 pointing out that the Starfish sequels are in fact for sale on Amazon, and that I bought and appreciated them. Enjoyed is not a word I would use, but Watts writing 'yup the whole world is poo poo / hosed and prob. deserves it' is worth the read.

i got hired to ghost write watts' new novel and it's under a serious nda but i'll post the prologue here: even though free will is an illusion and choice doesn't exist i'm pretty sure i can somehow blame the current problem on capitalism and the following events and characters don't matter because everyone is going to die and i'm glad haha

But then a phantom menace struck. George Lucas would periodically check in on the status of the games his company was making, lending creative input and advice. The developer I talked to sighs, and agitatedly says, “In one viewing of Fracture, [Lucas] said it looked really good, but he didn’t like [Mason Briggs’] name. We’re like, ‘What do you mean, George?’ He responded to the effect of, ‘It doesn’t really fit. When he jumps on stuff, he moves pretty fast. I like B.J. Dart.’ “So everybody’s like, ‘No, he’s gotta be f---ing with us.’ He’s absolutely not. So when something like that happened – in the middle of the campaign, mind you – we have to go back through that entire naming convention again… from scratch.” From that second session, Jet Brody was born. Coincidentally. Jett is the name of Lucas’ son. A similar situation arose with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’s protagonist, Starkiller. “[That name] was only supposed to be a nickname or call sign, not a proper name from the beginning,” a former LucasArts employee says. The development team hoped that Lucas would give Vader’s apprentice a Darth moniker, which at the time, was something that didn’t happen often. “The team threw a Hail Mary to George, saying the game would have more credibility if the apprentice had a ‘Darth’ title,” a Force Unleashed team member says. Lucas agreed that this situation made sense for Sith royalty, and offered up two Darth titles for the team to choose from. “He threw out ‘Darth Icky’ and ‘Darth Insanius.’ There was a pregnant pause in the room after that. People waiting for George to say ‘just kidding,’ but it never comes, and he just moved on to another point.”

The guy has earned having at least a little input. But after reading this... I just hope someone leaks George's episode VII ideas because I know that any garbage that he came up with will exceed the ability of my imagination to fill in the gaps.

george lucas is good at setting up iconic shots, the hero looking over the horizon, vader reaching during the father speech, the forbidden wedding the only scene that comes close in the new one is the gal farting around with the old space helmet
