[QUOTE="The Serge, post: 2105903, member: 4049"] At the expense of sounding like a broken record, I'll offer my thoughts. Let's remember who we're dealing with here. We're dealing with George "Doesn't know anything about human drama" Lucas who draws an improper parallel in describing emotional content. I suspect that a more appropriate comparison would have been with [i]Return of the King[/i] or [i]The Wrath of Khan[/i] in which there's plenty of heart felt, powerful emotional content driven by human elements. That's what he probably means (but doesn't know how or decided not [see below] to say) given the nature of this story. It's not a romance (that was the last film... sort of... Well, should have been), but the dark chapter that heralds the fall of the Republic. Also, consider that he wants people to rush to see this film. Bringing up [i]Titanic[/i] is an excellent way to raise eyebrows even if it's a poor comparision. 'Course, he may (and probably is) shooting himself in the foot since I doubt that this film will have the same emotional impact - melodramatic though it may have been - as even [i]Titanic[/i] much less like my other examples.
