Naïve Old Fart 9,507 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 It comes back to what Steef says: emotional investment, Vs actual investment. Lucas was fully compensated by the empire, but in the public eye, he'll always be the "owner " of SW.How many children are worth $4 billion, Woj?

A24 4,326 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Perhaps Wojo doesn't know what it is to have children or personal brainchilds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,647 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 George Lucas hasn't seen the trailer; not interested in where the series is going.Doing more SW films on his own was his plan?Oh dear lord, would I have loved to see that massive failure.Lucas had talked to the Big Three before the sale to Disney, and his outlines/story for a new trilogy was part of the Disney sale. How much of Lucas' original story remains after the writing and rewriting process, who knows, but he had worked on them at some point.The meat of the story is "I didn't watch the trailer. I'm waiting to see it in theaters." That's it - not much of a story, really. Everything else in that linked article is stuff we already know/have heard, just rephrased and made to sound newsworthy/sensational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I've heard enough about the great George Lucas. I don't know who writes your history books or where you get your information from, but you people got some pretty funny ideas about me. You all look at me as if I'm some kind of...saint, or visionary or something. You wanna know what my vision is? Dollar signs! Money! I didn't make these films to usher in a new era for cinema. I made these films so that I could retire to some tropical island...filled with...naked women. That's George Lucas! That's his vision! This other guy you keep talking about, this...historical figure? I never met him. I can't imagine I ever will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
