At his best, George Lucas remains unbeatable as a storyteller. The way he structures films is incredible - some of the dialogue is what it is but the actual construction of the story mechanics is bulletproof. Even for the handful of effects that don’t quite hold up, the ambition behind those...

If that had wound up being the last Star Wars anything, and that was not an insignificant chance it would have been that at the time, I would have been satisfied. I was so excited going into that midnight showing and I still remember how exhilarated I felt walking out of the theater. There’s all...

Still my favorite SW anything. I will go to my grave saying that George knocked it out of the park with that one.

Didn’t Skoll have a line of dialogue to his apprentice about how the Jedi and the Sith were in a cyclical battle, something about how empires rise and fall and the whole thing just repeats again and again, and that it was his aim to put a stop to that endless cycle? I don’t think his ultimate...

All they need to do is get QT and RR to do a two part premiere and we’ve got Grindhouse!

Not that it won’t be worth it in the end, but the wait time for these shows is brutal. They basically did a back door pilot with her appearance in Mandalorean, and then there’s a three year wait for, what, six or eight episodes? Yikes.
