I'd be happy with a single movie made without one of the actors being cast making me want to put a lightsaber up to my head and turn it on and off rapidly to labotomize myself rather than watching their excuse for acting.
). This is because of the fact that while he supports the EU, which is great, he has the odd idea that he can simply step on its toes and change what fans have accepted to be real when he feels like it. I mean, if he wanted to do that, why allow the books to even become canon??!Well knowing George, he'll probably not stop completely. He'll always have something new that he wants to do with Star Wars. I both kind of sympathize and am critical of him in this. He has had a very hands off relationship with the SWEU and fans are always wanting more of a good thing which Star Wars is. The problem is that eventually you end up repeating yourself or creating something that just can't compare to the originals. I liked the prequels but a lot of people were very harsh(overly so in my opinion) that they were "not the same" as the old ones. This can't be helped, the originals are LEGENDS, nothing will equal them because people will always judge whatever is new by those LEGENDS, so almost always the new stuff won't measure up in their expectations. George is trying to give people what they want and still do what he wants and make money. I honestly think he's out of ideas though and is trapped in the legacy of something he never expected to become this huge. I mean I even feel that after the yuuzhan vong that should have been it. I mean God look at all that galaxy has been through, I actually feel sorry for most of the characters! The legacy series is just a repeat of the prequels, old republic is a repeat, let's face it. It's time to do like Seinfeld did and say we're ahead but we've honestly done everything, it's time to leave the stage. George has my sympathy in that he's kind of trapped in this, I'm a bit critical of him in the respect he is doing nothing to improve the situation and basically let things run wild that led to this. I'd like to see some of the EU done in a show, the Thrawn Trilogy, Wraith and Rogue Squadron adventures, and the like.(The Yuuzhan Vong War is such a dark one that I don't think anyone short of HBO would touch it and how could you do something on that epic scale?) Basically I don't buy that George is done with Star Wars no more than Han and Lando are done at Sabbac, some things you just can't give up you know?
In an extensive interview with the New York Times to mark the arrival in US cinemas of second world war drama Red Tails, his long-gestating passion project, Lucas promised to make no new Star Wars films, citing negative reaction from fans of the series to his recent efforts.
The 67-year-old film-maker refused to apologise for making changes to his original Star Wars films through the addition of computer-generated imagery which many fans of the movies felt jarred with the more naturalistic look of the trilogy.
"On the internet, all those same guys that are complaining I made a change are completely changing the movie. I'm saying: 'Fine. But my movie, with my name on it, that says I did it, needs to be the way I want it.'"
"Why would I make any more," Lucas says, "when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?"
