Lynk Former Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Lucas himself admitted pretty explicitly in an interview conducted by Christopher Nolan that he knew nothing of story and didn't even like the idea of storytelling in cinema because he felt that it was cinema trying to be other mediums when the forte of cinema was its visuals. (video of that interview is the first one on the slide show at the bottom of the page) It's too late now, but what Lucas always needed in his career was another Kershner type figure to work with who could temper his visual storytelling with their character storytelling.

Prime Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Yup, Kurtz and Kershner pretty much hijacked TESB.And because of that I do love it so. But I think Lucas does get beat on too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynk Former Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 http://www.slashfilm.com/geroge-lucas-says-empire-strikes-back-was-the-worst-star-wars-movie/ lol, wonder if this is actually real. (that link is from 2007 btw so it's nothing new, but it does go along with what's been said in the thread recently.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm pretty sure it's real, or at least has some basis in reality anyway. I think there are a number of reasons why Lucas wouldn't like ESB. Aside from the opening Hoth sequence, ESB is really low on action compared to the other 5 films. It's far more character focused, which really isn't Lucas's thing. Plus the whole Kirsh thing (which is probably the only reason it worked out - imagine Lucas directing....). Of course later on he did attempt to bring it more in line with his vision for the series: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 George is just butthurt because TESB is the best film of the saga only because he had the least creative control over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
