George Lucas, Q&A

George Lucas, on turning the Star Wars: Clone Wars TV series into a feature length film:

"I have the advantage of not having to have a business plan about movies..."I have the advantage of being able to come up with an idea and say 'this is a good idea' and 'gosh this turned out so great, why don't we move it over here and do this'....it's kind of ad-hoc movie-making.

"We started working on the [TV]series and we developed all this new technology, new techniques, this different look to everything and I saw it.....and I said 'wow this is good enough to be a feature film. Why don't we make a feature film?'".


Uhhhhh...because of Star Wars, Episode I. Star Wars, Episode II. A little pile of trash called Star Wars, Episode III. And, finally, because of Jar Jar Binks. Finally proof that being in charge does not equate with intelligence.

seems like Lucas has tried to stretch his Star Wars franchise a bit too far... but still, Clone Wars looks fun to watch
