    well...we are talking about SW because of them..not only here... movie sites in general.......so they keep the momemtum going.

    They are repetitive, but the headlines are all over the Internet (Star Wars - Video - Part 4)

    To me, it looks like she thinks that GL is going off on a little bit of a dry, academic tangent. She tries to divert back with the "bad choices" comment but then gives up. Luckily (or not if you think it's not an issue), all that dry, esoteric stuff (to me at least) can be filtered into something more relatable and dramatically engaging by Kennedy and the new team.

    The problem was that in the PT, when GL clapped his hands and finished his point, there was no one who could say, um... George... isn't it a little bit more nuanced than "democracies give up their freedoms to evil people who are evil because they are selfish"?

    I mean, I think GL is a great anthropologist and student of history, but saying "if you are selfish you become evil" is not the best reading of human nature to me.

    Kennedy's take on the bad choices we make is more realistic.

    I'm not saying that GL doesn't have a more layered take on it all, I'm sure he does. It's just that his expression and execution of those ideas isn't as strong as it perhaps could be.

    Frankly, I thought he was the one saving her from slipping into bland producer speak.

    Absolutely! Frabk Marshall, Kathleen's husband, said he pretty much knew who the director was and this was at the beginning of November.

    Originally they were going to be released every week. There must be some reason they are stretching them out now. Again not insinuating that there is something coming. Maybe they had expected to have the director deal locked down so they don't want a gap in the headlines between the end of the video series and announcements.

    I think it was the other way round, Law. I've seen that look in plenty of script meetings where someone goes off down the wrong track and you can see people thinking "huh?".

    Understandably, she's treading very carefully around the great man.

    George Lucas looks so down in these videos. I know he said he wants to move on to different things but could he at least hand the franchise over with a smile....even a little one.....nooooo...No.

    That's just his demeanor. He's always looked like that, in every interview I've seen with him.

    Wow. What a rambling motormouth bullcrapper Lucas sounds like. Snoozearooni. I am now sure these vids are intentionally put out to apologize for the PT and show the loonie who made them, justifying the handover.

    I agree, this was part of my whole "conspiracy" thread. A lot of folks think you can put a good director, writer and some actors together and get a good "Star Wars film", and it's totally not true. You need someone who understands Star Wars' massive universe to it's core. I agree Filoni next to Lucas would be best at the job, however he's not at a producers level yet. We just have to hope Lucas is more involved than he says he is, which recently wasn't much.

    I'd honestly be surprised if he was at all sad about letting go of Star Wars.

    Memory serves me correct, I saw an interview with him that said when he released the Star Wars blu-ray and the changes that came with them, he received multiple death threats a day from anonymous, deranged fans threatening him and his family. Don't remember where I read it though, but that was pretty much the wording of it.

    Or you need a writer/director who is very well versed in the concepts of Joseph Campbell as well as the Star Wars universe.

    I've been furiously refreshing that page since it ticked over to Dec 3 in Australia.
    I've always concured with George's views on freedom and how they are ultimately lost. Despite the PT misgivings that was an extremely important message at the height of the terrorist scare.

    Though I was ultimately hoping they'd dish the dirt on the director.

    People are making way too much of these vids. It's just something they threw together from one discussion to give the fans something to look at until there's more real news. But SW fans can't ever allow themselves to enjoy anything for some reason. "There's gotta be a negative angle to this...go to it!"
