re: George Lucas Explains Why He's Done Directing Star Wars Movies

But it didn't come out until a book was released in 2007? This sounds like George rewriting history and trying to tie his new shitty idea to his older good ideas to give it credibility. frick him.

Man, is he that clueless?

I still say George was a victim of his own success and the Giant it had become. I don't think there was anyone that could go up to George and say "Um. No. Lets think about this some more." Not even Spielberg, who no matter what he says I don't believe for a moment 'nuking the fridge' was his idea.

George literally became the the sale Tommy was talking about in this scene in Tommy Boy.

He is the one that came up with the whole idea, and Midichlorians were there the whole time. He didn't suddenly come up with this for the prequels. So if you hate the idea of midichlorians, then hate the whole notion of the force.

The notion of the Force is an awesome notion. So awesome, that just explaining it away by some biological presence is just such a lame concept. Again, it doesn't matter if he thought of it in 1977 or for the prequels. It's still a bad idea.

I'm using this as a sig quote so my hatred will keep me warm.

Just because the concept was in his mind in 1977, doesn't mean it's not a lame concept.

Basically, it makes the jedi no different than the x-men.

It wasn't gobbledygook in the OG series.

If it makes you feel better to think of it that way, then by all means do so.
