Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vigilance" data-source="post: 2106977" data-attributes="member: 4275">I keep seeing these references to the fact that "Lucas needs less control", "Lucas is a twis", "Lucas is the weakest link", "Someone needs to tell Lucas he's wrong".So let me get this straight... the man tells us half of a great story, and in the process creates a universe people will be fascinated with 100 years from now, AND in the process of that changes the way movies are made (Lucas and ILM revolutionized FX forever).Now he's telling us the first half of the story, ON HIS OWN DIME.Let me reiterate that, because to me, its a huge deal. He could have studio backing for this film. Heck any studio would jump at the chance to make these movies. But he has paid for every dime of every prequel himself.But he needs to take a backseat and let someone else run the show?Uh-huh. And maybe after that we can tell him what color to paint his house and get him to shave his head, and then maybe pick out what colleges his kids will attend. I have no problem with people saying the movies suck, although to me the films have all been of a kind (great fight scenes and FX, simple story) except for Empire Strikes Back.But, to take it to the next level and say the man shouldn't run his own show, a show he created, seems pretty ass backwards to me. If someone paints their house blue, walking up to them and saying "you should have painted it green" is a little silly. Chuck</blockquote>
