Cinemassacre’s Star Wars Overview Part 1
Cinemassacre has brought us previous videos counting down The Top 20 Urkel Moments and the Top Ten Baddest Bad Guys. This time they are bringing us an overview of the original Star Wars trilogy. I don’t think it’s hard to tell that TCM is a fan of Star Wars. This video accurately sums up the reasons why I enjoy it so much, not to mention dissecting Lucas & Spielberg’s influences and inspirations that made it into the film series.

You all remember this battle don’t you? The turning point of the Revolutionary Jedi American War? Further proof that George Lucas is cgi(ing) and rewriting the past to pave his future success.

George Lucas Is Back At It
Straight from the fat asses mouth, the Indiana Jones 5 script is being finished off as I am typing this. I can’t even begin to describe the eternal nausea this makes me feel. If your a reader of our blog you might remember i’ve discussed my hatred for the last movie at length here and again here.
Mr. Lucas you and Mr. Spielberg are nothing but money grubbing whores. Why couldn’t you take a cue from the Seinfeld series and not drag to death a good thing? Go out on a high note, don’t tarnish your well regarded body of work (further). What could you possibly do with any more money? You can’t buy planets…yet and as far as I know, ours isn’t for sale.
Worse yet, there is a rumor (and hopefully only a rumor) that Sean Connery is coming out of retirement to play dear old dad once again. While I would enjoy hearing him refer to Indy as “Junior” a trillion times, i’m pretty positive in the Crystal Skull they said he was dead. Please don’t tell me he was actually abducted by Aliens.
Maybe this movie will take place in the 1960′s and Harrison Ford has to beat the shit out of CGI hippies, “Mutt” gets drafted and Marion becomes the world’s ugliest go-go dancer. Oh, and I guarantee they will somehow make Indiana the 2nd shooter on the grassy knoll. For some reason the last movie found it necessary to tie him into every important world event.
Just do the world a favor Lucas and give up.

The George Lucas Paradox
I hate George Lucas’ movies, which is an ironic paradox because I love George Lucas’ movies. Let me explain. Lucas has 2 incredible franchises under his belt, both the epic Star Wars saga and Indiana Jones. By 1989, he had crafted 3 highly regarded movies a piece for both series of films. Those 6 movies I always find myself going back to, simply put they are great cinema. This is exactly where it should have ended.
Lucas has spent the last 20 years re-doing his old movies and crafting unnecessary sequels/prequels. The original Star Wars trilogy (Episodes 4-6) are considered classics, not just of the genre, but of all time. Then 14 years after it had been finished, Lucas decided he would re-release the same movies in theaters done with better graphics, and thereby ensuring a jolly box office raping. I got news for you Mr. Lucas the old ones looked just fine. Yoda is a fucking puppet, deal with it. He added some new scenery and backgrounds to preexisting scenes. Ok…I guess that’s cool, but is it necessary? I suppose that’s tolerable, but dear God, don’t add extra scenes to the movie that have nothing to do with the plot and only to show off your new computer. The new scene in Return of the Jedi, In Jabba the Hutt’s lair where the CGI creature sings a cocktail number to the crowd is particularly cringe worthy. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ABOUT? It’s like when Frank Capra re-released It’s a Wonderful Life, with the extra digitally created scene where Clarence the Angel is taking a shit and Jimmy Stewart walks in on him and blushes. Remember that? Of course you don’t, Frank Capra was smart enough not to screw with a classic (and he’s dead).
Well, how could Lucas make more money you ask? More Star Wars movies of course! This time we got 3 new Prequels. The 1st one was unbearable, the second one was decent at best, Episode 3 is actually pretty good, but it doesn’t redeem the other 2 for existing.
