I tried watching this for the first time sometime last year and as soon as I got to that line I was pretty grossed out and put something else on. They could have written her as a 20 something year old but chose not to, pretty nasty if you ask me!

Coolness Averted posted:-but it's probably more likely he was a brilliant innovator in terms of special effects, but a terrible writer who doesn't understand pacing, how to make those neat set pieces he thinks up string together, or how human interaction works but got extremely lucky with the right combination of people who tweaked his ideas and laughed at him when he had terrible dialogue early on, but then everyone kowtowed later. my theory is that Lucas is the greatest 2nd banana in the world, and as long as he had 1-2 other people to collaborate with was solid gold. but when you leave him alone to come up with ideas you get ewoks and weird fetishes and everything in the prequels. all his best movies are ones where other people had strong creative input.

I'd still rather watch the prequels on repeat for a weekend than ever watch episodes 7 or 8 again (I refuse to watch 9 unless I'm with friends or it'll get me laid)

christmas boots posted:He created one of the biggest film franchises in history, will go down in history as a pivotal figure in the New Hollywood movement I consider ’Easy Riders, Raging Bulls’ the authority on this period, and although he gets a bit of coverage in it, he comes across as a non-factor compared to the heavyweights. All his kudos comes from the amount of money his films generated, which certainly generated a lot of jealousy from his contemporaries, and adulation from guys in suits. I’d argue that there was a lot of luck behind the zeitgeist being ready for Wizards In World War II In Space. christmas boots posted:Even in the interpretation that Lucas is constantly trolling, you’ve still got Harrison Ford explicitly calling him out for being poo poo at writing dialogue. I’m not sure if Harrison Ford being a very mediocre actor mitigates or exacerbates this point. (You made interesting comments, I’m not picking on you)

His best friend is a Chinese kid! Why do you think he was best friends with a Chinese kid though?

He's got Patrick Stewart level ability to sell the shitiest dialogue and most contrived situations in the world and make you believe it. Dude spent 3 movies chatting with another character whose only lines are "RAWR" and despite knowing none of it is real I still believe in my heart that they are besties.

where are you getting this that harrison ford is a good actor just getting crap roles? he was really, really bad in indy 4, he had a string of movies where he was just a tired old man, he phoned it in the Star Wars (which ones lolol). generally speaking im never excited to see him in stuff now, he seems like some old guy with a pension who doesn't need to work and is annoyed he's even doing it. maybe im just clouded by his recent decades. Outside of bladerunner/indy/starwar I mostly don't remember young-ford in anything.

IIRC the only thing Han Solo did in the original trilogy to make him a rogue/maverick/scoundrel was shooting first. In the corrected versions he didn't. Smuggling poo poo in a fascist empire is pretty heroic so we must assume his scoundrelness stems from smuggling kids to the Hutts and other perverts.
