I didn’t know any of that. Wow.

George Lucas did heaps for the revolution in special effects that made the Star Wars franchise so important to cinematography but he screwed it up in nearly every other aspect.

In terms of script-writing, the Clone Wars animated spinoff series eclipses anything Lucas created after ‘Empire’.

I really hope in Disney’s hands Star Wars gets better.

A sentence I thought I’d never type, let alone think.

Yep. It’s from here:

We at Cracked present to you Revenge of the Jedi directed by Steven Fucking Spielberg. Yep, that’s who we would have gotten had it not been for Lucas’ dispute with the union. And we’re talking 1982 Spielberg, a man in the middle of a run that included Raiders of the Lost Ark, Poltergeist, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Try to wrap your mind around how awesome this would’ve been: Yoda’s death was nearly staged by the same man who shot E.T. The rancor was almost handed to the same man who directed Jurassic Park. The Battle of Endor and the attack on the shield generator were nearly captured by the same dude who won an Oscar for Saving Private Ryan.

Oh, and the sarlacc battle, and with it Boba Fett’s painfully disappointing death? That was nearly storyboarded, choreographed, and lodged into Star Wars lore by the same Steven Spielberg who directed (the famous truck) fight in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

There are no words in English to describe the awesomeness that might have been.
