennedy Center Honors and conducted prior to the premiere of the film. I misspoke and used a very inappropriate analogy and for that I apologize.

I have been working with Disney for 40 years and chose them as the custodians of Star Wars because of my great respect for the company and Bob Iger’s leadership. Disney is doing an incredible job of taking care of and expanding the franchise. I rarely go out with statements to clarify my feelings but I feel it is important to make it clear that I am thrilled that Disney has the franchise and is moving it in such exciting directions in film, television and the parks. Most of all I’m blown away with the record breaking blockbuster success of the new movie and am very proud of JJ and Kathy. - George Lucas

George Lucas also did not like The Empire Strikes Back..the other film he had the least involvement with. Surprised anyone?

George Lucas says Empire Strikes Back was the Worst Star Wars Movie - /Film

From the link

“George Lucas, giving the award to Sid Ganis, who was the in-house publicist on Star Wars: Episode Five – The Empire Strikes Back, said, ‘Sid is the reason why The Empire Strikes Back is always written about as the best of the films, when it actually was the worst one.'”

Sounds like he was making a joke. The type of thing someone would say at a "roast". I'm not seeing anything here that says "George Lucas also did not like The Empire Strikes Back." It's just sarcasm.

I agree seeing that's the only time he it or referred to it being bad.
In that link I posted he says something about he would've directed it different but the fans like it the way it is so its whatever.
