Jabba the hut is based on one of Ralph McQuarries finest turds.

10 years ago | Likes 136 Dislikes 2

Yes. Its the kind of turd that is very rotund, but is all gooey and sticks to the butthole in the end like a caramel.

All borrowing techniques from Bob Peak, the Father of the Modern Movie Poster. He was the man, a true innovator. There's my 2 cents.

I do not believe that Luke and leia were originally supposed to be siblings.

10 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

Apparently Vader wasn't originally Luke's father either, this is why he got such less screen time in EP IV and was made to be under Tarkin.

Nor should she have been. It was a cheap twist really.

Wasn't the Skywalker character originally supposed to be a female?

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

They weren't. And it wasn't originally supposed to have sequels. It was meant to be a one-off. The "Chapter 4" part was meant 1/2

10 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

to evoke the old "serial" style of science fiction stories. Nothing more. 2/2

George captured the imagery for ep.4. Then people who knew what they were doing took over. Then George was back for 1-3 and killed it.

In all the special edition extras, it's sort of touched upon that editing saved "Star Wars" (IV)...which George had a slight hand in...

Star Wars was successful *despite* George Lucas. He's a helluva humanitarian, but not a film god he's believed to be.
