I'm writing not to say that I liked the newest Star Wars movie, which I did, but rather to say something snide about George Lucas. Perhaps this seems unfair, picking on the man whether he makes a good movie or not, but I don't feel fair.
What I have to say is this:
Remember when George Lucas carelessly started fucking up his movies from twenty years ago, inserting lots of bad computer generated images and then refusing to let anyone see the originals again? That sure was crazy and mean of him, huh?
Mr. Lucas claims it as his prerogative to alter his earlier work, adding what he says he wanted to include before but was unable to due to the constraints of budget and technology.
Granting him this, it seems fair to ask whether ten years from now he will try altering The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones to make up for their inadequacies in plot, writing, and acting, inadequacies due to the constraint of Mr. Lucas being a talentless hack.
I also write to wish Mr. T a happy 53rd birthday. God bless you, Mr. T, you make our world a better place.
(If you have not read Mr. T's interview in this month's Wizard magazine, you must. It includes the words "Superman never went to the school to tell the kids not to do drugs. Mr. T does that all the time.")
