He wasn't going to use star wars anymore which was unfortunate. He should have at least made sure it was in good hands before abandoning it. It's a lost cause now in my opinion, it should have just stayed dead.
I bet he's regretting it now...He could have made new SW's films and used them to finance films he wanted to do but he sold it and now he has to live with it. At the end of the day Harrison ford got what he wanted his character killed off and Carrie fisher died while doing her most famous role alas Mark Hamill not so happy....
Well, he probably feels little remorse if any. We as fans were quite harsh with the prequels, and really haven't shown a particular love for Lucas himself. If he regrets anything, he may regret the current state of the franchise and its handling outside of his power.
He so underrated I mean I love the way he speaks.. It's so real and personal, he'd rather get a award or gift from a friend like that's deep and shows the kinda person he is. "100 pennies or 4 quarters..."
I totally got his point that being age 70, he wasn't sure if he'd be around long enough to do another Star Wars trilogy justice, saying 3 films should take a span 10 years. He shows he is a lifelong learning and wants to continue to dispense his wisdom to other directors as he does small experimental films.
Great interview. And probably the only time I heard an American director mentioning or using as a side of comparison Soviet filmmaking, with its stronger and weaker sides. Shows that Lucas is "in the know", so to say.
I said in the beginning no one would ever be able to take care of star wars other than george lucas himself and i was right. Star wars has turned into a feminist joke
ScrewFearMe:. Charlie Rose came into that interview with a mission of supporting the awards show. Remember, he worked for PBS. Charlie was being a jerk and trying to trap Lucas into saying he really wanted this award. But, Lucas was giving it to him straight. And he doesn't have to leave a dope like Rose push him into saying anything. Lucas has FU money. He doesn't have to let himself be bullied.
Not that it matters, but I'm pretty sure he said *"White sleevers" - as in corporate executives in suits with white sleeves/dress shirts. He has used the phrase in a bunch of interviews when talking about hollywood execs. making movies for money rather than passion or creativity.
Nuh, I think it was "white slavers", but not meaning for it to sound offensive, rather a joke, because George himself is portrayed as someone selling his own kids within it. So yeah, context matters.
George is awesome. I don't begrudge him selling Lucasfilm to Disney, but I think Universal Studios or Paramount Pictures or 20th Century Fox would have done better than the abhorrent one that Disney has done with it.
The whole interview is being guided by Charlie Rose and his forthwith onset, this video only has 5.7k views after almost a year, and a lot of people have grown up and out of Star Wars. Having said all that, the real fans can watch this and appreciate what George Lucas says, because his legacy has inspired and molded certain human realities. That legacy will continue to do so in the hearts of those who care about the wisdom and hope it created. The Disney effort is mostly weak and doesn't make much sense in the long run, because the younger generations live on unfounded, inexperienced wisdom. Luke Skywalker was taught by wise leaders in the original Star Wars movies, which showed us, the audience, honest results. We don't see much of that with the new Star Wars characters. There must be feasible unity for all walks of life, not just the objective pop culture fanatics and the weak minded. These days, we live in a type of dark age where old technology competes with new technology and the young compete with the old in vastly different ways. The big ideas and industries that used to work in the past are up in arms and even our leadership in America is questionable. What has anyone done to make everything about a unified effort to accomplish another golden age? Who is real? Definitely not anyone in the recent decades and sadly maybe not anyone anytime soon!
he should never have sold the rights to disney , he should have made luke skywalker story films ... instead disney have shoehorned skywalker out of the series - total bollocks .
Its hard to feel sorry for a millionaire....but Lucas is an artist and hes been sold off and made a fool of. I like a lot of his work and hes been shit on.
Because it's his interview. If Charlie Rose called you up and asked for 45 minutes, you'd be talking about yourself too. It's the name and subject of the program.
Wait a minute. Popular movies don't win Academy awards? Are you kidding me? Maybe not popular with thirteen-year-olds but, if you look at the list of "Best Picture" Oscars for the last one hundred years, there are maybe a couple I wouldn't pay attention to. The rest are pure gold!
73challenger5031 Lucas is right. What was the last big box office film that won the Oscar. You have to go back to films like maybe BODY HEAT, THE GREAT GATSBY, THE WAY WE WERE, The Godfather. Films like that. Who won the Oscar the last three years. THE SHAPE OF WATER, and two other films no one said.
How do you think George really feels about selling his baby?
He wasn't going to use star wars anymore which was unfortunate. He should have at least made sure it was in good hands before abandoning it. It's a lost cause now in my opinion, it should have just stayed dead.
Lord Nytris It should have ended in rotj

49:49 here it is
He so underrated I mean I love the way he speaks.. It's so real and personal, he'd rather get a award or gift from a friend like that's deep and shows the kinda person he is. "100 pennies or 4 quarters..."
It's not clickbait. He actually did call Disney "white slavers". How did I miss that before?
everyone at disney is jewish not white but you arent allowed to say that on film
I totally got his point that being age 70, he wasn't sure if he'd be around long enough to do another Star Wars trilogy justice, saying 3 films should take a span 10 years. He shows he is a lifelong learning and wants to continue to dispense his wisdom to other directors as he does small experimental films.
yeah i am interested in seeing his future films
maitreyaishere now he will live long enough to see his baby totally destroyed by Disney
Too bad the legacy he wanted to pass on was mismanaged.
Some interviewers need to do some research before they sit down. This guy had to ask if George won any Oscars...
This interviewer seems very angry for some reason...
It's almost like someone told him to act that way hmmm...
Hes trying to create a narrative and George isnt playing his game.
Why is the Interviewer so god damn angry?
good question...
rose was starting to be a dickhead a few times.
Charlie Rose got busted for being a creepy douchebag-so then got fired.
Lucas is the coolest man on earth!
What is the interviewers problem. What he so angry about. George gets it
Great interview. And probably the only time I heard an American director mentioning or using as a side of comparison Soviet filmmaking, with its stronger and weaker sides. Shows that Lucas is "in the know", so to say.
wink wink
Rose was incapable of not interrupting
I said in the beginning no one would ever be able to take care of star wars other than george lucas himself and i was right. Star wars has turned into a feminist joke
ur a right wing nazi women h8r wow sad
13:30 you actually hear the interviewer getting angry at lucas when he says he doesnt care about the awards hes getting
ScrewFearMe:. Charlie Rose came into that interview with a mission of supporting the awards show. Remember, he worked for PBS. Charlie was being a jerk and trying to trap Lucas into saying he really wanted this award. But, Lucas was giving it to him straight. And he doesn't have to leave a dope like Rose push him into saying anything. Lucas has FU money. He doesn't have to let himself be bullied.
Old guy interviewing George is really annoying. Yea...
Not that it matters, but I'm pretty sure he said *"White sleevers" - as in corporate executives in suits with white sleeves/dress shirts. He has used the phrase in a bunch of interviews when talking about hollywood execs. making movies for money rather than passion or creativity.
Nuh, I think it was "white slavers", but not meaning for it to sound offensive, rather a joke, because George himself is portrayed as someone selling his own kids within it. So yeah, context matters.
Why does he care so much if an award means so much To George or not.
He's doing it on purpose to give the interview more drama. Happens all the time.
George is awesome. I don't begrudge him selling Lucasfilm to Disney, but I think Universal Studios or Paramount Pictures or 20th Century Fox would have done better than the abhorrent one that Disney has done with it.
Roughly 7:45-48 someone’s phone is going off.
George is king
What I got out of this is that George Lucas was a huge pothead back in the day.
George Lucas should have stuck to his guns ( I read the whole description)
Yeah im sad he sold
Yeah im sad he sold
Reddboy So am I at least we will always have, the Trilogy that we will all remember,
These movies he’s on about I really wanna see. Underground private George Lucas films
Me tooooo
Which interviewer is going to ask him what the fuck that "Indiana Jones as a child molester" story line idea was about?
Lol good question

Fuck what a way to start the interview
ikr
"YOU'RE GEORGE LUCAS."
Uhm, I think he's aware of that, there was no need to repeat it multiple times :)
WHYYYY did u sell star wars to disney... you knew this would happen ... they are killing your baby...
He does not care for awards because he has gotten the greatest award ever, fatherhood.
Its hard to feel sorry for a millionaire....but Lucas is an artist and hes been sold off and made a fool of. I like a lot of his work and hes been shit on.
138boris billionaire
leave a like if this was cringy af
?
Notice the “Me, mine, me, me, I, me”. This type of person is call a megalomaniac.
Because it's his interview. If Charlie Rose called you up and asked for 45 minutes, you'd be talking about yourself too. It's the name and subject of the program.
Star Justice Wars

My bad. I was assuming by "popular" they meant "well liked". It didn't even occur to me that they were speaking of box-office receipts.
Ah white guy would compare slavery....smh.
smh
It was within the joke that he sold his children to someone else. Isn't it just about right to call it slavery?
