[QUOTE="Gizzard, post: 169700, member: 527"] Here's the opening paragraph from the Time article about Lucas. [I]Maybe George Lucas ought to get out more. For the past three years, as he ruled his multimedia empire from the palatial redoubt of Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, Calif., Lucas has dwelt in the lovely dream that his 1999 Star Wars movie, Episode I—The Phantom Menace, was universally loved. Lately, though, inquiring journalists have slapped him awake. "I'm getting my education now from the press," he says. "They come in and say, 'Wow. People hated your movie. What do you think about that?'" [/I] It doesnt sound like he learned anything; certainly not anything in time to affect the making of the Clone movie. (Heres the URL if you wanna read the whole thing. [url]http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101020429/story.html[/url] ) And if that doesnt convince you, how about this: [I]Lucas blames the anti-Jar Jar sentiment on "37-year-old guys who spend all their time on the Internet. [/I] Hmmmph! I'll have you know I am only 36! :-) But, really, the point is that Jar-Jar was a horrible idea, you dont have to be over 35 to notice how he disrupts every scene he is in. But to Lucas, he's a fine idea dragged down by a bunch of internet nerds. How Ayn Rand. But, in any case, this is all speculation until the movie comes out. I wont be going to see it until it gets some decent reviews from friends, but I'm kinda hopeful, I keep hearing how this movie will be better than the first one. But I'm also kinda cynical. No one wields the hype machine like a movie studio promoting its summer blockbusters, so I try to take these little tidbits with a grain of salt. [/QUOTE]
