No wonder Ep. III was so good.
 
George lucas got some help from someone who actually knew a thing or two about directing. LOL

Quote:

George Lucas allowed his friend Steven Spielberg to design some of the action sequences, including Yoda's duel with Darth Sidious, and Obi-Wan's fight with General Grievous. Spielberg also consulted on other scenes, such as the climactic battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin.
I knew something was fishy. Let Spielberg direct episode -1, -2, and -3 they'll be smash hits!!!!

One of the most annoying things you do is post quotes without any links or anything that would lead us to believe the little news blips are anything more than your imagination. Could you please fix it?

I can verify that, I read it in my latest issue of GQ in the article about Hayden and Episode III. It also says in the article George actually had to reduce on one of Speilberg's ideas for the battle between Anakin and Obi Wan because it was so big.

oh, god, spielberg is the freaking man. I can't wait until war of the worlds.... spielberg has only ever let me down on the lost world....




funny fact: (spoiler for sith)














Samuel L. Jackson (Mace Windu) said he knew that he must die in this film, so he told George Lucas he would only do the film if Mace Windu goes out in a blaze of glory and not "like some sucka". On an American late-night talk show, he confirmed that he did indeed have a meaningful death scene; and he does not go out like "some punk".

Now all he needs to do is have someone write the dialogue for him.

Actually, during my second time through watching, I was actually wanting more from the battle between Vader and Obi-wan. It really didn't seem as epic as it could be. I wouldn't have minded if Spielberg's idea's panned out more.

That was almost exactly what I was going to say.

Spielberg did help. The false rumor was he was a co-director. He was not and both parties agree on that. At the time, Spielberg wasn't busy with anything so George flew an artist over to Spielberg so they could collaborate on ideas for certain scenes.

Well, if Lucas did allow someone to write the dialogue for him, it wouldn't have been the first time. Empire and ROTJ were both written by the very capable Lawrence Kasdan.

I think we'll all agree that Mr. Kasdan should have returned to write Episodes 1-3.

Certianly 2 and 3.


William Shakespeare couldn't have saved EP 1.

(Honestly as bad as the dialog is, it's compounded by the fact that Hayden Christensen can't act)

Edit: And please let's not get into a discussion about wheather or not shakespeare was actually a good writer.
