Re: Lucas Forced Himself To Write Episode III

That happends because he doesnt know how to write at all.
You cant force a good story you have to feel what youre writing otherwise it will come out as every star wars films he has writen. All his friends has said it before even he... im a bad writer

"Hollywood mogul George Lucas struggled so much with writing the screenplay for final Star Wars installment Episode Iii - Revenge Of The Sith, he had to force himself to stick to a rigid working day as he sought inspiration. The hugely successful movie-maker, 60, took on the persona of a normal office worker as he sat at his desk for nine hours a day, five days a week - and he still only managed to produce five pages everyday. He says, "I am very diligent about writing. I go to work at 8.30am and leave at 6pm. I sit there with that page in front of me but I still can't write it. I do get it done, I actually write five pages a day. But I force myself - otherwise I would probably write a page a day."

He should of called back Jonathan Hales or another writer to help him with the screenplay. He did write A New Hope and The Phantom Menace all by himself.

------ Unfortunately, it shows.

By the sound of some of the reviews, this could be the reason for the lack of quality dialogue in ROTS.

" I hate sand.... It's rough and it gets everywhere."

Not exactly Shakespearian dialogue there. The man made an excellent science fantasy, but he pulled a Darth Maul on the actual speech.

Alright all you genius know it all fan biatches...

Go write your own script for the most anticipated film of all time AND run a company without having to regiment yourself to a strict schedule.

With all the money he has, dont you guys think he could have hired a few writters to help him out??? 😉

And a few good writer as that...but if he wanted to do it by himself...I can understand that.

" I hate sand.... It's rough and it gets everywhere."

"Oh, Ye hear me now. This sand in my clothes scratching. Destryoing my very existence. But if thou shall, I would inform Thee, that my hate lingers with sand, from this day on!"

Perhaps he wanted to be sure that if someone messed up the movies, it would be he.

Fair enough. I can see wanting to make a movie all by yourself, but really, I can make better dialogue regardless of circumstances. Some people have it, and some don't. If I can't critic his style simply because he made a blockbuster movie series and owns a business then I guess I can't critic the president, or any world leader, or my parents, or hell, why stop there? Let's not critic anyone who does anything I can't/won't do? Can't critic plumbers...

Oh wait, that's piss poor logic. Phew. Almost got me.

Timothy Zahn, wow. I bought a copy of Heir to the Empire for .25 cents at a re-sale shop. Problem was it wasn't used.

"Dialogue is not my thing," Lucas freely admits, adding, "I don't like writing, and I don't like scripts."

And it shows! 😉

He could of hired back Lawrence Kasdan who helped him with ESB and ROTJ.

OH YES!

Yeah he could have, but he didnt, so lets all rally up the imperial army and raid the skywalker ranch.

YES!!

No! We don't want to ruin our chances of watching the movie.

It's already out there, man. Now we can kill the lot before they start the tv-series.
