Lucas reflected on his life in work in a wide-ranging chat in Cannes, where he received and honorary Palm d’Or.
Absolutely - more about Midichlorians, I say!
The new trilogy ended so horribly… I can’t even bring myself to rewatch them. They were just really bad overall, which is a shame because the first one had a lot of promise. Rey being a Jedi that wasn’t fully “light side” would have been so inspired.
Ideas like “midichlorians”? Good riddance then.
I don’t hate the idea of midichlorians, honestly. Or rather, I do hate them but I think that’s the point - to show that the jedi have kind of lost their way, are judging everything by “midichlorian counts” and tried to standardise and automate the process as much as possible rather than properly considering the human element and doing things on a case-by-case basis. If it’s not the point then, well… it should be.
I think there are some decent ideas in the prequel trilogy, I just think the execution was pretty bad.
Agreed. The same way I disliked how whiny Anakin was but it made sense in context that Vader was this emotionally stunted kid with a traumatic childhood he couldn’t get over.
Yes, meesa thinks.
They got Lost the moment he fucked with them in 97
