whats the backlash on Red tails? the Tuskegee airmen were amazing and it is a story worth telling.
SO my Niece and Nephew are 5 and 3 and have watched starwars. they love the og 3 but HATE TPM, thr 5 year old cant stand any scene with jar jar
kid friendly my ass
I've seen the trailer for it, looks pretty entertaining. I saw an interview with terrance howard and he was saying it's pretty much an action movie using the tuskegee airmen, not a civil rights movie like the original "tuskegee airmen".
I'll probably still watch it, i'm a sucker for action and good surround sound.
wow I didnt know Lucas is so hated. Yea I didn't like jar jar either, but didnt think ep 1-3 were absolute shit

Waggy, its not really backlash. The issue was getting the movie made. Hollywood just will not fund a $100million+ movie with a mostly all black cast. Heck they rarely fund any movie with a mostly/all black cast. Most movies with mostly black casts are paid for by the small studio who is producing it(typically owned by someone like Tyler Perry, Spike Lee, etc).
It has got a lot of bad reviews for just being a pure action flick. But it being an action flick is not why Hollywood wouldn't pay for it to be made.
Disney, Glory Road?

Meh, in all likelihood when the next format comes out in a few years he'll come out of retirement for a few days to make some "essential edits".
honestly, i think he could only go out on a low. his focus on the business of art has cost him any integrity as an artist decades ago. to illustrate this point, here's an interview from the rain delay of the 2011 canadian grand prix.
when asked about making a formula 1 movie, george says:
"generally speaking, films about sports don't work. people like to see the real thing."
by "work" he means "make more money for me than where i took it from."
meanwhile, senna was among the very highest-regarded movies last year. ron howard's rush is filming at germany's nurburgring this very week.
Lucas is a retard. He likely can't remember his own childhood and he should be kept away from children. He's that bad.Meh, as a kid I thought Jar-Jar was hilarious, and that's whom he was marketed to. Lucas has openly stated his desire to make Star Wars more kid-oriented. IIRC that was one of his stated motivations for making Greedo shoot first.
I just hope whomever takes over Lucas's role wises up and releases an unaltered original cut on blu-ray, but that's probably wishful thinking.
The prequels were a lazy attempt to cash in on the success of the original trilogy. Lucas may have been a visionary 35 years ago. He's mainly a special effects artist. ILM's contribution to filmmaking has been massive. However, he's not a good storyteller. I think he gets far too much credit for creating Star Wars. Filmmaking is a collaborative effort. Back then he had people to flesh out the story, create visuals, add an acting dimsneion, and most importantly, question him creatively.
Today he's just a businessman. Which is okay. However, he's become another Michael Bay. I'm thinking Red Tails has become his Pearl Harbor. That's why he's leaving. He knows it.
It's simple, give Star Wars fans the original trilogy in 16:9 theatrical release (Blu-ray) and we'll get off his back. He can do whatever he wants to the other crappy trilogy.
