Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (2015) Discussion Thread

Spielberg and Ford both didn't want Indy to fight Aliens, but Lucus wouldn't shut the **** up about it. Steve flat out says this in the making of features.

The conversation went like this........

SS: Whats the maguffin going to be George.

GL: I want aliens Steven.

HF: You f@#$ing kidding George?

GL: I want ALIENS!

SS: George i did aliens in Close Encounters.

GL: But we can do time travelling aliens Steven.

HF: Cute aliens like the damn Ewoks?

SS: I did cute aliens in E.T. too.

GL: We'll have Indy fight some nasty Russians too.

HF: Ok George just as long as it isn't Jar Jar f#$@ing Binks

SS: What am i getting into now?

This movie is going to suck, in a non PT kind of way.

Yet went ahead and filmed it anyway.

Of course. That's what a good friend does.

That's what a weak bastard who caved does.

Hey, I never said Spielberg was strong.

But then again, if you had a persistent *** like Lucas sulking every time he didn't get his way, I dunno. I might just cave too.

Not really. He stood up to George with TLC.

He did, yes. But old age can play a factor into it.

But hey, I wasn't there. I can only speculate.

Spielberg was weak and caved. He's 33.333...% responsible for KOTCS. End of story.

Sure. But i'm still blaming Lucas because Spielberg has made better films in his long and amazing career. "

Also, Spielberg likes his fans too.

First 3 Star Wars, I'll even lump ROTS in there, first 3 Indy movies, American Graffiti, and Willow (if you're brave enough to admit it). When you look at George's resume and see that although it's short, most are in the top 100 grossing films of all time (maybe even top 50 - I didn't check), love him or hate him, that's a hell of an achievement. Add to that the incomparable ILM, THX, etc., and the man definitely has some outstanding accomplishments.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (2015) Discussion Thread

Half of those don't count. I'm talking strictly Lucas directed films.

THX 138

American Graffiti

Star Wars

Phantom Menace

Attack of the Clones

Revenge of the Sith.

Indy, and Willow are Lucas produced/written, but not Lucas directed.

Of course you'd talk "strictly directed," because it allows you to dilute the man's body of work.

Do you count Transformers as a Spielberg movie? Or Jurassic Park 3?

That's what I thought.

I'm not going to be baited like that. He knows the comparison was ridiculous.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (2015) Discussion Thread

Carrie, Ford and Hamill better have only sitting dialogue scenes, I don't know if i'm ready to accept them doing action scenes.

As it is I think Ford in Enders Game sits thru the entire movie.
