And football is just a game.

Star Wars is more than just a movie just as football is more than just a game.

Embrace the force.....

Why didn't Obi Wan Kenobi or Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru change Luke's last name?

Star wars isn't just a movie. It's life.

Lucas cared more about special effects than plot holes

mudpupper

Because there's no way they could have come up with a cooler name

That's exactly what the empire would have thought

Same reason Obi Wan doesn't remember owning r2d2

Obi Wan never did own R2. If you read the New Hope novel. It makes it clear that

Skywalker is the Smith of far away galaxies, so it didn't matter.

I have a therory that Lucas didn't have things planned out as much as he said

sgriff

6/26/17 9:44pm

I agree with this. Lucas did a ton of retconning.

eddog

6/26/17 9:46pm

Yep, ANH was a hit and then they suddenly decided to figure out the big picture.

This is what I think as well

Like somebody on here said, he was special affects guy that landed a director's

mudpupper

Makes perfect sense. Do you know how he landed the music?

mantis mutu

6/26/17 10:00pm

I don't know but it was huge break for him. Williams was almost as important

mudpupper

6/26/17 10:13pm

No doubt. I wish I had the crystal ball view on how that 1st movie woulda flown

mantis mutu

It was a combination of Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress

I'll take that as homework, man.

This info found here is great

TNT

Fox wanted Lucas to end the movie after they escape from the Death Star

TNT

6/26/17 10:35pm

He wanted to use the Planets at first ITRC. Spielberg recommended him after Jaws

TNT

That was me.

Still say that's the best insight in to Lucas. Simple but true.

mudpupper

6/26/17 10:14pm

Thanks. It's nice seeing actual filmmakers use the Star Wars toolbox.

George's gift was a very visual imagination

TNT

6/26/17 10:18pm

Making the robots the personable comic relief was bucking-trend ingenious too.

mantis mutu

6/26/17 10:29pm

It was. TNT is also of the opinion that the first Star Wars soundtrack

George Lucas. Nuff said.

Another Skywalker on the same planet Anakin was born on? Nobody would notice

mudpupper

6/26/17 9:45pm

Anakin hated sand so much he wasn't ever going back there. Why else did he a task an underling to find the droids. SAND

Luke was hidden in the most obvious place ever

CFMcK

Luke wasn't hidden. I thought Darth Vader knew his son survived.

Fdnman

6/27/17 6:07am

I was under the impression that Vader didn't find out about Luke

eddog

6/27/17 7:25am

You thought wrong. Vader didn't know about Luke until sometime between IV and V.

sgriff

Darth Vader was in a constant battle with his inner Anakin. He felt that
