What I Thought Then: I honestly think that out of all the words I am going to be typing in these six columns, this section is the toughest for me to write. When you have actors scoffing at dialogue and a British film crew who all thought they were making a bomb, it says a lot. But it seemed to be the only thing that backed the film in public. But I DO recall my mother telling me the science fiction show my father watched every week would promote the film months ahead of time, saying it was going to change the way films were made. The film came out five months before that global event happened. Mostly due to the fact that, well, I wasn’t even born yet. Star Wars is the only film out of the entire franchise that I did not have the honor of seeing in a theater. The rest, as they say, is history.Īs for me. After getting his actors through their motions and barely making the rapidly approaching deadline, Lucas saw his film take to seething box office proportions. The stress took such a toll on the filmmaker that he damn near had a heart attack. Lucas, taking the challenge on at the rightful age of 27, was fighting actors who did not understand his dialogue, and effects makers who were struggling to meet demands with anything worthy of being put onscreen. But people fail to realize it wasn’t without its consequences.
And I think it is safe to say that Coppola’s challenge was met.
But the gist of it is Francis Ford Coppola, after producing a big screen adaptation of his friend and protege’s student film THX 1138, challenged the maker of that film to do something out of the norm.
STAR WARS REVISITED BITTORRENT MOVIE
It will be the sheer definition of ‘Revisit.’īackground: Like many places during this column retrospective, here is where I have to include the statement ‘where to start.’ The making of this movie is so out in the open that I feel giving any information about it would be making people read the same thing for at least the second time. This won’t be a white washed, half assed reflection on what I remember. I would also like to say that even though I can probably quote each film from beginning to end, I WILL be rewatching each of them again for the ‘What I Think Now’ portion of the column. But even I can see where things went wrong, and I will not be afraid to point them out. Because it is no secret that I am a big fan of this franchise. Sometimes defending, but all the time critiquing. I am going to be revisiting all six Star Wars films and commenting as I see fit.
STAR WARS REVISITED BITTORRENT SERIES
Including talking at length about the series in podcasts and the start of what you are reading right now. But until then, I have a few things planned that will lead up to what is guaranteed to be a glorious day.
December 18th will be a time for celebration and havoc all rolled into one. It is a period of reflection and looking ahead. The clock is ticking and we are just a little under two months away from experiencing a brand new Star Wars film.
