| Topic | George Lucas: Critics of Star Wars Prequel Dialogue 'Don't Understand' Star Wars |
| CyricZ 12/15/20 8:12:12 PM #2: | Oh okay. >_> EDIT: Read the article. Few things, George. One. Remember this is your dialogue. You wrote it. You and perhaps Jonathan Hales, but given how possessive you are, I'm-a assume you. Defending your own dialogue saying people "don't get it" comes off a little... mmm... pretentious. Two. Basing Star Wars off of older styles of film serial is a nice homage, and it definitely worked, initially. Other Star Wars projects have tried similar things with varying success. A great recent success is The Mandalorian, which draws heavily from Westerns. Problem I see in the case of AOTC is that when you dedicate so much of the production effort to modern CGI and bombastic battle scenes, you're actually stepping away from those homages and into your own thing. Then, when you do use homages, it can come off quite jarring and disconnecting. Furthermore, those old melodramatic scenes worked well back then because they weren't just dialogue. They were paced, shot, and acted to play up the melodrama. None of that was done in AOTC. Three. People had more than one problem with Attack of the Clones. --- CyricZ ... Copied to Clipboard! |
