I am a film buff. I saw Star Wars in theatre in the original release and all the re-releases. I`ve read all the books and seen all the interviews, yadda...yadda...yadda. The two things that stick out in my memory from reading it so many times was how when you were younger Mr. Lucas you got on your soap box and decreed how you were not going to follow in your father’s footsteps and take over the family business or become a `suit`:angry. We all know about your life altering car crash, aka. Bob Falfa, etc. :eek
Well since you have become exactly what you claimed you didn`t want to become...a Corporate suit, (yeah so what your suit is blue jeans and plaid work shirts, you are still a suit my friend), well, ok...things happen in life so we will all kinda forgive you for taking the Anakin route, and YES you ARE ANAKIN! Lord of your Empire`. Fine. You get one free-bee. But what about all that talk about you being a filmmaker wanting to make small personal films....It is 2011 now and I am still waiting for your `personal little film(s)`that you have been talking about all these years. Is it a question of money....can`t be that. :confused American Graffiti and its sequel, they made money. Your next film, what was it called again...oh yeah...Space Wars...no that `s not it.....hummm. STAR WARS! Yeah that`s it. STAR WARS. That made money... from what I heard anyway. You had five other films that carried on the same story as I recall. They all made money, that`s what the papers reported anyway. Then there was that 1930`s serial film that also made money. Three sequels followed as I recall. So....funding can`t be an issue Georgie-boy. When are we gonna see some of these `small personal` films you have always droned on about making! Oh wait...what am I talking about... there was HOWARD THE DUCK. Yes, a small little independent film about the life cycle of a foul-mouthed cigar smoking mallard...who wasn`t THAT foul-mouthed as I recall. I remember that making the Indie film circuit. Filmmaker magazine called it the years best low budget indie sleeper hit. Yes..wait... how can we forget WILLIOW. A documentary about Little People who were born too late to get parts in THE WIZARD OF OZ and starred that future Jim Morrison guy. Yeah. But wait a minute, you didn`t direct those. Opie from the Andy Griffith Show directed the midget one after his acting career hit the skids cause he started going bald and he bought warehouses of baseball caps. You must`ve directed those small personal films since the 1970`s till now. Someone help me out here. I don`t get the National Geographic Channel so I must`ve missed the many documentaries Georgie directed since he became Anakin and could easily bank roll his own friggin Death Star. :angel
