Lucas: not interested in making blockbuster movies Put an end to popups!

I tell you, money doesn't matter, it is all about the story. Read here:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Mov...g.ap/index.html

quote:
The PG-13 rating carries the alert "parents strongly cautioned" that some material could be inappropriate for those younger than 13.

"We're getting a lot of flak from parents, a lot of people saying how can you do this? My children love these movies. Why can you not let them go see it?" Lucas told The Associated Press in a recent interview. "But I have to tell a story. I'm not making these, oddly enough, to be giant, successful blockbusters. I'm making them because I'm telling a story, and I have to tell the story I intended."


I think it was all about the story in the previous episodes as well, we just didn't realize it.

well he only has himself to blame, after talking with Speilburg before the making of Return of the Jedi, the rot had already set in.
So in a way those parents are right - Lucas should stick to making kids star wars movies, you cant go back to the Empire strikes back after ja ja bl**dy binks

Increase Your PM Length

George Lucas has averaged a quarter-billion in income per year since the re-release of Star Wars back in 1997. He and about 15-20 other "artists" of various stripes make CEOs look almost impoverished.

That's two billion dollars in income (which does not include asset appreciation.)

One of life's little lessons: when they say "It's not about the money", it's about the money.

God, Star Wars is so f*cking bad, what is wrong with you people.

The story line is weak, the acting is terrible, and the special effects are overdone.

It may've been impressive in '77, but it's weak now.

However, the sex scene in the X-rated version is between Anakin and Palpatine. Enjoy!
