Thank George Lucas?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

What are you? His therapist?
Er yeah? :lurk:

Seriously. He was divorced basically on the grounds of not wanting to give his wife a good seeing to. He had never been in another relationship and hates and forbids any sexual undertones in his films.

What else can you conclude?
Now that story about him and the prostitutes that I never heard the end of begins to make more sense...


edit: although, hang on, isn't one of his kids like 11 or something? The boy, Jett.
Yes.
Jett Lucas.

Oh, and after reading thon making of ROTS book, seems that people should rather be thanking Rick McCallum and all the guys in the art department and the chief guys in the CG department, who seemed to come up with all the ideas for the scenes, what happens in them, the order in which they should go in the film, pretty much all the characters, planets, races, vehicles...everything 'new' really, and made sure the film actually got made despite Lucas' best attempts to not actually do any work and spend all his time dicking about.
Well, not exactly *dicking* about, now, come to think of it...

When George Lucas Sr asked his son to join him in the art-supply business, George Jr said, "Dad, today you're going to do exactly what you did yesterday, and tomorrow the same. This is your life and you love it. But I only want to do something once." Discuss.
:lol:
Yeah, and he`s been doing the same thing ever since.

Don`t get me wrong, I LOVE SW, I just hate Lucas, because he`s quite willing to take the credit for things he hasn`t done. Like everything he`s ever done. I hate Tarantino for the same reasons.

When was he divorced?
During Return of the Jedi. Never had a relationship since. His ex-wife often sited and implied Lucas had no intreaste in sex and creating 'adult' relationships with women .

Hence his seeming emotionaly cold feel to his films and the fact the love story in AotC is so basic as to be missunderstood by the author who then takes from Mills and Boon thinking it is a good guide to relationships. Lucas got Spielberg to make Return of the Sith ring true emotionally and act as a consultant.

The RotJ outfit was a one off and directed by somebody else. Lucas is famous for hating boobs on Leia.
Where did you find this out? I'm not insinuating it's not ture, it just sounds like an interesting read. I swear my ex-girlfriend had the same attitude... but in a man, it's just weird.

I guess that was sexist.

Go watch the bonus disk from the indy trilogy, the man could turn bore anything.
Funny enough, in real life Harrison Ford has been noted to be incredably dull in interviews yet he eats up the screen.

basically any bio of lucas or 70's directors. His wife has gone on record several times.
I recall an Empire interview with him a few years ago where they describe Lucas as strange and sad figure. His Skywalker ranch is heis dream home yet the stain glass window which is the homes masterpiece was built by the man who Lucas' wife had an affair with and left Lucas for.
