"Is there one thing you'd like to be remembered for...?" - Seth "Raising my kids" - George My admiration of George Lucas just increased exponentially. Good man. Good man.
+Rus Pitman Actually, it's very underrepoted that he did offer script writing duties to Kasdan. But he turned it down. ROTS was also co scripted by another writer, Jonathan something. The main problem was putting Ben Burtt I'm charge of editing. He needed an extremely tight and confident editor because I say it time and time again - TPM and AOTC could be Mike's better with a great edit. As is evident in the many edits available online. But yes, a co-director would have worked wonders.
+Craig Hicks very true. Being surrounded by "yes men" and poor editing made the prequels weak. Which is why there are so many good youtube edits for the prequels. Honestly the whole prequel trilogy could have been 2 movies. Even in the originals the way the movie was put together and the way scenes were removed made it a much better movie. There are plenty of awful moments in the originals that were scrapped (look at the original Lea and Han scene in cloud city in Ep. 5 for example)
+Rus Pitman that is totally not true. he asked others to direct phantom menace. watch the making of docmentary, he's asking for feedback and no one says anything.... too much ignorance about the man goes around. not knowing what they are talking about
+Dan Tee its my opinion that if he'd had meaningful creative collaboration on the PT that they would've ended up good movies. I can only assume that he wanted too much control over the outcome, which is fair enough. They were his movies and he was in the position to do whatever he wanted. I don't dislike the films just the execution, but I can appreciate what he was going for. Regardless I've moved on from being annoyed at the prequels and I hope he works on something new soon. It will be interesting to see what films if any he makes now that Star Wars is done and dusted for him.
@@DARTHMOBIUS I am tired of everyone blaming everything on SJW or Political Correctness. That shit has been around for thousands of years. People nowadays don't know their head from their ass and use those things as scapegoats for their problems. SJW's are unintentional assholes. They always have been, cut from the same cloth as grammar nazi's and technicality gurus. Are they annoying? Yes. Are they an actual problem? No. Just ignore them like you would ignore any other asshole. Political Correctness is an over-ambition of common decency, but please do not confuse the two. You need to utilize empathy in your daily lives. Try to realize that people different from you have different opinions and views on things. Put yourself in their shoes and understand why they think the way they do. Get along with people if they aren't being an abrupt asshole. A lot of the issues associated with political correctness are because those people that are different from you feel an incredible amount of negativity associated with them, without any reason. They are just trying to educate people that a different viewpoint exists, and that is perfectly fine. If you don't want to listen, then that is your choice, just don't be a dick like an SJW. I feel like people who complain about SJWs and SJWs are the same type of people, just finding something to bitch about. Shut the fuck up, get on with your life, and you will realize that SJWs and PC don't really affect much. Now if you want to know what's really the problem, it is the people who want power and money. Those are the people slinging the issue onto their scapegoats. These are companies who care way too much about money, these are people who care way too much about their power. Those are ultimately the people responsible for the change you don't want. Thanks for listening to my youtube comment rant, sorry if these things feel unfairly directed towards you, maybe you'll understand what it feels like to be the subject of undue negativity.
Seth and George..... WOW. Both innovators, both took risks and succeeded, both are wrongfully accused of selling out, and the world of entertainment would not be the same without them!
Funny how many FANS continue to bash George Lucas but are still in love with the universe and characters he created. George Lucas is a legendary filmmaker with a legendary imagination and he seems like a decent human being. When he sold LucasFilms to Disney he donated all his profits to charity. He created the greatest movie universe in history. Everyone knows Star Wars and most people love it. That's why the prequels are judged so harshly. Just appreciate what he has done for film.
They're ungrateful and entitled spoiled kids. O,k I don't really like the prequels either but I cannot say I know better what Star Wars should be not can I demand George Lucas make it a certain way as if I own the franchise. Of course now it's Disney. They'll pander and do fan service like they already have and fan service is not a good thing.
+Reuben Natal First off I agree with almost everything you said. Lucas created a Master Piece and should be appreciated and fans should be grateful for it. I also agree all news and indicators are that Lucas is a really good guy that does really great things to help people. I do believe in my humble opinion though that Lucas seemed a bit more arrogant in the late 90's and early 2000's and I think that is part of the reason for some of the backlash. I think here in the last few years Lucas has been so humble, gracious, and even poked fun at himself in regards to the franchise moving forward with out him. Fact is with both his creations and charity efforts George Lucas has made the world a much better place, but his arrogance and stubborn ways in the prequels is reason for critique, but not the level of hate that is out there.
+Reuben Natal This is so ignorant. George's original crime is that he has no respect for film history. His second crime is that he created a trilogy of children's movies for a preexisting fanbase of adults.
Brian wouldn't have been this excited and giddy about the interview. He'd most likely ask pretentious questions, talk about himself and/or his "book", and then probably insult George in some way.
Those were some great questions from Seth MacFarlane! Lots of posivite energy coming from him too which combined with George Lucas being the story teller, and obviously a eloquent man, made for a great interview
DocRunaway I thought it was really sweet.. Lucas seems like a nice enough bloke, and Seth seems like he's genuinely having a fanboy moment. And it's a good interview.
Maybe because you needed to buy the DVD to get these bonus features? Also were you an active Star Wars fan on TH-cam 5 or 6 years ago? Wasn’t that before Force Awakens too... were you interested in SW back when the last movie was a prequel? So many reasons for why TH-cam didn’t show this yet besides the obvious exclusive bonus features
I do see your point and I wasn’t aware that this was bonus feature. I’m actually happy that you told me and I will look further into this. But yes, I have always been an active Star Wars fan/watcher since I was 6, I am now 16. I didn’t start watching Star Wars on TH-cam until I was 10. Then again I probably wouldn’t have understood any of this at that time.
If you’re referring to the first Star Wars movie I ever watched, it was a New Hope. But my all time favorite Star Wars movie would have to be episode III, just because of the whole Anakin VS Obi-Wan fight. What your favorite movie?
@@PhoenixofMyr episode 3 too I'm 17 the first one I watch was episode 1 and because the prelogy was the first I saw I never understood why it got so much hate, the 3 for me is perfect because of that anakin vs obiwan fight and because most of the fights were so good.
This guy I recon is the greatest filmmaker of all time. He made only a handful of films, but he changed movies, filmmaking, human culture, like no one else.
+Observer Alternative Michael Bay is an atrocious filmmaker. He just has a bunch of stuff explode and then tries to pass it off as a movie. Explosions aren't that entertaining to people who's brains aren't synonymous with that of monkeys. I'd rather watch somebody defecating than watch a Michael Bay film. Actually its about the same as watching somebody defecate, so I guess it doesn't really matter which option you choose.
Such a heartwarming interview. I love to see Mr. Lucas talk about stuff other than Star Wars. He's just a simple man trying to make his way through this rough world we call reality.
George deserves more credit. I mean honestly, he is a different breed of film maker. I'm just glad that he was even able to tell the story he was able to.
I loved all of the Star Wars films, I grew up with the prequels and sure they did have a couple of downsides but on the whole I loved the entire saga, George is a brilliant filmmaker and the new film has brought back so much nostalgia for me.
The problem with people who hate the prequels so much is they just don't realise that Lucas didn't make them for fans of the originals or fanboys in general. He was making them with the same attitude he made the original with before it had any fans whatsoever. He wanted to tell a story he found interesting, that he believed in and displayed values he believed in. Then people whose whole world seems to revolve around Star Wars couldn't understand that Lucas cares about other things sometimes, couldn't understand the philosophy behind the films and how they were made and as a result decided to make him Public Enemy No. 1. And its completely undeserved.
I love what Geoge Lucas has done with Star Wars. Screw the haters, they are mostly nerds who can never be satisfied and always find stuff to complain about.
@@phantomprism7659 Han shooting first, Hayden's ghost in RoTJ, and the additional "Nooo"s kind of ruined the final cuts for me. Other than that, I love them. I can forgive the Han shooting first and watch the DVDs of the early 2000 master release. I like the Ewok blinking he added to the new BluRays a lot! I actually love Episode I and III. Not much of a fan of Episode II other than the Naboo atmosphere and Tatooine mission. Disney Star Wars does not exist.
@@Czotie Noice opinion. What do think of mine. Han shooting first was meh. But I didn’t even notice when I watched the film for the first time. The “noo” felt too much like it was added in post. I like ep 1 because of nostalgia. I like ep 2 because of Geonosis and Jango. I like ep 3 because of the action I like ep 4 because it’s ep 4 I like ep 5 because of the story I like ep 6 because of the ending I like 7 because it introduced me to Star Wars I like ep 8 because of the jokes I think ep 9 is dogshit. Blinking Ewoks are amazing
@@ybk6858 It’s a pretty funny story. After we watched it we bought ep1-6 and started watching them so we could understand the story. And I really liked them. But the funny thing is that you dont need to watch ep1-6 to get what is going on in ep7 because the worldbuilding in ep7 is horrible.
It pains me to see such a kind and passionate man like Lucas get so much hate. He is simply a man that embraces the kid in him in his filmmaking. Hate his films or not, this man is/was just doing what he loves and striving for mastery, fueled by passion. Nothing but love for this man.
@@MrZackavellibecause his films are different than your typical mainstream films. He was an indie filmmaker, not a corporate one. He never goes by the polls, what would be the most popular approach, he goes by what he feels is good for the story he’s telling, even if it isn’t the best idea. If it works, it works. That’s why I love and respect this man.
How can anybody dislike that man? I have been so grateful to George Lucas my whole life. The man *is* Star Wars. People who bash him, or his ideas...I just can't fathom it. He's a good person and great storyteller.
While the prequels weren't near as good as the originals, I still respect Lucas for the risks he took with them. Plus, he has never seemed rude or mean before, just tired, which makes sense for his work.
When you were asked why you chose to make this movie, you said: "I'd always wanted to see a movie like this and no one's ever made it. And I figured if somebody did, and did it well, then everyone would try to copy it, and then I could sit back and relax and watch the copies." This part cracks me up XD
The whole two suns tatooine symbolism to me was; you cannot avoid destiny. Anakin was from tatooine and Luke was raised in tatooine. In episode 3, Owen Lars holds Luke as a baby and does the same pose we later on see in episode 4 where Luke raises his foot into the rock staring off into the sunset. Why? Because no matter how hard Luke tried to avoid the obvious he was always falling back into the road that lead him to be who he is, just like his father. Yoda (who's never wrong btw) said if you leave your training right now you will encounter pain and suffering. Also, when he went into the cave he saw darth vader and when he defeated him, the guy behind the mask was Luke. Lastly, in episode 1, Anakin's mom tells Anakin right before leaving with Qui Gon, "you cannot avoid your destiny just like you cannot stop the suns from setting."(somewhere between those lines.) So in my perspective; sunset means, you cannot avoid your fate.
My brother went to Berkeley and majored in film studies. He met an awesome connection at Lucas Arts studios and he gave us a tour. We toured the whole facility and right as he was leading us out, Lucas himself walked by (with two suits on both sides of him). I actually bumped into him and said sorry, and he said “oh I’m sorry too!” Even though I actually never “met” him I’ll never forget that. Even the guy giving us the tour was surprised because apparently he hardly ever visited that area
Best question/answer was about the sunrise/sunset shots. Can't believe Seth pulled out the THX 1138 reference - and George's answer was surprisingly deep. Would have loved more of that in this interview.
The new movie was so trash people are watching more OLD Star Wars stuff like this to try and remember Star Wars. Therefore the algorithm starts suggesting it to anyone logged as Star Wars fans
9:23 “Life begins at 40, cuz you’re either dead or you’re so burned out that you can’t think about what you’ve been doing and you sort of wander into a whole other vocation.” I’m 36 and my life has already fallen apart once, hence the burnout, and I wandered into a different vocation (from education to 2D animation) and made me realize how important family is……it’s like he knows. Life is weird.
"I come up with an idea and I just want to see it. And in the worst possible situations, I've had to make it myself. And in the best of all possible situations I've gotten Steven Spielberg to make it." LOL. Crazy he never got Steven Spielberg to direct a Star Wars movie.
I remember once reading an interview with George Lucas shortly after the first Star Wars movie was released where he said "I created Star Wars because the only hero's kids have today are Kojak and The Six Million Dollar Man." He nailed it.
Two brilliant creative minds get together for an interview, and the pretentious snarks on TH-cam whine incessantly about it like a bunch of pissy little kids. Why am I not surprised?
It's cool to see Lucas loves his family so much. I kind a feel like Seth struggles a lot in his personal life, especially since he says he feels like he's always working. I think he asked Lucas how he separated work and leisure time because Seth internally is trying to understand how he can do the same.
I love George's eyes. He's old now but even now, you can see the softness in it. He looks so innocent that it would hurt to know he's secretly a mean guy.
George has become my inspiration starting adulthood. The whole wanting to make something because no one else had done it is what got me into art, and to see that he has a similar mindset is inspiring
I’ve never hated George Lucas, ever since I watched those making of dvd extras as a kid and to me he seemed like this super smart dude that made amazing films that no else had ever made before, and he did because he loved it which was the most inspirational part. Mad respect.
It’s funny how George Lucas is hilarious in this interview as he is usually serious. he is a inspiration to film makers and television creators everywhere. I grew up on Star Wars and auditioned for a part in one of the movies
Thx deery, i did enjoy this. Saw the last movie a few days back, loved it. Saw the first one way back in the day, all came full circle, the force moves beyond. Sure glad george made that movie he wanted to see :)
That is the happiest I have ever seen George Lucas. Damn, it's so nice to see him loose like that. I was surprised because it is post prequels, and he had heard so much negative stuff, yet came out of it like this. Awesome
@@harvillex4284 Or it would be a million ways to die in the wild west or whatever the fuck the title was. If you think J.J. and Johnson didn't have love for the franchise you're delusional. Their choices for the story came from a place of love. Any actual problems came from a lack of plan.
@@jackthegreek6092 honestly...you make it sound that A million ways to die in the west is a worse movie than the sequels...honestly i like A million Ways...can't say the same for the first 2 in the sequels...1 was a 6 honestly... ROTS ....Skywalker is a 5. But honestly...at least a Million Ways actually had a story and planning!! Since you want to bash that PARTICULAR movie.

Yeah, he's not a bad guy he just decided to not collaborate on the prequel trilogy.
Which was the worst (Star Wars) decision he ever made IMO.

Same. I was born around the time of the prequels, but I saw the originals first. I love all 7 films.
The problem with people who hate the prequels so much is they just don't realise that Lucas didn't make them for fans of the originals or fanboys in general. He was making them with the same attitude he made the original with before it had any fans whatsoever. He wanted to tell a story he found interesting, that he believed in and displayed values he believed in. Then people whose whole world seems to revolve around Star Wars couldn't understand that Lucas cares about other things sometimes, couldn't understand the philosophy behind the films and how they were made and as a result decided to make him Public Enemy No. 1. And its completely undeserved.
The prequels have problems, but the only one I hated was Attack of the Clones.
Liam Redmond still doesn't make them good
No but it completely debunks a lot of the reasons why people think they're bad and levels the playing field a bit.
Doesnt make them bad either.... are you people even SW fans or movie fans? Have no clue who Hitchcock or Kirasowa is ..... ass.
He also just wanted to sale toys.
"I can fall asleep for weeks, months, or years and nobody notices."
It's true. Prior to Disney acquiring Lucasfilm, he just kind of popped in and out of the frame every few years.
I love what Geoge Lucas has done with Star Wars. Screw the haters, they are mostly nerds who can never be satisfied and always find stuff to complain about.
Billy Blaster the only change that I absoluted hated was trying to make it look like Han didn't shoot first. totally ruined the character
@@phantomprism7659 Han shooting first, Hayden's ghost in RoTJ, and the additional "Nooo"s kind of ruined the final cuts for me. Other than that, I love them.
I can forgive the Han shooting first and watch the DVDs of the early 2000 master release. I like the Ewok blinking he added to the new BluRays a lot!
I actually love Episode I and III. Not much of a fan of Episode II other than the Naboo atmosphere and Tatooine mission.
Disney Star Wars does not exist.
@@Czotie Noice opinion. What do think of mine.
Han shooting first was meh. But I didn’t even notice when I watched the film for the first time. The “noo” felt too much like it was added in post.
I like ep 1 because of nostalgia.
I like ep 2 because of Geonosis and Jango.
I like ep 3 because of the action
I like ep 4 because it’s ep 4
I like ep 5 because of the story
I like ep 6 because of the ending
I like 7 because it introduced me to Star Wars
I like ep 8 because of the jokes
I think ep 9 is dogshit.
Blinking Ewoks are amazing
@@ova524 episode 7 introduced you to star wars. well I am certainly really sorry my friend.
@@ybk6858 It’s a pretty funny story. After we watched it we bought ep1-6 and started watching them so we could understand the story. And I really liked them. But the funny thing is that you dont need to watch ep1-6 to get what is going on in ep7 because the worldbuilding in ep7 is horrible.
How tf could TH-cam hide this gem from the recommendation system for 11 years?! This was the best interview (without Eric Andre) I've ever seen!
Because star wars is trending now
It pains me to see such a kind and passionate man like Lucas get so much hate. He is simply a man that embraces the kid in him in his filmmaking. Hate his films or not, this man is/was just doing what he loves and striving for mastery, fueled by passion. Nothing but love for this man.
Why would anyone hate his films?
@@MrZackavellibecause his films are different than your typical mainstream films. He was an indie filmmaker, not a corporate one. He never goes by the polls, what would be the most popular approach, he goes by what he feels is good for the story he’s telling, even if it isn’t the best idea. If it works, it works. That’s why I love and respect this man.
George Lucas seems like such a sweet, honest, humble guy, I wanna be friends with George Lucas.
How can anybody dislike that man? I have been so grateful to George Lucas my whole life. The man *is* Star Wars. People who bash him, or his ideas...I just can't fathom it. He's a good person and great storyteller.
The haters just have small dicks
i think Lucas is kind of stunned that he created fiction that spawned so much fandom and inspiration.
Anybody would be stunned if their creation spawned so much of that.
George probably appreciated those interview the most. Mostly because it wasn’t Star Wars focused and just a mix of both
that's funny, i watch family guy while i play star wars battlefront 2.
No! He's alive. Search your feelings you know it's true
While the prequels weren't near as good as the originals, I still respect Lucas for the risks he took with them. Plus, he has never seemed rude or mean before, just tired, which makes sense for his work.
Too old to direct the Prequels as he did with the OT.
That's also the reason he sold it to the Slavers. 🤣
Prequels are better than originals.
George says he did it out of love.. A word Disney refuses to acknowledge.
I dont think they even know what that word is lol
Or obsessive fans, you may note.
reignofrock It’s not that they can’t acknowledge it , it’s that if you don’t know what Love is how can u , they r driven strictly by profit.
The only word Disney acknowledges is "money"
They thought it automatically came up with the brand.
Great man, great father. Prorities in order. Thanks for so many classic films.
If you close your eyes and listen to the interview, you imagine Brian Griffin interviewing George Lucas 😂😂
When you were asked why you chose to make this movie, you said: "I'd always wanted to see a movie like this and no one's ever made it. And I figured if somebody did, and did it well, then everyone would try to copy it, and then I could sit back and relax and watch the copies."
This part cracks me up XD
The whole two suns tatooine symbolism to me was; you cannot avoid destiny. Anakin was from tatooine and Luke was raised in tatooine. In episode 3, Owen Lars holds Luke as a baby and does the same pose we later on see in episode 4 where Luke raises his foot into the rock staring off into the sunset.
Why? Because no matter how hard Luke tried to avoid the obvious he was always falling back into the road that lead him to be who he is, just like his father.
Yoda (who's never wrong btw) said if you leave your training right now you will encounter pain and suffering. Also, when he went into the cave he saw darth vader and when he defeated him, the guy behind the mask was Luke.
Lastly, in episode 1, Anakin's mom tells Anakin right before leaving with Qui Gon, "you cannot avoid your destiny just like you cannot stop the suns from setting."(somewhere between those lines.)
So in my perspective; sunset means, you cannot avoid your fate.
+Vilma Salamanca had a likewise thought like this!
+Vilma Salamanca you right but I'm sure Luke was able to change his destiny.
I am going to actually post videos lol
+Vilma Salamanca Lucas just explained it means change.
So you entire interpretation is based on the prequels, which is fine but completely flawed taken production order and intention into account.
My brother went to Berkeley and majored in film studies. He met an awesome connection at Lucas Arts studios and he gave us a tour. We toured the whole facility and right as he was leading us out, Lucas himself walked by (with two suits on both sides of him). I actually bumped into him and said sorry, and he said “oh I’m sorry too!” Even though I actually never “met” him I’ll never forget that. Even the guy giving us the tour was surprised because apparently he hardly ever visited that area
Best question/answer was about the sunrise/sunset shots. Can't believe Seth pulled out the THX 1138 reference - and George's answer was surprisingly deep. Would have loved more of that in this interview.
What’s great about Lucas is that he has the ability to laugh at the weaknesses of his movies.
This randomly appear in anyone else’s recommendeds?
Wish we had George Lucas running Star Wars and not Disney.
That fan fic trash disguised as canon?
George wanted out, he got so much hate for the prequel trilogy. I personally don’t like that trilogy but I respect george
@@funtimes6406 you are correct. But you never know what you've got until it's gone.
@@funtimes6406 that's not why he is out, he is out because he wants to make art films and he wont burden his company to do it. Hence he sold it
DAVE FOX you are wrong to deem that correct lol
I love Lucas, his so cool, honest & humble
John Petan hes not humble lol
I love Seth’s Palpatine voice. Cracks me up every time. “Darth Syphilis!”
I've been on youtube for years, how is this only being recommended NOW? XD
Malicious Megan man this algorithm sucks
The new movie was so trash people are watching more OLD Star Wars stuff like this to try and remember Star Wars. Therefore the algorithm starts suggesting it to anyone logged as Star Wars fans
george looks so un happy im glade he retired so he can just relax with his family and friends
+AsSeenOnTV Yikes what did he say to trigger you?
This is the best TH-cam comment
@Robert Taylor Hell yes, awesome. Now I have to clean my tablet screen from all the soda I just spit all over it
9:23 “Life begins at 40, cuz you’re either dead or you’re so burned out that you can’t think about what you’ve been doing and you sort of wander into a whole other vocation.”
I’m 36 and my life has already fallen apart once, hence the burnout, and I wandered into a different vocation (from education to 2D animation) and made me realize how important family is……it’s like he knows. Life is weird.
"I come up with an idea and I just want to see it. And in the worst possible situations, I've had to make it myself. And in the best of all possible situations I've gotten Steven Spielberg to make it." LOL. Crazy he never got Steven Spielberg to direct a Star Wars movie.
I remember once reading an interview with George Lucas shortly after the first Star Wars movie was released where he said "I created Star Wars because the only hero's kids have today are Kojak and The Six Million Dollar Man." He nailed it.
GL is chill AF.
Two brilliant creative minds get together for an interview, and the pretentious snarks on TH-cam whine incessantly about it like a bunch of pissy little kids. Why am I not surprised?
9:01-9:13 “Star Wars holiday special”
The interview I never knew I needed 😂
It's cool to see Lucas loves his family so much. I kind a feel like Seth struggles a lot in his personal life, especially since he says he feels like he's always working. I think he asked Lucas how he separated work and leisure time because Seth internally is trying to understand how he can do the same.
the clone wars animated series was amazing
I don’t care what anybody says, George is cool. He always has been and always will be. I’d love to hang out with him and watch Jackass.
I have qualms with his film making, but even my cold heart can recognize his pure humanity.
Seth Macfarlane's so disappointed with the answer at 9:14 hahahahaha
I love George's eyes. He's old now but even now, you can see the softness in it. He looks so innocent that it would hurt to know he's secretly a mean guy.
George has become my inspiration starting adulthood.
The whole wanting to make something because no one else had done it is what got me into art, and to see that he has a similar mindset is inspiring
“Thanks for your time today George..... No problem, you’re welcome Brian.”
Man knows Star Wars bc he is Star Wars; Disney really took a bop on my childhood nostalgia
The most important filmmaker of the last 40 years for sure. Complete respect to this genius.
I’ve never hated George Lucas, ever since I watched those making of dvd extras as a kid and to me he seemed like this super smart dude that made amazing films that no else had ever made before, and he did because he loved it which was the most inspirational part. Mad respect.
at the end of the interview when George goes " goodluck" for some reason it cracked me up
George Lucas is a pretty honest person, I'm just grateful that he gave us Star Wars!
It’s funny how George Lucas is hilarious in this interview as he is usually serious. he is a inspiration to film makers and television creators everywhere. I grew up on Star Wars and auditioned for a part in one of the movies
Really? That's awesome! Which one was it?
I wish family guy make more star wars sequels & prequels too
Blue harvest prequels and then sequels lmao theres so much memeable shit in those movies that it could make for a great family guy thing
zyriuz2 There’s no way that Disney would allow for that to happen.
@@Fulllife3.2 right i forgot that disney isnt as chill as george is.
@@Fulllife3.2 They own both Star Wars and Family Guy, so they might allow it, or even insist upon it.
Thx deery, i did enjoy this.
Saw the last movie a few days back, loved it.
Saw the first one way back in the day, all came full circle,
the force moves beyond.
Sure glad george made that movie he wanted to see :)
George will be missed deeply, once he goes😔
George always seems like a really humble guy. Very respectable
You know, George is such a down to earth dude. What a great guy.
I know that's what I love about George! He maintains his simple composure despite the fact he created one of the most popular movies/stories EVER! lol
Seth: Do you ever watch your movies.
George: Yes, and every time I see something that I can change and make better.
George Lucas seems like he’s a stoner
His natural state is the altered state that others use drugs to achieve
@@fellowcitizen he's a god
He's seeing a galaxy far away
Doubt it. He isnt low energy enough to be a pothead.
brian interviews george lucas
I liked the prequels better
The prequels are the only star wars movies I own
#metoo, I also love the Clone Wars series.
I'd LOVE these guys to do a project together.
That is the happiest I have ever seen George Lucas. Damn, it's so nice to see him loose like that. I was surprised because it is post prequels, and he had heard so much negative stuff, yet came out of it like this. Awesome
Seth is asking all the questions that everyone wants to ask The almighty George Lucas
The guy donated 4 billion dollars in one go, how mutch have you haters donated?
£8.50 ...
jasse85 he donated only 2 billion...
jasse85 he may have donated 4 billion, but he also ruined everyones childhood
Ira ProV Yes 'de' did
Podrey Sanchez Hey man, everyone's childhood gets ruined eventually. Have you SEEN TMNT? lol.
love george lucas, quality writer. love his short films before star wars. they prove he is talented. and seems like a down to earth guy
Seth MacFarlane should have directed the sequel trilogy. More love
Sounds awful.
@@jackthegreek6092 would have better than jj and Johnson
@@harvillex4284 Or it would be a million ways to die in the wild west or whatever the fuck the title was. If you think J.J. and Johnson didn't have love for the franchise you're delusional. Their choices for the story came from a place of love. Any actual problems came from a lack of plan.
@@jackthegreek6092 honestly...you make it sound that A million ways to die in the west is a worse movie than the sequels...honestly i like A million Ways...can't say the same for the first 2 in the sequels...1 was a 6 honestly... ROTS ....Skywalker is a 5. But honestly...at least a Million Ways actually had a story and planning!! Since you want to bash that PARTICULAR movie.
@@Zarryon12 Wow. You actually like that movie. Than we honestly have nothing to talk about.
This doesn't feel like an interview, it's just two friends talking!
Can we appreciate how respectful an interviewer Seth is?
