I just saw Lucas talk about this. He was in an interview with the woman that ruined his series. He talked about how a politician turns authoritarian over time. This process has been repeated many times in history. Starwars was his warning of those types of things. Like 1984 or Animal Farm.
We are on a bell curve. Over time each of the probable outcomes must happen.
That's interesting. He was/is also Hollywierd, so there's no doubt he's been exposed to the dark side.
I'm suspicious of Lucas, but he has long been critical of corporatist Hollywood. He talks about how in the 70s there was a lot of space for independent directors in Hollywood, and then big corporations came in in the 80s and started making MK Ultra/formulaic crap.
Not sure why he would sell to Disney of all companies, but Star Wars was and is a massive cash cow and propaganda tool, maybe there was an offer he couldn't refuse?
An offer like take the $$ and walk away, and no one gets hurt?
That kind of offer?
Lucas could just be in it for the money. Or he might be a true artist, but I'm not so sure. Anyone who knows anything about the music industry knows that there are many artists who are poor, but the record labels made 100's of millions on those same artists. So yeah, the entertainment industry is corrupt and rotten to the core.
No need for hostility. Yes that is obviously possible, but he did also call Disney white slavers on CBS, so it's a little strange that he would sell his iconic IP to that same company.
There's a lot of ways powerful people make threats to get what they want.
In any case, you are right - he sold out. What surprised me is how much Lucas seemed to treat SW movies like his babies. He redid the later releases, and he changed scenes to be more politically correct - I saw many complaints over all of that. And then he lets go of it all.
"It has happened before and will happen again."
"Beets! Bears! Battlestar Galactica!"
Needs clarification... Rey? The long-necked Jurassic Park chick? The chubby -faced asian chick who can somehow fly faster than a stormtrooper and shank him sideways?
Kathleen Kennedy his 'peer' at Disney.
Han still shot first.
Now that pic just makes me think of Feinstein🐸
Now that you mention it....
A senator!
Go read about him, he helped fund Obama library and was a huge Hillary supporter in 16.
"So this is how democracy dies...to thunderous applause"
That would be the raucous minority.
