Current mood:  betrayed
As a Star Wars fanboy from childhood, it was a sad day when I realized that George Lucas was in fact evil. He was one of my heros and one of my original reasons to want to be a film-maker. The first Star Wars was his first real movie ever, it was his dream to get it on the screen and there was a real heart to those movies, thats why they were a hit. But something happened over the years and he lost what he had. Now he spends his time thinking of new ways to keep that money coming in. 30 years later and hes still milking Star Wars for every penny he can get. I didn't cry when I found out Santa Claus wasn't real, but Lucas' departure to the dark side really hurt. I just saw this article and had to spread it somewhere as an outlet for my anger.
This was published in the World Entertainment News Network- ->""HOLLYWOOD - Director George Lucas wants to quit filmmaking to concentrate on more lucrative TV projects.
The Star Wars creator says making movies is too risky nowadays, because the average cost of shooting and marketing a blockbuster is now $200 million, so he's steering his production company, Lucasfilm, towards TV and low-budget movies.
Lucas also believes Internet downloading is set to shake up the film industry, reports Empire magazine.
He reveals, "We don't want to make movies, we're getting into television. The feature-film thing is too expensive and it's too risky. For that same $200 million I can make 50 to 60 two-hour movies."
He adds, "I don't think anyone's going to be in the (movie-going mood) anymore.""
IN OTHER WORDS, Lucas has no soul and pretty much admits to not caring about his craft at all. Instead he wants to continue to produce crap at less cost to him, any way he can as long as it makes him money. George, you can try to ruin Star Wars and Indiana Jones all you want, but I have the originals on VHS and you can't take those away from me!! -James "The Amazing" Peters
