I love the comment asking whether fans have "so little faith in George." Yeah, I have faith in George. Faith that he'll fuck up anything he touches. Faith that given the choice, he'll take his own canon, twist it sideways, and have his way with its behind. Faith that if he makes a villain, he will have no respect for it whatsoever. Faith that he'll take something he thinks is "cute" and let it take over the plot, just so he has something to merchandise on Christmas. Faith in George? Yeah, got plenty of that.

	What gets me is people reacting like this is news. George has been fucking with his own canon since ESB came out. He's a hack writer with a talent for world buuilding and making things that look good. rolls eyes PS: Icon love OMG! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Star Wars fandom wank - nothing says "I care" as much as "he can't write and he can't direct actors for shit." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	telesilla 2004-08-06 03:10 am UTC (link)
	Hee! I mean really how can anyone think a director's all that and a bag of chips when he can make a movie that utterly wastes the considerable talents of Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson and Sam Jackson? And that's coming from someone who saw TPM 17 times in the theater. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	littlest_lurker 2004-08-06 03:37 am UTC (link)
	Heck, there's probably a group of Star Wars fans out there planning an intervention if Lucas decides to write or direct again after RotS. wishes she had saved the article she found in which Carrie Fisher said that the only direction Lucas gave the actors was "faster" and "more passionate".

	LOL! I remember her and Harrison Ford saying that--I think whichever one said it when I heard it it was "faster" and "more intense." They said they thought they should just get him a light board and he could just flash the red light for "faster" and the green one for "more intensely" so he wouldn't have to talk.

	Yes! That was it "more intense". They said they thought they should just get him a light board and he could just flash the red light for "faster" and the green one for "more intensely" so he wouldn't have to talk. XD (Reply to this)(Parent)

Is it this?

Carrie Fisher, Princess Leia in the original trilogy, has said that “When George was directing, he'd only say two things: 'faster' or 'more intense.'”

It's not the original interview, but damn, that's a great quote from Carrie Fisher, of all people.

And then there's this one, in which she says:

"It was the only time he gave me lengthy direction other then 'Faster, more intense.'"

There's so many snarky jokes to be made, yet I can't come up with a single one. Maybe that George Lucas would be far better off directing porn than Star Wars? That'll work for now.

	Yes, the first link is the exact article I read. I liked the suggestion of distracting Lucas, then locking him up and replacing him with a better writer and director. Mostly because I had suggested something similar to a friend after seeing Ep2. :D (although my plan involved distracting Lucas with some shiny computer graphics) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	The cut out of the Ewok celebration music? The Greedo thing was... odd, but any fit of creative remorse that results in less of the Ewok Tabernacle Choir is a good thing. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I had to sing the Ewok song in my school chorus one year. And, since I graduated in 1989, that meant I had to sing it in high school. Picture, if you will, a high school sophomore being forced to sing the words "Yub nub" over and over again. In public. And weep for me. ~GhilleDhu on LJ (Reply to this)(Parent)
