Title: Re: Disney buying Lucasfilm... Post by: rab2591 on November 18, 2012, 10:55:53 AM Star Wars went from a movie made by a kid (at least in spirit), to a series made for kids.
It only makes sense Disney would take over. smh. Title: Re: Disney buying Lucasfilm... Post by: Jason on November 18, 2012, 11:05:04 AM If Disney does with Star Wars what they're doing with Pirates of the Caribbean and the Marvel franchise by just bankrolling the stuff, we might be ok.
Lucas gave the $4 billion to charity. Rich white men are so greedy. Title: Re: Disney buying Lucasfilm... Post by: rab2591 on November 18, 2012, 11:12:39 AM After the travesty of Episode II, the Star Wars franchise has nowhere to go but up haha
Lucas has said he'll have no direct part of these films: He's not writing or directing, just giving ideas. Who knows if that's good or bad... Title: Re: Disney buying Lucasfilm...

Who knows if that's good or bad... The best Star Wars films were the ones that Lucas neither wrote nor directed. Title: Re: Disney buying Lucasfilm...

Who knows if that's good or bad... The best Star Wars films were the ones that Lucas neither wrote nor directed. True, though the screenplay/story for 'A New Hope' is my favorite in the Star Wars series. Title: Re: Disney buying Lucasfilm... Post by: Mike's Beard on November 18, 2012, 12:47:53 PM Rank the Star Wars movies.
A New Hope - 9 Empire Strikes Back - 8.5 Jedi - 7 (It was going great 'till the Ewoks appeared) Phantom Menace - 3 Attack of The Clones - 4.5 Sith - 7.5 Title: Re: Disney buying Lucasfilm... Post by: Alan Smith on November 18, 2012, 01:35:24 PM Empire - 9.5 - I think it's the closest to achieving Lucas's goal of recreating classic cinema + good stuff to plentiful to list
New Hope - 9 - cool! Jedi - 7.5 - probably the best of the rejigged versions, but the ewoks erode the potential gravitas The new films - sigh; while they all have some visually redeeming factors (action sequences, yoda light sabre blah blah, the chick in the background of the opera house staircase scene in Sith) we're talking a collective pile of shi*, I'll offer a combined total of 3 and a shake of my sorry head Title: Re: Disney buying Lucasfilm... Post by: rab2591 on November 18, 2012, 04:11:46 PM Empire Strikes Back: 10 (the Asteroid scene is worth 9 of these points)
A New Hope: 9.5 Return of the Jedi: 8 Phantom Menace: 7 (okay, Jar Jar ruined this movie, but the podrace and end battle were done in a tasteful Star Wars style) Revenge of the Sith: 6 Attack of the Clones: .5 (yes: .5 -- 1 and a half hours of the Padme and Anakin soap opera, with 8 minutes of Clone Wars action at the end...utterly terrible) Title: Re: Disney buying Lucasfilm... Post by: Alan Smith on November 18, 2012, 11:05:32 PM Attack of the Clones: .5 (yes: .5 -- 1 and a half hours of the Padme and Anakin soap opera, with 8 minutes of Clone Wars action at the end...utterly terrible) You are a generous chap, Rab.
