George Lucas hates Force Awakens

Lucas can't lie. Can't hate the guy.

>>85644822
>Can't hate the guy.
He made the prequels

>>85644574

>So it's a thumbs up from you?


HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH?

he stopped caring about these movies when he was still making them himself, why would he care enough to have an opinion on the new ones.

>>85644867
Did I stutter motherfucker?

GOITRE

>>85645126
>trusting Lucas's shitty ideas after the prequel shitshow

How much would Star Wars be worth now if somebody wantes to buy it from Disney?

>>85645199
Good question. Disney is still gonna cash big time even with major turds like 8 and Han Solo. But for how long?

>>85645199
less than what they paid for it
lucas made 3 movies and 3 bad. a 50/50 split
lucas added two bad movies and now the franchise is 62.5% shit

>>85644574
>I think the fans will love it
>It's getting good reviews
Lucas confirmed for knowing the modern star wars fanbase is full of pleb manchildren

>>85645248
I don't think that's how it works.

>>85645192
As if Disney is doing any better

>>85645300
Star wars has always been mainstream shit for children

>>85644574
SORRY LUCAS

>>85645199
>>85645322
What few people ever talk about is that the Force Awakens underperformed.
Disney was expecting/certain of breaking the all-time box-office record held by Avatar with that film. And it came up a billion dollars short.

It's not talked about cause it's still like the third-highest grossing film ever or something. But they were aiming for number one.
Something to bear in mind

>>85645199
The rights to the merch alone are worth 10s of billions. Disney doesn't care about the movies as long as they keep pumping them out so they're constantly in the public consciousness.

>>85644867
and your mom had more black dick in her than urinals in the Apollo theater, but you still love her.

>>85645394
And The Last Jedi will make even less money because there won't be nostalgia factor involved

>>85645413
But Disney didn't buy rights for merchandise.

>>85645394
These fuckers could have made gold with the franchise, you're starting with the old cast reunited and can basically build a whole new saga. Maybe 6 or 9 sequels directly. But instead they went for the most retarded reboot with social engineering and shit.
This is what happens when you give a studio to a failed secretary obsessed with her vagina.

>>85644875
This

>>85645394
It's amazing that even for all the hype it had it still fell short

>>85644867
>He made the prequels

Perfectly fine Star Wars movies

Wonder what made him give up his baby to Disney, heard some people say it might have been a blackmail thing, only fact we know is that he's donating the $4B from it to charity.

>>85645463
Wait, they don't own merchandise?

>>85645394
Rogue One did less than half. The Last Jedi will probably be doing in that range aswell. They had their shot and they fucking blew it on Kathleen Kennedy's ass feminist agenda.

>>85644867
Who cares. He has done many positive things to movies beyond children's space operas.

>>85645331
It might be the same shitty movie but the fucking prequels are horrendous story telling. I don't give a shit about the "its for kid", there are still far better movies for kids. Prequels are shit and the hipster apologists are terrible.

>>85645394
Third place definitely isn't good. They paid 4 billion. Even if the next movies make 300 million in profit each, they have to make a dozen before the money is made back. The merch might make up for all that, but disney fucked this one good.

>>85645463
Proof? All the toys are branded disney.

>>85645605

>that pic

I guarantee you can do the same thing with TLJ and ESB.

>>85645331
Uh yeah I'd say terrible rehashes that are boring are leagues ahead of slow political drama/cartoon comedy featuring chris rock as a rabbit/contrived love story about sand

>>85645605
I wonder how long Disney is gonna keep Kathleen Kennedy around.

>>85644574
everything lucas touches is shit. the empire strikes back was the only good star wars, and he didnt direct it
yes i know RotJ wasnt directed by him either but it was still shit

>>85645758
I think Bob Iger (Disney CEO) has to live next year. Eventually Kathleen Kennedy will be removed when the new CEO is designated.

Imagine how he feels.

Selling his baby. His creation. Then seeing the series get cucked by Disney and fags eat it up.

Just imagine. He probably sits at home crying with his millions of dollars knowing now he can't do shit as Disney whores out his creation to whiney man children.

>>85645605
kek

>>85645758
Depends on how well the next movies does.
VIII might do okaysh, but I doubt the Han Solo movie will go well

>>85645192
Lucas is the heart and soul of Star Wars. Where he fucked up with the prequels was surrounding himself with yesmen.

>>85645632
Well, I believe that Disney will now be collecting all the profits that the franchise was regularly pulling in from before Disney bought it, which will help. That said, I'm glad to see the franchise underperforming financially, if it really is.

>>85645777
he co-wrote the screenplay

>>85644574

He should make an indie lowish budget space opera not-Star Wars.

It'd be kek worthy for many reasons.

>>85645561
the prequels are garbage you contrarian hipster

At least Lucas tried to push technology and tell a diffrent story.

Has the apologetics started for the prequels?

>>85645836
It's billions not millions. But I can only imagine his face while watching the early screening at his private ranch theater with JJ sitting next to him, waiting for an endorsement that never came.

They really shouldn't have thrown away his sequel trilogy ideas, instead they should have refined them.

Basically how the ot was made

>>85645248
It doesn't work like that. What makes the worth is how much SW movies and other merchandise makes and it has easily more valuable at the moment than it was when Lucas owned it.

>>85645941

Nah

They're perfectly serviceable for what they are; a space opera of the galactic strife and quasi-religious Force events that leads up to the OT.

Could they be done better? Sure.

Are they workable? Yes.

>>85646031

In comparison to TFA:

>It's a copy and paste of ANH
>Mary Sue
>Zero world building and/or explanations

>>85645993
Kathleen Kunt Kennedy thinks she knows better that this senile fuck whom she managed to abduct the babies. She thought the Hero's journey is like the Coca-Cola receipe. You put cheaper versions of the original ingredients and it will deliver the OT again.

>hamil hates it
>lucas hates it

fucking lol

>>85645993
What were they?

>>85645890
Me too. Can't believe they did a third fucking death star.

Somewhere out there are the scripts for the real sequel trilogy

>>85646460
That's not true. He had a lot of investment, he wrote the story and just didn't direct it because he had to run Lucasfilm at the same time. And just like for the prequels, he had full control on ESB.

>>85644574
>Says he had a great time
>Gives it a thumbs up
Yeah, he must hate the film.

>>85645836
If I was Lucas, I think I would have waited until I was about to die before I sold it.

Do you think he made the real sequels in secret? Releasing them after his death.

About tree fiddy

>>85646737
Disney aren't that crazy. They know she's a worthless cunt, she'll never get CEO of Disney. The only reason she is head of Lucasfilm is that George choosed her to make the deal with Disney and then had the bad idea to name her president.

>>85646853
That's before she betrayed him. She revealed her hand too quickly, they're all onto her now.

>>85647140
And made an insane amount of money in the process.

>>85644574
He just cut and paste his original ideas into another movie, how could he possibly like what he did?

>>85645248
There's this invention called money you should look into regarding the value of the IP

Reminder that the best Star Wars episodes were those not directed by Lucas.

>>85645890
Disney can make a tremendous amount of money by releasing fully restored editions of the theatrical releases of the original three movies.

Disney will only sell those movies as a set of nine movies (the trilogy trilogy) so we'll need to wait until after The Last Jedi and the subsequent movie are released. Disney will then only sell the movies as a bundle of all media types: VHS, laser disc, DVD, Blu-ray, and digital. The cost for the set will be $300.

A year or two later, Disney will sell a deluxe collector's edition of the set for $500 by adding some behind the scenes material and a booklet.

After that, Disney will get the suckers to buy the set yet again by finally releasing a 4K edition of the set.

And, unbelievable, a year or two after that, Disney will rope everyone in again with a 4K ultimate edition.

All said and done, Disney will squeeze out over $1,000 from the Star Wars crazies who will buy the various sets.

>>85644867
They were better than this disney shit, if you took jarjar out most of them would be fine.

Disney don't sell brands

>>85645561
Fuck off pube, you wasn't there when prequel shit hit the trilogy fans like bricks.

>>85644574
Can't blame him.

TFA was awful and represents everything George hates about modern hollywood. rehashing. unoriginal and no creativity also pandering garbage too.

> sold a 100 billion cinematic universe for 2

I would be bitter too

>>85648593
How do you know that, they followed the formula only in TFA, and after the backlash, they reshot many scenes for RO. I mean, i get your point but give them at least a little bit of time to react and adjust, they aren't that stupid.

>>85644574
Star Wars sucks ass period. Whoever makes one the whole series is complete crap. I always thought it was like they filmed their kids toys, Lego's, or erector sets. Bad costumes and special effects. Star Trek both tv and movies were far superior.

star wars was a happy accident, it was saved in editing by his vastly more talented wife. ESB was him gearing up with money and talented people who cared about making a good product. ROTJ is where the cracks start to show. The prequel disaster was him unleashing his autism on the world with no controls, he was also getting older and clearly didnt put in the effort to make them exceptional.

TFA is a disgustingly awful movie, so was rogue one.

The series will keep liberals happy with the diversity but they are shitty movies.

>>85646718
It's funny how none of the Disney figures sell.

>>85644574
So did everyone else. Mark Hamil, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Samuel L Jackson, James Cameron, Pablo and loads of others.

>>85648879
They are making a han solo movie for fuck sake. they care about nothing except money. they will pander to your nostalgia.
they know their main demographic is cucked white guys who will watch it no matter what. they'll add in a few women and black guys to bring in that crowd and just shit out the same generic movies every year until star wars is dead. EP3 was the last actual star wars film.

>>85647140
We got the three originals. There was nowhere to go but down after that, and even more so after the prequels. He's a millionaire from his teen fiction, so.

>>85645561
fuck off

I dont know, in the TLJ behind the scenes reel they kind of underlined that the story will be different/shocking, so theres some form of recognition concerning the criticism, of course they could be lying but im keeping my hopes up. And btw i hate that Disney is trying to make their viewership more racist/sexist, before TFA I didnt even pay attention to how many women/blacks are in the movie.

Lucas has always been terrible without a filter for his ideas.

>>85649385
>make viewership more racist/sexist
they're not trying to. they are pandering and are trying to make you think that is normal. uncucked white males obviously will not fall for this though and actually turns them away.

>>85648325

He's not contrarian. He's an underage fag who's first intro to Star Wars was most likely the garbage prequels.

I cant await the first big budged Movie that moves away from politics

>/tv/ still this fucking triggered by tfa
Will the butthurt ever stop? Will the autists here ever seek help for their mental illness?

>>85646582
He wrote cliff-notes and signed cheques. Trying to hype up Lucas's involvement in ESB is to downplay the importance of Lawrence Kasdan and Irvin Kershner, without whom the film would not be what it is.

>>85649938
So not liking TFA is a sign that i have autism?

>>85645394
No they weren't.
Bob Iger was even saying this back in August 2015.

>>85649753
Current event politics at least. When the polical climate reflex the world of the movie instead of ours it can work. Look at the Republic from the PT. They made it a more corrupt and disfuncsional body then our own senate. Billions of worlds and all of them including corporations have to come to a consensus. George new what he was doing.

>>85648431
Prequels were always shit. The only goods parts are good ol' Sheevie and unintentional humour.

>>85645192
I saw ep. 7 in theaters and that was enough. I can watch the prequels every year and still get enjoyment out of them. I'll take schlock with heart over soulless """quality""" every second of every day.

Star wars almost singlehandedly destroy movies. Who fucking cares how he sprinkle the cgi.

>>85649228
At least, they are visually completely different and set in different time and space. I also heard it was Dancing with Wolves, so you have to make up your mind. The Disney Star Wars are set in the same universe with characetrs of the OT coming back for what should have been a sequel but was revealed as the lamest rehash ever made. TFA is on the same league as the Fembusters. They used the exact same formula, a sheboot, with the old cast doing lame cameos that ruins their character to shoehorn the new girls.

>>85644574
