"I'm not a great writer," says Lucas, whose strength lies in concocting huge scenarios, not in coming up with snappy dialogue or in constructing small domestic scenes. "I'm trying to tell a story using cinema, not trying to write a great script. I use the script as a blueprint."
This is a Lucas quote from the ROTS article. Very telling and makes so much sense. I was in high school when the prequel trilogy came out. It was obvious even then that they were not good movies and the scripts were bad.

I'll never understand why George couldn't give all his notes and basic stories to a good screenwriter(s), and letting them write the scripts.

Even with George directing, I feel like the prequels (with the exact same stories as they are now) could've been considerably better movies if a better screenwriter had been brought on board.

Still, I really enjoy the movies even with all their flaws.

At least the prequels were original, not just a rehash of Episode 4 like TFA was.

I wish I could go back to my 17 year old self, so that I can remember if I ever thought Jar Jar looked like a cool character before seeing the film.

I would assume she doesn't have interest to do so since she hasn't, but I'd love to see a film with her as cinematographer.

To be fair, he did this with Disney, and Kathleen tossed them in the shred pile.

Don't judge little Ani. Senate cut student grants for the jedi academy, and his virgin mom is dead.

The villains cover looks like a white trash reunion.
Such intimidating and menacing characters as well. That said, I bet Gwendolyn Christie could hold her own in a scrap.

I think Benicio's character is Dr. Cornelius Evazan's long lost son.

I enjoyed the VF article... can it be December now?

Quote:

Earlier this spring, in a screening room in the Frank G. Wells Building at Walt Disney Studios, in Burbank, California, Johnson described to me the approach he took to writing The Last Jedi, the second film of the Rey-centered trilogy. "J.J. and Larry and Michael set everybody up in a really evocative way in VII and started them on a trajectory. I guess I saw it as the job of this middle chapter to challenge all of those characterslet's see what happens if we knock the stool out from under them," he said.

As it is, none of the main characters in The Force Awakens emerged from that picture in what can be described as a triumphal state. John Boyega's Finn had been gravely wounded in a lightsaber duel with Kylo Ren. In a telephone interview from China, where he was filming Pacific Rim: Uprising, Boyega told me that, as teased in The Last Jedi's first trailer, his character, Finn, begins the new movie in a "bacta suit," a sort of regenerative immersion tank that, in the Star Wars galaxy, heals damaged tissue. Adam Driver, alluding both to Finn's state and the scar seen on his own face in the trailer, told me, "I feel like almost everyone is in that rehabilitation state. You know, I don't think that patricide is all that it's cracked up to be. Maybe that's where Kylo Ren is starting from. His external scar is probably as much an internal one."

Quote:

That Luke is so changed a person presented Johnson with rich narrative opportunities. The Last Jedi is to a large extent about the relationship between Luke and Rey, but Johnson cautions against any "one-to-one correlation" between, say, Yoda's tutelage of young Luke in The Empire Strikes Back and old Luke's tutelage of Rey. "There's a training element to it," he said, "but it's not exactly what you would expect." This being the spoiler-averse world of Lucasfilm, the production company behind the Star Wars movies, that's about as specific as the director is willing to get. (No, he won't tell you if Luke is related to Rey, or, for that matter, what species the super-villain Supreme Leader Snoke happens to be, or which character the title The Last Jedi refers to.)
