Star Wars episode IX: Wait, there ARE more Jedi (and light sabers too. Lots and lots of lightsabers).

Edit: ha, I just saw Gaith's post in the other thread. I guess my title isn't that original.
 
I'm reanalyzing the Star Wars franchise, specifically the Prequel Trilogy and The Force Awakens, at a time where I've begun to have conflicting opinions on these four films, and I'm starting to warm up to them again slowly. I know a lot of you have decided on how you feel about them, but I would really like to share how I'm feeling about them and my journey of re-analyzing them, since this is a wonderful community for discussing movies as well. Would any of you be interested in my journey, and the decisions I come to with each installment?
 
You're welcome to try and change our opinions on TPM ! :D :p
 

I only recently watched this. Is he for real? I know he played Boss Nass, yes that part is real, but I mean the rest of the story. If he's telling the truth and not just trying to spin a story to be entertaining, it sounds like George Lucas has literally no idea what he wanted TPM to be. After seeing SW: The Beginning and the RLM Plinkett reviews, I didn't think I'd learn anything new about TPM behind the scenes, but here's yet another thing.
 
I'd be inclined to believe Brian Blessed.   He's larger than life but has little to gain from making the story up.

I don't understand, which part of the video are you talking about?
 
It's literally the entire video. 

The story Brian Blessed tells is that George didn't know what he wanted, didn't give him any direction. He gave him lines in standard English with no dialect, and everything that came from the Jar-Jar species is just a spinoff of Brian Blessed's improvised performance. Brian explains that later when he heard the Jar Jar voice, he thought the performer didn't imitate Mr. Blessed's own performance well enough. 

What I got out of it:
George thought he was letting a master of the craft help shape his prequel films by getting input and performances early in the process. He realized he'd gone too far, but only after screening the finished film in Skywalker Ranch (which can be seen in SW: The Beginning and is referenced in the RLM reviews). It was too late to go back and fix. Gungans are such a huge part of the film, and George Lucas is such a notorious control freak, that I am actually shocked he allowed so much of the film to form outside of his own head. It paints a very different story than I had envisioned around the making of the prequels.

Edit (2 days later) : Wow, I really thought others might be more interested in talking about this, one way or another. Whatev-skees.

From that article...

*Jar Jar doing some inane sh*t* All the kids laughed. Then the Gungan laughed, too... The adults, though. They don’t say much about him.

Oh that book can f**k right off for that part. Is George Lucas ghost writing it? ;) They wish it was only the adults that hated Binks.

Thankfully the finale of ROTR will soon(?) make that book "Legends".
 
Does "some time this year or maybe next" count as "soon?" ;)
 
I think you are confusing Jah with Jar Jar.
