mixed emotions I I didn't see it coming

00:02:04
◼
►
would keep a stranglehold on star wars
[TS]
00:02:07
◼
►
until he died basically yeah and-and-and
[TS]
00:02:11
◼
►
Moore was killed for me as well that
[TS]
00:02:14
◼
►
would lead to he would be dead he would
[TS]
00:02:16
◼
►
die if he was killed was convicted in
[TS]
00:02:18
◼
►
the People vs George Lucas that's right
[TS]
00:02:20
◼

now i'm still waiting for everybody but
[TS]
00:02:22
◼
►
you did the death penalty mm I don't
[TS]
00:02:25
◼
►
know you know I wasn't so surprised that
[TS]
00:02:27
◼
►
the acquisition happened in fact damn
[TS]
00:02:30
◼
►
was the person who told me about it I
[TS]
00:02:31
◼
►
want to watch list feliz oh well it's
[TS]
00:02:35
◼
►
going on and you told me through osmosis
[TS]
00:02:39
◼
►
I when I look tan originally I'm like no
[TS]
00:02:42
◼
►
you know what this makes a lot of sense
[TS]
00:02:43
◼
►
because Disney and Lucasfilm have long
[TS]
00:02:46
◼
►
been integrated with the disney parks
[TS]
00:02:48
◼
►
and everything else I'm and George Lucas
[TS]
00:02:50
◼
►
has been mentioning and rumbling for a
[TS]
00:02:52
◼
►
couple years now that oh he's tired of
[TS]
00:02:54
◼
►
making films and he's tired of the
[TS]
00:02:56
◼
►
community and he really doesn't want to
[TS]
00:02:57
◼
►
be a part of it anymore and he wants to
[TS]
00:02:59
◼
►
retire so I'm like all right you know
[TS]
00:03:01
◼
►
like I can see it I can see him selling
[TS]
00:03:04
◼
►
I can see him retiring and then I saw
[TS]
00:03:08
◼
►
the new Star Wars movie in 2015 and
[TS]
00:03:11
◼
►
that's when my mind exploded
[TS]
00:03:13
◼
►
yeah i pasted that into and I am to Dan
[TS]
00:03:15
◼
►
and he said something like what is this
[TS]
00:03:18
◼
►
likely he was is this some sort of money
[TS]
00:03:21
◼
►
joke about this
[TS]
00:03:22
◼
►
no not it's not even very funny i spent
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
all day say like all afternoon going
[TS]
00:03:27
◼
►
what what is happening what is going on
[TS]
00:03:29
◼
►
right now I don't understand it's very
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
confusing part of me is like using you
[TS]
00:03:35
◼
►
know I i remember hearing when I was
[TS]
00:03:38
◼
►
younger you know like a teenager about
[TS]
00:03:39
◼
►
like all the all yeah somebody's gonna
[TS]
00:03:42
◼
►
make 789 after he makes the prequels
[TS]
00:03:44
◼
►
blah blah blah always seems like you
[TS]
00:03:46
◼
►
know forever you know that was that was
[TS]
00:03:48
◼
►
just something in the distant future and
[TS]
00:03:50
◼
►
then later on older I got he denied it
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►
like now I'm never gonna make those are
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
done and you know we got we got lulled
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
into a false sense of security
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
it's a trap
[TS]
00:04:01
◼
►
I heard those same stories about 70 and
[TS]
00:04:04
◼
►
i need to i was a kid which was far in
[TS]
00:04:06
◼
►
all the old people that he asked that's
[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
been around forever it's like you're
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
right after Jedi to know they're gonna
[TS]
00:04:10
◼
►
make one two and three and seven eight
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
nine and there's a lava pit in like just
[TS]
00:04:15
◼
►
the whole mind yards with its we just
[TS]
00:04:18
◼
►
you know that i don't know i think small
[TS]
00:04:20
◼
►
true John it's altered true to keep true
[TS]
00:04:24
◼
►
but it's like a month but it's like a
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
monkey paw story we're like you get what
[TS]
00:04:28
◼
►
you wish but it's like terrible chamblee
[TS]
00:04:31
◼
►
liked me what you're doing you're like
[TS]
00:04:33
◼
►
no monkey paw please no more I I mean
[TS]
00:04:38
◼
►
Lucas himself said I feel like there's
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►
an interview for five years ago where
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
he's like oh no I'm never gonna do 789
[TS]
00:04:45
◼
►
because the extended universe all of the
[TS]
00:04:47
◼
►
novels and the video games and
[TS]
00:04:49
◼
►
everything else I've already touched on
[TS]
00:04:50
◼
►
that and i'm content playing in my one
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
through six you know sandbox of terror
[TS]
00:04:56
◼
►
and destruction
[TS]
00:04:57
◼
►
I honestly when they said oh we're going
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
to make Episode seven my first thought
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
beyond WTF was what on earth is it going
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
to be about the unless they recast it
[TS]
00:05:11
◼
►
they're either going to eight storylines
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
from the extended universe or they're
[TS]
00:05:14
◼
►
going to do something else and d
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
canonize the entire extended universe
[TS]
00:05:19
◼
►
but they can't possibly use the same
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
actors right well mean so there's a
[TS]
00:05:23
◼
►
story now there's a story on
[TS]
00:05:25
◼
►
starwars.com but why I think some sort
[TS]
00:05:28
◼
►
of a archivist who said that at one
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
point uh mark hamill was having a
[TS]
00:05:34
◼
►
conversation I think when they were
[TS]
00:05:35
◼
►
shooting empire with George Lucas and
[TS]
00:05:37
◼
►
George said yeah I'm going to do one two
[TS]
00:05:39
◼
►
and three
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
after a break and then I'm gonna do so
[TS]
00:05:42
◼
►
i'm gonna do 789 @ & and you so I might
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
need you to be in episode 7 and Mark
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
Hamill said when would that be and he
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
said you know like 2011 something like
[TS]
00:05:52
◼
►
that and i started the series always pop
[TS]
00:05:56
◼
►
yeah I know I know but they were all
[TS]
00:05:57
◼
►
ridiculous and and and Lucas was always
[TS]
00:05:59
◼
►
like well I'm gonna retire you know i
[TS]
00:06:02
◼
►
i'm not going to do any more of those
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
and turns out it was actually i'm going
[TS]
00:06:05
◼
►
to sell the company to a big movie
[TS]
00:06:07
◼
►
studio and I'm gonna let my cat why
[TS]
00:06:10
◼
►
Kathleen Kennedy right that his old
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►

◼
►

[TS]
00:06:18
◼
►
that's that's the thing that's what
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
makes this my initial thought was was
[TS]
00:06:21
◼
►
the same as everybody else's my initial
[TS]
00:06:23
◼
►
thought was capital and capital o no but
[TS]
00:06:27
◼
►
then I stopped in several capital o's
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
after that right yeah yeah no I really
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
thought you know in a episode 7 and I
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
thought I don't think they've made or
[TS]
00:06:38
◼
►
could possibly make enough prozac tuned
[TS]
00:06:42
◼
►
to make this right with me but then I
[TS]
00:06:44
◼
►
got to thinking about it and I started
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
reading a little bit and I read the
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
press releases and started reading some
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
of the new stories and I realize wait a
[TS]
00:06:52
◼
►
II Lucas isn't gonna write and direct
[TS]
00:06:56
◼
►
this thing prize find the Sun comes out
[TS]
00:06:59
◼
►
well maybe I can almost live with I can
[TS]
00:07:03
◼
►
all live with that side we've already
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
hit rock bottom right like there's
[TS]
00:07:08
◼
►
nobody you hope so they don't like yeah
[TS]
00:07:11
◼
►
I mean there's a pretty bad i mean i
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
think we all agree like the little
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
here's the thing to think about because
[TS]
00:07:17
◼
►
that's not my fault he was in the chat
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
room right and no i didn't deny it as
[TS]
00:07:21
◼
►
you know right this is the cautionary
[TS]
00:07:23
◼
►
tale everybody and all the costas and
[TS]
00:07:26
◼
►
we're going to release one new Star Wars
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
movie every two to three years think
[TS]
00:07:29
◼
►
about Star Trek one new movie every two
[TS]
00:07:31
◼
►
to three years
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
what does that mean forever until we get
[TS]
00:07:34
◼
►
star trek five is that what has to
[TS]
00:07:36
◼
►
happen is that you understand and we in
[TS]
00:07:38
◼
►
the waters play out in the words of the
[TS]
00:07:41
◼
►
immortal Phil Hartman from the simpsons
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
until the series becomes unprofitable
[TS]
00:07:47
◼
►
right about one thing is like they have
[TS]
00:07:50
◼
►
seven behind you have an 89 fine but
[TS]
00:07:53
◼
►
just they just keep going eventually you
[TS]
00:07:54
◼
►
get you know the undiscovered country
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
like it just happened you know how do
[TS]
00:07:57
◼
►
you mean you can't avoid it and so
[TS]
00:07:59
◼
►
that's the nightmare scenario is way out
[TS]
00:08:01
◼
►
in our future hopefully by then we will
[TS]
00:08:02
◼
►
be totally detached for this and we will
[TS]
00:08:04
◼
►
just be looking at it as if we're
[TS]
00:08:06
◼
►
floating above our own bodies huh what's
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
right or we re blue outline ghosts is
[TS]
00:08:12
◼
►
that what we are in this scenario if
[TS]
00:08:14
◼
►
only the GI don't have maybe we've been
[TS]
00:08:17
◼
►
replaced with our younger actress
[TS]
00:08:19
◼
►
yeah i know i mean they said
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
specifically why I listen to the
[TS]
00:08:24
◼
►
financial call along with dan and Jason
[TS]
00:08:27
◼
►
staying worst Apple results call ever oh
[TS]
00:08:29
◼
►
it is often made for behind dollars they
[TS]
00:08:33
◼
►
said very specifically that they were
[TS]
00:08:35
◼
►
going to do 789 is a trilogy and then
[TS]
00:08:38
◼
►
they were basically going to mind the
[TS]
00:08:40
◼
►
star wars universe for other live-action
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
stories so we're not necessarily
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
sticking with the same characters
[TS]
00:08:46
◼
►
presuming that we're sticking with the
[TS]
00:08:47
◼
►
same characters to begin with 4789 and I
[TS]
00:08:50
◼
►
mean I could see really interesting
[TS]
00:08:52
◼
►
little stories as wanted to anyone
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
the boba fett movie you know what I
[TS]
00:08:58
◼
►
would watch the boba fett movies
[TS]
00:09:00
◼
►
I remember everything about you had John
[TS]
00:09:01
◼
►
88 movie yeah well that but I mean you
[TS]
00:09:05
◼
►
movie i would watch a kids movie with
[TS]
00:09:07
◼
►
r2d2 and c3po paddling around like I i
[TS]
00:09:10
◼
►
would genuinely enjoy that if it were
[TS]
00:09:12
◼
►
well written so i have a question which
[TS]
00:09:14
◼
►
is we listen to a little bit they talked
[TS]
00:09:16
◼
►
a little bit about some of the right
[TS]
00:09:17
◼
►
stuff is is still you know tied up there
[TS]
00:09:19
◼
►
are some production like deals you know
[TS]
00:09:21
◼
►
for example some reason in Armenia Jones
[TS]
00:09:23
◼
►
is because they're got some deals with
[TS]
00:09:25
◼
►
with paramount now some of the it sounds
[TS]
00:09:27
◼
►
like the originals are all tied up with
[TS]
00:09:29
◼
►
fox right second question whether or not
[TS]
00:09:33
◼
►
you know this is george lucas still have
[TS]
00:09:34
◼
►
enough pull their to prevent ever the
[TS]
00:09:36
◼
►
release of the remastered I don't think
[TS]
00:09:38
◼
►
ever since I think always on the table
[TS]
00:09:40
◼
►
III think it's entirely possible that if
[TS]
00:09:42
◼
►
disney and and Fox felt that there was a
[TS]
00:09:45
◼
►
market for you know a blu-ray restored
[TS]
00:09:49
◼
►
version of Star Wars i bet i bet they
[TS]
00:09:51
◼
►
bet they would do it but they could do
[TS]
00:09:53
◼
►
it i don't know if they'll decide if
[TS]
00:09:55
◼
►
it's worth it to do it you know anyone
[TS]
00:09:57
◼
►
land only you know didn't they wouldn't
[TS]
00:10:00

00:13:39
◼

really he's not a all director but I
[TS]
00:13:42
◼

00:13:44
◼

the group was on the David Fincher train
[TS]
00:13:46
◼
►
adventure like future but I don't think
[TS]
00:13:47
◼
►
features i don't think it's right
[TS]
00:13:50
◼
►
the director doesn't matter as much as
[TS]
00:13:51
◼
►
the script does because the script wants
[TS]
00:13:53
◼
►
friends like what kind of movie is this
[TS]
00:13:55
◼
►
is a dumb kids movie or is it like you
[TS]
00:13:57
◼
►
know really smart like that the script
[TS]
00:14:00
◼
►
is what really then all you need is the
[TS]
00:14:02
◼
►
right director to a not screw up the
[TS]
00:14:04
◼
►
script and be maybe enhanced but it all
[TS]
00:14:06
◼
►
depends on that script because you have
[TS]
00:14:07
◼
►
you give if you give like a not-so-great
[TS]
00:14:10
◼
►
script to anybody it's just gonna be
[TS]
00:14:12
◼
►
we're whatever you know it's gotta be a
[TS]
00:14:14
◼
►
great script so I think the writer is
[TS]
00:14:16
◼
►
haha yeah we saw it semi good with
[TS]
00:14:20
◼
►
spider-man 3

all your powers and it's like I got to
[TS]
00:14:27
◼
►
work with here like it's just no good
[TS]
00:14:28
◼
►
you know it's like it that's when the
[TS]
00:14:30
◼
►
Empire pods guess the thing that
[TS]
00:14:32
◼
►
elevates that is the script is just so
[TS]
00:14:33
◼
►
much better and then of course yes
[TS]
00:14:35
◼
►
everything execute and also understood
[TS]
00:14:36
◼
►
but if you don't have a great script the
[TS]
00:14:38
◼
►
director does not make it do about it i
[TS]
00:14:40
◼
►
can rewrite the movies themselves like
[TS]
00:14:41
◼
►
it shouldn't director can be the can be
[TS]
00:14:43
◼
►
the boss of the movie and can exert some
[TS]
00:14:45
◼
►
creative control and get things to be
[TS]
00:14:46
◼
►
you know get things that come in line
[TS]
00:14:49
◼
►
right that's something like the Nolan

00:14:51
◼
►
thing like where he was just that's that
[TS]
00:14:52

[TS]
00:18:47
◼
►
works and works i feel very very well
[TS]
00:18:52
◼
►
with complicated plots and good dialogue
[TS]
00:18:54
◼
►
so you know it could be work and it's
[TS]
00:18:57
◼
►
you know it's interesting given
[TS]
00:18:58
◼
►
obviously how many directors who are
[TS]
00:19:01
◼
►
around you especially younger directors
[TS]
00:19:03
◼
►
and at this point are the ones who cite
[TS]
00:19:05
◼
►
Star Wars is such a major influence on
[TS]
00:19:07
◼
►
their life right you know so it is weird
[TS]
00:19:10
◼
►
to think that you know you might get a
[TS]
00:19:11
◼
►
chance to to touch something that that
[TS]
00:19:14
◼
►
is that influential and i can see that
[TS]
00:19:17
◼
►
being you know they're being a lot of
[TS]
00:19:18
◼
►
trepidation around that but I hope
[TS]
00:19:21
◼
►
somebody i hope they find somebody good
[TS]
00:19:22
◼
►
you gotta do is not going to make a
[TS]
00:19:24
◼
►
terrible mess of it already said that
[TS]
00:19:27
◼
►
it's with Star Trek right JJ had the
[TS]
00:19:29
◼
►
stance but I felt like that JJ Abrams
[TS]
00:19:31
◼
►
Star Trek's area like I like that movie
[TS]
00:19:33
◼
►
but it kind of has the thing of like
[TS]
00:19:35
◼
►
they let him direct their next star wars
[TS]
00:19:37
◼
►
movie but it wasn't it when you watch it
[TS]
00:19:40
◼
►
wasn't like this looks like a J from
[TS]
00:19:41
◼
►
story like he didn't that's I don't want
[TS]
00:19:43
◼
►
that to happen like that was the was a
[TS]
00:19:45
◼
►
trend was saying that the students just
[TS]
00:19:46
◼
►
gonna want to have control I give it to
[TS]
00:19:48
◼
►
you and don't screw it up but you don't
[TS]
00:19:49
◼
►
really get much influence because the
[TS]
00:19:51
◼
►
star wars star trek reboot that wasn't a
[TS]
00:19:54
◼
►
JJ Abrams story just didn't seem like it
[TS]
00:19:55
◼
►
to me or if it was he was cowed by
[TS]
00:19:57
◼
►
whatever it is they wanted to keep it is
[TS]
00:19:59
◼
►
directing job on it but like I want
[TS]
00:20:02
◼
►
someone to really put their fingerprint
[TS]
00:20:03
◼
►
on it now I don't have to crown the guy
[TS]
00:20:06
◼
►
really fast
[TS]
00:20:06
◼
►
I mean those are those are his those
[TS]
00:20:08
◼
►
guys who wrote it and it felt Abrams e
[TS]
00:20:11
◼
►
to me other than the fact that it didn't
[TS]
00:20:13
◼
►
start with the flash forward and then
[TS]
00:20:15
◼
►
say you know three days earlier and then
[TS]
00:20:17
◼
►
tell the actual story that's the big
[TS]
00:20:18
◼
►
Abrams part is missing
[TS]
00:20:20
◼
►
I think maybe he felt like an obligation
[TS]
00:20:22
◼
►
to the two I don't know if you'd call it
[TS]
00:20:26
◼
►
to like to make it dance the dance of
[TS]
00:20:28
◼
►
startrack yeah like sorrow I having body
[TS]
00:20:30
◼
►
of you know and and that we're gonna get
[TS]
00:20:33
◼
►
it and yet it's incredibly Star Wars
[TS]
00:20:35
◼
►
like a movie what he didn't he didn't
[TS]
00:20:36
◼
►
write it and he had his guy is that he
[TS]
00:20:38
◼
►
had his guys who love star trek write
[TS]
00:20:40
◼
►
the script and then he in
[TS]
00:20:41
◼
►
yeah and then he tried to make it good
[TS]
00:20:43
◼
►
and they it's an interesting compromise
[TS]
00:20:45
◼
►
your right but and the joss whedon think
[TS]
00:20:46
◼
►
maybe I you know an interesting example
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
of somebody who's been given and before
[TS]
00:20:50
◼
►
we didn't you know if you think of these
[TS]
00:20:52
◼
►
things is not a single movies but as you
[TS]
00:20:55
◼
►
know they are franchises but they're
[TS]
00:20:57
◼
►
also almost like TV shows and that
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
there's a there's a through-line for the
[TS]
00:21:00
◼
►
plot and we're talking about three
[TS]
00:21:02
◼
►
movies not just a single movie and with
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
the Marvel movies first you had jon
[TS]
00:21:05
◼
►
favreau kind of shepherding it from the
[TS]
00:21:08
◼
►
original iron man movie up to the
[TS]
00:21:10
◼
►
Avengers and he basically did a but a
[TS]
00:21:12
◼
►
baton pass to joss whedon who's sort of
[TS]
00:21:16
◼
►
you know basically the creative director
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
working with the studio but you get the
[TS]
00:21:20
◼
►
in a sense that he is shaping the
[TS]
00:21:23
◼
►
storylines for all of these movies for
[TS]
00:21:25
◼
►
the next cycle and so that that's an
[TS]
00:21:27
◼
►
interesting question would they know
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
who's going to be the driving force is
[TS]
00:21:30
◼
►
going to be you know Kennedy and the
[TS]
00:21:32
◼
►
people at at Lucasfilm corporate with a
[TS]
00:21:36
◼
►
sort of like random collection of
[TS]
00:21:38
◼
►
writers and directors or is there going
[TS]
00:21:40
◼
►
to be somebody who is
[TS]
00:21:41
◼
►
brought in and said you know we really
[TS]
00:21:42
◼
►
do want you to be the creative forces
[TS]
00:21:44
◼
►
driving it and I'm a little skeptical
[TS]
00:21:46
◼
►
but what about I mean you know there
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
have been some very very fine a
[TS]
00:21:51
◼
►

00:21:55
◼
►
was the guy who was the name of the guy

00:21:58
◼
►

[TS]
00:21:59
◼
►

00:22:02
◼
►
Blomkamp around camp and yon camp was
[TS]
00:22:05
◼
►

[TS]
00:22:06
◼
►
direct the halo movie that never happens
[TS]
00:22:08
◼
►
if he would have fit with halo but i
[TS]
00:22:09
◼
►
can't imagine like really gross aliens
[TS]
00:22:12
◼
►
and uh huh
[TS]
00:22:13
◼
►
district nine meet style yeah but I mean
[TS]
00:22:16
◼
►
did you get hard to judge them on just
[TS]
00:22:18
◼
►
the basis of one movie too
[TS]
00:22:19
◼
►
yeah that'sthat's true you know these
[TS]
00:22:23
◼
►
are yummy looking at jackson enough guys
[TS]
00:22:25
◼
►
have done interesting step up
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
yeah Peter Jackson's interesting example
[TS]
00:22:29
◼
►
because you had like you know dead alive
[TS]
00:22:31
◼
►
and heavenly creature or creatures and
[TS]
00:22:34
◼
►
you're like who is this guy splatter her
[TS]
00:22:36
◼
►
and then heavenly creatures and then he
[TS]
00:22:39
◼
►
gets Lord of the Rings you don't know
[TS]
00:22:40
◼
►
what the heck to expect that you skipped
[TS]
00:22:41
◼
►
you skipped a couple really creepy like
[TS]
00:22:43
◼
►
really weird movies in there too i was
[TS]
00:22:45
◼
►
doing that was doing the endpoints yeah
[TS]
00:22:47
◼
►
but I was writing and everybody meeting
[TS]
00:22:49
◼
►
will write more on and the frighteners
[TS]
00:22:51
◼
►
is like that was just mediocre and just
[TS]
00:22:53
◼
►
not good at all it was like I'd rather
[TS]
00:22:54
◼
►
you know it the other polls but you
[TS]
00:22:56
◼
►
don't know what to expect when he gets
[TS]
00:22:57
◼
►
the Lord of the Rings franchises and
[TS]
00:22:58
◼
►
everyone's nervous about it but he ended
[TS]
00:23:00
◼
►
up being pretty conservative with the
[TS]
00:23:03
◼
►
treatment of or the ranks of it with the
[TS]
00:23:05
◼
►
neil whose name I don't try to pronounce
[TS]
00:23:07
◼
►
of district nine thing yet we don't
[TS]
00:23:08
◼
►
really know what he would do if given
[TS]
00:23:11
◼
►
like I would like to see him get the
[TS]
00:23:12
◼
►
hello Francesca think that would be a
[TS]
00:23:14
◼
►
good fit but that blew up but Jackson
[TS]
00:23:16
◼
►
again is an example of a guy who's a
[TS]
00:23:18
◼
►
director who is it was a somewhat
[TS]
00:23:21
◼
►
accomplished director but also a writer
[TS]
00:23:23
◼
►
with a you know with Philippa boyens the
[TS]
00:23:25
◼
►
sort of writing team for four lord the
[TS]
00:23:27
◼
►
rings and and you know that's the
[TS]
00:23:28
◼
►
question is do you do you have somebody
[TS]
00:23:31
◼
►
like that who can do both those things
[TS]
00:23:32
◼
►
and can really guide it through or do
[TS]
00:23:34
◼
►
you you know is having a very studio
[TS]
00:23:37
◼
►
studio system kind of we've got a script
[TS]
00:23:39
◼
►
and now we'll hire a director you know
[TS]
00:23:42
◼
►
yeah I don't know we should say that
[TS]
00:23:44
◼
►
there's there's other there's other
[TS]
00:23:46
◼
►
stuff going on in the background here
[TS]
00:23:47
◼
►
too because they've been developing a
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
star wars TV series in the background
[TS]
00:23:51
◼
►
here while and I don't know if that's
[TS]
00:23:52
◼
►
gonna keep going i was a
[TS]
00:23:53
◼
►
we mentioned during the call today that
[TS]
00:23:55
◼
►
they're like they saw that as an
[TS]
00:23:56
◼
►
opportunity right like television rights
[TS]
00:23:58
◼
►
hehe market and that they're gonna do
[TS]
00:24:00
◼
►
animation like they'd been living with
[TS]
00:24:03
◼
►
doing animate right for a long time
[TS]
00:24:04
◼
►
right Clone Wars has been around for
[TS]
00:24:06
◼
►
several years now right but I I don't
[TS]
00:24:10
◼
►
know it's interesting because now that
[TS]
00:24:12
◼
►
you separate the property from the
[TS]
00:24:13
◼
►
person who's created it right and i
[TS]
00:24:16
◼
►
think you know all bets are off in terms
[TS]
00:24:18
◼
►
of like yeah you don't really
[TS]
00:24:19
◼
►
necessarily need like an all a single
[TS]
00:24:20
◼
►
altar to do it i think you could get
[TS]
00:24:22
◼
►
away with someone writing a good script
[TS]
00:24:23
◼
►
and someone you know a solid director
[TS]
00:24:25
◼
►
but i think they do have to be a team I
[TS]
00:24:27
◼
►
mean you know no one doesn't necessarily
[TS]
00:24:29
◼
►
write all the scripts for the Batman
[TS]
00:24:30
◼
►
movie work something that sort of his
[TS]
00:24:31
◼
►
brother I believe you know and i think
[TS]
00:24:34
◼
►
there's I think they did tell me that I
[TS]
00:24:36
◼
►
would see some of the I mean there's
[TS]
00:24:38
◼
►
some great writers out there not just in
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
Hollywood but in like you know comic
[TS]
00:24:41
◼
►
book when I don't know why Bryant Bryant
[TS]
00:24:42
◼
►
a bondsman name popped to mind but I
[TS]
00:24:45
◼
►
thought about someone like him as a as
[TS]
00:24:47
◼
►
an interesting example of the kind of
[TS]
00:24:48
◼
►
writers they could attract this
[TS]
00:24:49
◼
►
yeah i mean the one danger that I worry
[TS]
00:24:53
◼
►
about is star wars is a definitive point
[TS]
00:24:56
◼
►
of many people's childhoods and many
[TS]
00:24:58
◼
►
current artists where they kind of got
[TS]
00:25:01
◼
►
there there sci-fi/fantasy bug and I do
[TS]
00:25:04
◼
►
worry about the being so reverential to
[TS]
00:25:07
◼
►
the treatments that it you know
[TS]
00:25:09
◼
►
overloads the movie and we're just
[TS]
00:25:11
◼
►
getting nothing but references things
[TS]
00:25:13
◼
►
like that i mean i think we kind of got
[TS]
00:25:15
◼
►
a taste with that the prequels and and
[TS]
00:25:18
◼
►
all of the other sort of reboots they've
[TS]
00:25:20
◼
►
been going on in the last 10 years but
[TS]
00:25:23
◼
►
that said they've really got to be
[TS]
00:25:25
◼
►
careful to make sure to get somebody who
[TS]
00:25:27
◼
►
you know can knows the material and can
[TS]
00:25:29
◼
►
work with material but isn't going to be
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
sluggish Lee you know in love with it
[TS]
00:25:34
◼
►
and devoted to trying to make everything
[TS]
00:25:38
◼
►
you know you don't want to do what Lucas
[TS]
00:25:40
◼
►
would do so let's see what you got
[TS]
00:25:44
◼
►
finding jobs think about what this book
[TS]
00:25:47
◼
►
yeah is this steve jobs are still alive
[TS]
00:25:51
◼
►
he is done so is is this i mean
[TS]
00:25:54
◼
►
unbalanced you do you think this is a
[TS]
00:25:55
◼
►
good this is good news or bad news that
[TS]
00:25:57
◼
►
that because because we've got George
[TS]
00:25:59
◼
►
Lucas kind of stepping away which gives
[TS]
00:26:01
◼
►
this franchise an opportunity to not
[TS]
00:26:04
◼
►
being covered by all of these issues
[TS]
00:26:07
◼
►
people have with George Lucas and his
[TS]
00:26:08
◼
►
bad writing and his strange ideas but at
[TS]
00:26:12
◼
►
the same time they're making more star
[TS]
00:26:14
◼
►
wars movies and that's scary because
[TS]
00:26:16
◼
►
that who knows what they'll be so on
[TS]
00:26:18
◼
►
balance is this you know is this news
[TS]
00:26:20
◼
►
today good or bad
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
to what do I think I think there's this
[TS]
00:26:24
◼
►
there's actually cynical part of me that
[TS]
00:26:25
◼
►
was like you know where the story goes
[TS]
00:26:28
◼
►
like what are they doing but I i gotta
[TS]
00:26:30
◼
►
admit I was feeling a little bit giddy
[TS]
00:26:32
◼
►
all afternoon after i heard this i don't
[TS]
00:26:34
◼
►
i don't know what like again all prior
[TS]
00:26:36
◼
►
evidence suggests i should not feel
[TS]
00:26:39
◼
►
excited about this and yet there was a
[TS]
00:26:41
◼
►
part of me that like was that
[TS]
00:26:42
◼
►
sixteen-year-old again who was going on
[TS]
00:26:45
◼
►
I got any more stars that's awesome so I
[TS]
00:26:48
◼
►
i don't know i mean it's i should i
[TS]
00:26:52
◼
►
should be wary of getting burned again
[TS]
00:26:53
◼
►
but i find it hard to believe that I
[TS]
00:26:56
◼
►
won't be there on opening night I think
[TS]
00:27:00
◼
►
it's universally positive because I at
[TS]
00:27:03
◼
►
the prequels really just like severed
[TS]
00:27:05
◼
►
any relationship I had like that that
[TS]
00:27:08
◼
►
was that was the cutoff point that
[TS]
00:27:10
◼
►
isolated my three star wars movies from
[TS]
00:27:12
◼
►
the rest of the universe and now i'm
[TS]
00:27:15
◼
►
just so happy to have as many other
[TS]
00:27:16
◼
►

00:27:19
◼

to be able to do stuff in the universe
[TS]
00:27:23
◼
►

00:27:25
◼

like the Phantom Menace like I'm I'm
[TS]
00:27:27
◼
►
totally psyched for new movies not
[TS]
00:27:28
◼

because I'm not attached i'm not like oh
[TS]
00:27:31
◼
►

[TS]
00:27:32
◼
►
going to be the best movie ever like I'm
[TS]
00:27:33
◼
►
bargaining at this point like I hope
[TS]
00:27:35
◼
►
it's at least as good as JJ Abrams Star
[TS]
00:27:37
◼
►
Trek and it won't lessen the other
[TS]
00:27:38
◼
►
movies to me anything like that like
[TS]
00:27:40
◼
►
it's just it's totally divorced and
[TS]
00:27:42
◼
►
totally separate but there are so many
[TS]
00:27:43
◼
►
possibilities and of course the other
[TS]
00:27:45
◼
►
one that I'm excited about is the
[TS]
00:27:46
◼
►
possibility of having you know blu-ray
[TS]
00:27:49
◼
►
version of the theory releases put out
[TS]
00:27:51
◼
►
right but but it looks like that the
[TS]
00:27:54
◼
►
star trek is the doomsday scenario where
[TS]
00:27:55
◼
►
they just make movie after movie and
[TS]
00:27:57
◼
►
then just become increasingly terrible
[TS]
00:27:58
◼
►
and just becomes a mess but so fine like
[TS]
00:28:00
◼
►
if you might really want to do that it's
[TS]
00:28:02
◼
►
kind of disappointing but i'm not i'm
[TS]
00:28:03
◼
►
not attached to it anymore like that
[TS]
00:28:04
◼
►
I've I bet is that there's a Chinese
[TS]
00:28:07
◼
►
wall between the three star wars movies
[TS]
00:28:09
◼
►
and then anything it's like expanding
[TS]
00:28:11
◼
►
universe I don't get annoyed about crazy
[TS]
00:28:13
◼
►
stuff happening expanding universe i
[TS]
00:28:14
◼
►
have no idea what's going on those books
[TS]
00:28:15
◼
►
I don't read them they don't bother me I
[TS]
00:28:17
◼
►
it was because like the prequels were
[TS]
00:28:21
◼
►
going to be canonical by the same guy
[TS]
00:28:22
◼
►
part of the same you know like it that's
[TS]
00:28:25
◼
►
why there was a heartbroken and because
[TS]
00:28:27
◼
►
we had to wait i don't know how many
[TS]
00:28:28
◼
►
years it was but it was a long time was
[TS]
00:28:30
◼
►
longer than damage live it was a long
[TS]
00:28:31
◼
►
time we waited a long time so that was
[TS]
00:28:33
◼
►
that was the most crushing entertainment
[TS]
00:28:35
◼
►
blow of all of our lives and nothing can
[TS]
00:28:37
◼
►
compare to that so now now I'm all like
[TS]
00:28:39
◼
►
thumbs-up I hope you don't make stinker
[TS]
00:28:41
◼
►
but if you do I go oh yeah they screwed
[TS]
00:28:43
◼
►
up try again so I i want to start sir
[TS]
00:28:45
◼
►
track again as an example that I think
[TS]
00:28:47
◼
►
might be encouraging John which is so
[TS]
00:28:50
◼
►
they made the original Star Trek but the
[TS]
00:28:51
◼
►
motion picture and Gene Roddenberry was
[TS]
00:28:53
◼
►
heavily involved and it was a stinker
[TS]
00:28:56
◼
►
and the studio basically kicked him out
[TS]
00:28:58
◼
►
of all creative control over star trek
[TS]
00:29:00
◼
►
to and future movies there and they went
[TS]
00:29:03
◼
►
on a bit of a creative success at that
[TS]
00:29:05
◼
►
point Roddenberry was involved with Star
[TS]
00:29:07
◼
►
Trek The Next Generation at the
[TS]
00:29:08
◼
►
beginning and they basically kicked him
[TS]
00:29:09
◼
►
out of control
[TS]
00:29:11
◼
►
by the end of the second season which
[TS]
00:29:12
◼
►
was when that show became noticeably
[TS]
00:29:15
◼
►
better so I I think there's something to
[TS]
00:29:18
◼
►
be said that there's some precedent here
[TS]
00:29:20
◼
►
for having the Creator step back and
[TS]
00:29:24
◼
►
having you know any any any Enterprise
[TS]
00:29:27
◼
►
huh that that is creative and has
[TS]
00:29:30
◼
►
continuity like this after a while you
[TS]
00:29:33
◼
►
know it's the same people telling the
[TS]
00:29:34
◼
►
same stories and you need a break and
[TS]
00:29:36
◼
►
you need a new perspective and starting
[TS]
00:29:39
◼
►
to sell me on Gary Lucas yeah so start
[TS]
00:29:41
◼
►
with it needed to go so I I'm really
[TS]
00:29:43
◼
►
encouraged about that because star wars
[TS]
00:29:45
◼
►
now has an opportunity to have that
[TS]
00:29:47
◼
►
creative refresh and like you said there
[TS]
00:29:49
◼
►
are so many people who are not just not
[TS]
00:29:53
◼
►
just like 20 year olds but people from
[TS]
00:29:56
◼
►
20 to 50 who grew up loving Star Wars
[TS]
00:30:00
◼
►
who are incredibly talented writers i
[TS]
00:30:03
◼
►
mean i'll use doctor who is an example
[TS]
00:30:05
◼
►
to when they brought Doctor Who back it
[TS]
00:30:06
◼
►
was all the people who are professional
[TS]
00:30:08
◼
►
TV writers who loved it when they were
[TS]
00:30:10
◼
►
kids and we that the the movie industry
[TS]
00:30:11
◼
►
is full of people who love Star Wars so
[TS]
00:30:14
◼
►
you would think they have their choice
[TS]
00:30:16
◼
►
of incredible talent to rethink and move
[TS]
00:30:20
◼
►
forward with this franchise and you know
[TS]
00:30:23
◼
►
that's so exciting because i like you
[TS]
00:30:24
◼
►
John I thought that this was something
[TS]
00:30:26
◼
►
that you know when George Lucas died
[TS]
00:30:28
◼
►
somebody would say okay we can release
[TS]
00:30:30
◼
►
those original movies now
[TS]
00:30:32
◼
►
all because they were going to redo a
[TS]
00:30:34
◼
►
episodes 4 5 & 6 like that will still
[TS]
00:30:36
◼
►
happen eventually if we all live long
[TS]
00:30:38
◼
►
enough someone will do the reboot right
[TS]
00:30:41
◼
►
hope Empire and jedi-like and that when
[TS]
00:30:43
◼
►
they don't be sad and mobile now begun
[TS]
00:30:45
◼
►
in Chinese yeah probably will be ill
[TS]
00:30:48
◼
►
that's all gonna be a firefly crossover
[TS]
00:30:50
◼
►
you know all the cursing will be in
[TS]
00:30:51
◼
►
Chinese let's go well I mean if we can
[TS]
00:30:54
◼
►
extrapolate from this then we can
[TS]
00:30:56
◼
►
determine that Firefly will get remade
[TS]
00:30:58
◼
►
sometime in the next 20 to 30 years
[TS]
00:31:00
◼
►
writer but this was different i think is
[TS]
00:31:04
◼
►
that by doing this in trying to do
[TS]
00:31:08
◼
►
episode 7 8 9 they're actually trying to
[TS]
00:31:11
◼
►
lock in the original series because I
[TS]
00:31:15
◼
►
felt like if you go if you go long
[TS]
00:31:17
◼
►
enough because what they'll do is
[TS]
00:31:18
◼
►
they'll introduce new characters that
[TS]
00:31:19
◼
►
are young and exciting butter the
[TS]
00:31:21
◼
►
children and grandchildren and related
[TS]
00:31:22
◼
►
to the characters format instead instead
[TS]
00:31:25
◼
►
of well be the alternative is to just
[TS]
00:31:27
◼
►
remake them right i mean i-i think
[TS]
00:31:28
◼
►
that's a it's an interesting choice that
[TS]
00:31:31
◼
►
that and again to go to the star trek
[TS]
00:31:33
◼
►
path they do that for awhile and
[TS]
00:31:35
◼
►
everybody's too old and it's too tired
[TS]
00:31:37
◼
►
and then somebody comes in just as let's
[TS]
00:31:39
◼
►
just go back to the beginning and do it
[TS]
00:31:40
◼
►
again but i don't think they're I think
[TS]
00:31:42
◼
►
they want to extend this universe stupid
[TS]
00:31:44
◼
►
people who love the love the the
[TS]
00:31:47
◼
►
extended universe books and all that had
[TS]
00:31:49
◼
►
feel feel fear about this being kind of
[TS]
00:31:53
◼
►
crushing them out of existence
[TS]
00:31:54
◼
►
I don't know well I think there's a way
[TS]
00:31:56
◼
►
to balance it it just depends on how I
[TS]
00:31:59
◼
►
mean they mentioned in the conference
[TS]
00:32:01
◼
►
call that they got a pretty detailed
[TS]
00:32:03
◼
►
treatment of seven eight nine and
[TS]
00:32:05
◼
►
granted God knows how much of that
[TS]
00:32:07
◼
►
they'll actually use but the question is
[TS]
00:32:09
◼
►
how influence that is with the extended
[TS]
00:32:11
◼
►
universe and the extended universe has
[TS]
00:32:14
◼
►
always been kind of meta cannon anyway I
[TS]
00:32:16
◼
►
would love to see i would love out of my
[TS]
00:32:20
◼
►
mind to see Tim's and Thrawn Trilogy as
[TS]
00:32:24
◼
►
789 I think that would be amazing i
[TS]
00:32:27
◼
►
think it probably won't happen unless
[TS]
00:32:28
◼
►
they recast the actors but you know see
[TS]
00:32:31
◼
►
Mara Jade on still on screen would be
[TS]
00:32:33
◼
►
pretty awesome from a you know from a
[TS]
00:32:36
◼
►
lifelong fan perspective but I don't
[TS]
00:32:39
◼
►
know it's I don't think it will diminish
[TS]
00:32:41
◼
►
the extended universe i mean people
[TS]
00:32:43
◼
►
there are always I mean there are
[TS]
00:32:45
◼
►
there were diaries and extended books
[TS]
00:32:47
◼
►
written for the prequels so clearly
[TS]
00:32:49
◼
►
there's going to like that that universe
[TS]
00:32:52
◼
►
is still going to exist if I doubt 789
[TS]
00:32:54
◼
►
will write it out of existence but let's
[TS]
00:32:56
◼
►
not let's not put the extended universe
[TS]
00:32:57
◼
►
up on a pedestal i mean they drove that
[TS]
00:33:00
◼
►
pretty hard into the ground to a certain
[TS]
00:33:02
◼
►
point so you know I think there's some
[TS]
00:33:05
◼
►
things that are good and extended
[TS]
00:33:06
◼
►
universe I i also like tim jones trilogy
[TS]
00:33:08
◼
►
the first one the rest of the stuff you
[TS]
00:33:10
◼
►
wrote was mediocre at best but that
[TS]
00:33:13
◼
►
doesn't mean I kind of like the original
[TS]
00:33:14
◼
►
dark Empire comic like there's some good
[TS]
00:33:16
◼
►
stuff in there it's just but it's mixed
[TS]
00:33:17
◼
►
in with law stuff that is not good at
[TS]
00:33:20
◼
►
this point i read it would be many many
[TS]
00:33:21
◼
►
years I read almost all fit at this
[TS]
00:33:24
◼
►
point all the time you know would be
[TS]
00:33:25
◼
►
over right at me because because of the
[TS]
00:33:27
◼
►
difference in time unless they recast
[TS]
00:33:28
◼
►
which I don't think they would do
[TS]
00:33:29
◼
►
they're gonna say like with the first
[TS]
00:33:30
◼
►
trilogy you know this this takes place
[TS]
00:33:32
◼
►
30 years 20 years probably it will take
[TS]
00:33:36
◼
►
place exactly as many years it's been
[TS]
00:33:37
◼
►
since when they saw the original trilogy
[TS]
00:33:40
◼
►
right yeah well in the notes on the on
[TS]
00:33:42
◼
►
the Star Wars site they say like others
[TS]
00:33:44
◼
►
about 20 years between trilogies which
[TS]
00:33:46
◼
►
you know unfortunately yeah the actors
[TS]
00:33:49
◼
►
have all aged out of that right because
[TS]
00:33:51
◼
►
as what i hear is gonna be 30 years
[TS]
00:33:53
◼
►
yeah and it's always more than that
[TS]
00:33:55
◼
►
because you know their supporters like
[TS]
00:33:56
◼
►
27 the first 10 i'm just thinking since
[TS]
00:33:59
◼
►
since a return of the jedi right right
[TS]
00:34:02
◼
►
yeah so like you know even if it was
[TS]
00:34:04
◼
►
ii-in his early thirties at this point
[TS]
00:34:06
◼
►
now it's more like 35 years later right
[TS]
00:34:09
◼
►
and so well that's a hard life being a
[TS]
00:34:11
◼
►
guy with a vest running around its tough
[TS]
00:34:14
◼
►
life in ages joy one of those things you
[TS]
00:34:16
◼
►

[TS]
00:34:17
◼
►

00:34:18
◼
►

◼
►

00:34:28
◼
►
couple of scenes and people like who and
[TS]

[TS]
00:36:54
◼

gotta say on a tangential note when I
[TS]
00:36:56
◼
►
was listening to the call today they
[TS]
00:36:57
◼
►
talked a little bit about video games
[TS]
00:37:00
◼
►
too because among other things a part
[TS]
00:37:01
◼
►
LucasArts right now and they're like I
[TS]
00:37:03
◼
►
heard them say we're going to focus more
[TS]
00:37:04
◼
►
on like social and casual games and I
[TS]
00:37:06
◼
►
was kind of ready to swear at them for
[TS]
00:37:08
◼
►
that because there are so many like but
[TS]
00:37:10
◼
►
they said videogame property's been
[TS]
00:37:11
◼
►
totally botched over the last 10 years
[TS]
00:37:13
◼
►
what they said they were going to they
[TS]
00:37:14
◼
►
were probably gonna license out the
[TS]
00:37:16
◼
►
console games and not because Lucas are
[TS]
00:37:18
◼
►
they have a strength and building
[TS]
00:37:19
◼
►
console games i think that's what they
[TS]
00:37:20
◼
►
said you know how let's get them
[TS]
00:37:23
◼
►
probably yeah right
[TS]
00:37:25
◼
►
why I'm just hoping I think just in
[TS]
00:37:27
◼
►
general as John was saying earlier i
[TS]
00:37:29
◼
►
think the the net positive of this is
[TS]
00:37:30
◼
►
just that you know to a certain extent
[TS]
00:37:33
◼
►
Lucas was just keeping everything locked
[TS]
00:37:36
◼
►
down in certain ways right and now
[TS]
00:37:37
◼
►
there's a lot more freedom all the
[TS]
00:37:39
◼
►
sudden and that freedom might be a bad
[TS]
00:37:40
◼
►
thing right here is bad things can be
[TS]
00:37:42
◼
►
done with it but it also has the chance
[TS]
00:37:44
◼
►
to be something positive and we've seen
[TS]
00:37:46
◼
►
what you know what the alternatives
[TS]
00:37:47
◼
►
which is either yet nothing or we get
[TS]
00:37:49
◼
►
you know gigantic pieces of crap so I'm
[TS]
00:37:52
◼
►
certainly willing to see what Disney can
[TS]
00:37:54
◼
►
do with what i want things for one
[TS]
00:37:58
◼
►
thing's for certain you're going to you
[TS]
00:38:00
◼
►
know pay a lot of money
[TS]
00:38:02
◼
►
what you gonna do that anyway you're
[TS]
00:38:04
◼
►
ready for you know it yet ready to buy
[TS]
00:38:06
◼
►

[TS]
00:38:08
◼
►
oh yeah yeah but again yes I don't see
[TS]
00:38:11
◼
►
another movie at midnight star wars fans
[TS]
00:38:12
◼
►
are happy to I mean happy to do that I
[TS]
00:38:14
◼
►
think especially I i do think it's true
[TS]
00:38:16
◼
►
that if they if they did the super
[TS]
00:38:18
◼
►
restored original classics it
[TS]
00:38:21
◼
►
ultra-expensive that trilogy blu-ray
[TS]
00:38:24
◼
►
thing they would sell a billion of Meyer
[TS]
00:38:26
◼
►
you know it's all those four five
[TS]
00:38:28
◼
►
hundred dollars and they'd still making
[TS]
00:38:30
◼
►
really yeah yeah and I wouldn't surprise
[TS]
00:38:33
◼
►
me if they if they did that that but
[TS]
00:38:36
◼
►
yeah there'll be more movies and people
[TS]
00:38:38
◼
►
go see him and I'll I'm with John I feel
[TS]
00:38:41
◼
►
like the bloom you know the bloom is off
[TS]
00:38:42
◼
►
the rose we lost our innocence with star
[TS]
00:38:44
◼
►
wars with the prequel so now it's like
[TS]
00:38:46
◼
►
all right you know more
[TS]
00:38:48
◼
►
sure that's more tries I'm optimistic
[TS]
00:38:50
◼
►
because that we've hit rock bottom I
[TS]
00:38:52
◼
►
think that's probably true and open
[TS]
00:38:55
◼
►
worst movies there will be worse but
[TS]
00:38:56
◼
►
eventually eventually but in in this
[TS]
00:38:58
◼
►
first in this first set I think
[TS]
00:39:00
◼
►
yeah i think there's a chance he hiding
[TS]
00:39:02
◼
►
too sensitive better right to ya like
[TS]
00:39:04
◼
►
they gotta know everyone knows right
[TS]
00:39:06
◼
►
like everybody it's almost universal
[TS]
00:39:09
◼
►
that that that people did not like these
[TS]
00:39:11
◼
►
woods above a certain age sure you know
[TS]
00:39:13
◼
►
and I I think you've got to be sensitive
[TS]
00:39:15
◼
►
to that effect and you know as a as what
[TS]
00:39:16
◼
►
was the guy who said on the financial
[TS]
00:39:18
◼
►
call today something about like you're
[TS]
00:39:20
◼
►
you know you're going to anger the
[TS]
00:39:21
◼
►
entire internet typically have been
[TS]
00:39:24
◼
►
there mistreating it we angry know where
[TS]
00:39:27
◼
►
joyful jubilant it's like Scott Forstall
[TS]
00:39:29
◼
►
using sorry that that's just another
[TS]
00:39:31
◼
►
podcast look but my point being you know
[TS]
00:39:34
◼
►
I think they know that there's
[TS]
00:39:35
◼
►
incredible last sensitivity and I think
[TS]
00:39:37
◼
►
enough fun has been made those are you
[TS]
00:39:39
◼
►
know of one two and three that they know
[TS]
00:39:42
◼
►
they don't want to go down that road so
[TS]
00:39:44
◼
►
I think you know if they're smart and I
[TS]
00:39:47
◼
►
think they whatever else you might say
[TS]
00:39:48
◼
►
about them they're they're clearly savvy
[TS]
00:39:50
◼
►
business people
[TS]
00:39:51
◼
►
yeah I think they're gonna think about
[TS]
00:39:53
◼
►
that you know when they're when they're
[TS]
00:39:54
◼
►
looking at how to put this yet this is a
[TS]
00:39:56
◼
►
four billion dollar investment for
[TS]
00:39:58
◼
►
disney I think they're really
[TS]
00:39:59
◼
►
financially motivated to make their
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
money back and they know that making a
[TS]
00:40:05
◼
►
good product is what's going to do it
[TS]
00:40:07
◼
►
and and you know I'm encouraged by the
[TS]
00:40:09
◼
►
fact that you know Disney buying marvel
[TS]
00:40:11
◼
►
we can argue about the quality of
[TS]
00:40:13
◼
►
specific Marvel movies but that they
[TS]
00:40:15
◼
►
seem to have had some success and some
[TS]
00:40:17
◼
►
creative success and we can argue about
[TS]
00:40:19
◼
►
the scope and then Disney buying Pixar
[TS]
00:40:21
◼
►
is another interesting example they
[TS]
00:40:22
◼
►
brought them both up in the call today
[TS]
00:40:24
◼
►
that where Disney is making these kind
[TS]
00:40:26
◼
►
of strategic investments in in companies
[TS]
00:40:29
◼
►
that have skills or intellectual
[TS]
00:40:30
◼
►
property that it's fascinating to see
[TS]
00:40:32
◼
►
that and and you know that you don't buy
[TS]
00:40:35
◼
►
star wars for four billion dollars and
[TS]
00:40:37
◼
►
you know Fox has the distribution rights
[TS]
00:40:39
◼
►
for the old movies this is really about
[TS]
00:40:40
◼
►
the future this is about disney saying
[TS]
00:40:42
◼
►
that star wars is a you know has a
[TS]
00:40:45
◼
►
future and it's worth four billion
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
dollars so oh by the way the muppets
[TS]
00:40:49
◼
►
also are owned by disney now so finally
[TS]
00:40:52
◼
►
all Muppets and other month like puppets
[TS]
00:40:54
◼
►
are under one roof
[TS]
00:40:56
◼
►
Yoda and Grover can now appear together
[TS]
00:40:59
◼
►
now I'd like that wouldn't happen so no
[TS]
00:41:05
◼
►
i didn't i put a link in the skype chat
[TS]
00:41:07
◼
►
room and the and the IRC chatroom it's a
[TS]
00:41:09
◼
►
link to the one of the old trailers and
[TS]
00:41:11
◼
►
from 2010 for the old republic
[TS]
00:41:13
◼
►
look yeah unfortunately that game turned
[TS]
00:41:15
◼
►
out great
[TS]
00:41:16
◼
►
right so this i'm ignoring the games
[TS]
00:41:19
◼
►
entirely and just saying the people who
[TS]
00:41:22
◼
►
put together the cutscenes to t is the
[TS]
00:41:25
◼
►
old republic but those guys make a movie
[TS]
00:41:27
◼
►
because they they have the you know it
[TS]
00:41:30
◼
►
is a runny nose like it was making game
[TS]
00:41:32
◼
►
I'm just saying let's meet the cutscenes
[TS]
00:41:34
◼
►
these kind of things
[TS]
00:41:36
◼
►
hint hint at a like you're like I'd like
[TS]
00:41:38
◼
►
to see the movie that this cutscene is
[TS]
00:41:40
◼
►
full from maybe you would like to play
[TS]
00:41:41
◼
►
the game the cutscene is pulled from but
[TS]
00:41:43
◼
►
they have the look the feel of a non
[TS]
00:41:46
◼
►
George Lucas Star Wars that i would be
[TS]
00:41:47
◼
►
interested in watching it's kind of like
[TS]
00:41:49
◼
►
the battlestar galactica reboot where
[TS]
00:41:50
◼
►
it's like a little bit grittier more
[TS]
00:41:52
◼
►
interesting and you know not too not too
[TS]
00:41:56
◼
►
obsessed with the fetishizing the things
[TS]
00:42:00
◼
►
that were good about the 70 series or
[TS]
00:42:02
◼
►
whatever like that when i think of a
[TS]
00:42:04
◼
►
good future of Star Wars I think of
[TS]
00:42:06
◼
►
these videogame trailers but and and I'm
[TS]
00:42:09
◼
►
worried a little bit about so the point
[TS]
00:42:11
◼
►
at which i gave up reading most of the
[TS]
00:42:12
◼
►
extended universe stuff was they started
[TS]
00:42:15
◼
►
this huge sort of push to do this was a
[TS]
00:42:17
◼
►
call like the New Jedi Order which is
[TS]
00:42:19
◼
►
this huge sort of overarching story line
[TS]
00:42:22
◼
►
that they did in the books for a while
[TS]
00:42:23
◼
►
and lets the it was already out of
[TS]
00:42:27
◼
►
terrible story line because it basically
[TS]
00:42:29
◼
►
turns Star Wars into Star Trek like
[TS]
00:42:32
◼
►
there are these aliens invading from
[TS]
00:42:33
◼
►
another universe and they were coming to
[TS]
00:42:35
◼
►
fight the Jedi and I you know I was
[TS]
00:42:38
◼
►
sitting there going this is this is not
[TS]
00:42:40
◼
►
this is not what's interesting about
[TS]
00:42:41
◼
►
Star Wars you know and also they killed
[TS]
00:42:44
◼
►
off a fairly major character in the
[TS]
00:42:46
◼
►
first book of that series at which point
[TS]
00:42:48
◼
►
I literally stopped reading about 20
[TS]
00:42:49
◼
►
pages from the end after they killed a
[TS]
00:42:51
◼
►
character put it down and then did not
[TS]
00:42:52
◼
►
touch a star wars book for many many
[TS]
00:42:53
◼
►
years I was that angry
[TS]
00:42:55
◼
►
well but and so I mean to the point of
[TS]
00:42:59
◼
►
that somebody made the chat room and I
[TS]
00:43:01
◼
►
think George Lucas made on on in the
[TS]
00:43:03
◼
►
little video they released on on

00:43:04
◼
►

LucasArts or Lucasfilm i think i think
[TS]
00:49:11
◼

somebody and maybe it was her said
[TS]
00:49:13
◼
►
George this is this disfranchise is huge

[TS]
00:49:52
◼
