Mr. Lucas, I can tell right off the bat why Revenge of the Sith has not reached the $ 400 million dollar mark in North America. Every one of your fans wanted to see Mechanical Vader kicking ****. You did not deliver in this sense. Don’t get me wrong Revenge of the Sith was the best Star Wars by far. I have an idea that would close the chapters on Star Wars. George Lucas: Shadow warned me that not showing Mechanical Vader fighting the Jedi at the end of Revenge of the Sith would hurt the box-office performance of Revenge of the Sith. Shadow is always right about everything. However, you need to understand that my hands were tied. Vader has a very slow and clumsy fighting style in the old films.  that really hurts |

Don't take offense to it or anything. SS is just an idiot.

How come the clone troopers were so dominant (killing JEDI!) in Episode 1, 2 and 3 and then in Episodes 4, 5 and 6 they couldn’t hit someone standing still? I mean a legion of Palpatine’s BEST troops were there and they lost to teddy bears! How did they become so weak?
George Lucas: The difference in the storm troopers from the prequels to the old films has to do with the will of the Force. The will of the Force was not with the Jedi. Hence, they were easy targets. You need to remember that the storm troopers took the Jedi by complete surprise. It was rather easy for them to mow down the Jedi. Also the storm troopers never kill our heroes in the old films because heroes just don’t die. I hope this explains this matter for you.

Dear Mr. Lucas, my question is wouldn't it make more sense if the Jedi were able to reproduce? I mean that way they would be able to prejudice Jedi with the strengths of their parents ?
George Lucas: I modeled the prequel Jedi after myself. I’m unable to have my own biological children so I thought it would be interesting to deny the Jedi having their own children. Again this doesn’t make any sense to some. People even Jedi should be allowed to marry and have children. The rules are changed for Luke Skywalker’s Jedi. They can marry and have children. In fact, Luke marries Mara Jade and has several of his own kids.

George, I think that just because you have so much money, it doesn't give you the right to bash your fans.
You are rich because of them and just because they seem to disagree with some things you may not like, you take things so **** personal. If you are so jaded with negativity, why even bother to answer them?
And since you do, why are you so immature about it?
We all know what you have. You don't have to keep stating it as if that is going to change the opinions of others. What do you gain by it? I really thought of you as an intelligent person rather than a child placing yourself at their level. How old are you? Arguing about losers, money, dating super models and etc? You sound like a teenager!
PLEASE! What the **** does dating a model have anything to do with being successful? If that is the case why haven't you married one? If you were so darn successful you would have been able to keep your marriage and have a loving woman who would care and respect you as you are because you are one of the typically "unattractive" ones believe it or not. You probably will not even post this comment since it hits home, doesn't it?
And as for driving old cars, yes perhaps some folks may drive them, but remember the majority of them have someone in their lives in which you have been a big loser at. I consider myself a successful person with more than enough assets and I don't flaunt what I have and don't have.
And you **** well know that all the money you have will never replace the love of a good person because no matter how many "super models" you may date, none of them actually stay and in the end you are alone and you probably will die alone (without a wife). And that my friend is a life of a loser.
George Lucas: It does make me sad that I don’t have a woman in my life who can be both my wife and a mother to my children. Your words cut very deeply. The problem I have is if I marry one of the super models I date I could end up losing control of Lucasfilm or Star Wars. You might say that a prenuptial agreement would protect my assets, but that is not ironclad. Some crazy judge could set a precedence whereby my wife would get 50 % of Lucasfilm or Star Wars. That would be a nightmare without end for me.
If somebody else had control of Star Wars, I would be forced to produce new Star Wars films every two to three years. The fans would be ecstatic, but I don’t want to run the franchise into the ground. Sure you could see trilogies based on the ancient days of the Jedi and Sith, the younger days of Yoda and so forth.
Back to your stinging criticism of me, I don’t mind being told what I’m doing wrong. I probably shouldn’t bash the fans. But the great thing about Shadow’s web site is that I can say exactly what is on my mind. I don’t have to hold back. I can vent all my frustrations. The prequels have been tremendous successes at the world-wide box offices. Many times more successful than the old trilogy.
Yet there are a few people who say bad words about the prequels. If you don’t like them, then keep quiet. I don’t want to hear any unfounded criticism. Shadow and I have crafted the most amazing prequel trilogy in the history of cinema. We will be remembered like Homer and Shakespeare. I’m very thankful for all that Shadow has done for me. He is the best thing to ever happen to Star Wars.

SuperShadow is a little fucker and no longer will I tolerate his bullshit. This has gone too fucking far, and this will be in our letter to LucasFilm.
SuperShadow will be finished, I will see to it...

George, you seem obsessed with money. Don't you have enough already? Greed is a path to the dark side. P.S. Episode 5 is the best directed episode in all of Star Wars. Did you direct it?
George Lucas: Lucasfilm is a business. To stay in business, we have to make money. That’s just a fact of life. If you were as successful as me, you would worry about money too. I’m responsible for providing paychecks for thousands of people each week. It takes money to do that. I think you are a disservice to the fans by stating I’m obsessed with money. All true fans know this to be false. It’s just a coincidence that Star Wars makes so much money.
Episode 5 is better known as The Empire Strikes Back. The mere mention of this film gets people extremely upset because this is the Star Wars film where people think it all started going down hill. I didn’t direct The Empire Strikes Back which explains why it isn’t as good as the Star Wars films I did direct. I apologize profusely to the fans for not directing The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. I made sure that I directed all the prequel films so that the fans would not get ripped off this time around. According to SuperShadow, the prequels are a lot more popular with the fans than the old films.

George Lucas: I use to have a nightmare about Hitler where Hitler would be marching up to the gate of my mansion with hundreds of Nazi storm troopers at his side. This is the most terrifying, re-occurring dream I have ever had. This dream is the inspiration for the scene in Revenge of the Sith when we see Anakin with the clones descend on the Jedi Temple. I’m still frightened to this day.

George Lucas: The scene between Han Solo and Greedo made me lose sleep for many years. I thought it showed a bad example to young people for some hero to shoot first out of cold-blooded fear. I wanted Greedo to shoot first to teach kids that it is O.K. to fire back once you’ve been fired at. It is not appropriate to engage the enemy before they start shooting at you. I believe changing this scene makes Han a lot more heroic and braver since he waited shooting until after Greedo shot first. This is one of the most crucial and important changes I made to the old films.

George Lucas: I defy you to find an interview where I ever say I was happy with the way The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi turned out. I’ve never been happy with them. That is why I keep making so many changes to them. My legacy depends on how people receive these films hundreds of years from now. I don’t want the people of the future laughing at me because of how primitive the special effects look in the old films. I really do care what people in the future are going to think of me.
It would be nice to be able to get my hands on a working time machine so that I could go back and direct all the Star Wars films myself. That is the only thing that would truly make me happy. As it stands now, I have to live everyday knowing that I ruined The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi by not directing them when I had the chance. I just hope the fans can forgive me.

Mr. Lucas, I currently attend school in Louisiana and was wondering; will Lucasfilm be making contributions to the victims of the hurricane? George Lucas: I wrote out a check for $ 10 dollars just the other day. If more money is needed, I will donate another $ 10 dollars. I do everything possible to help those in need. We should pray for our friends in the Deep South. May the Force be with them. ohboyohboyohboy  Suttle is such an idi0t. People are suffering and he is making jokes |
