Dear Mr. Lucas,
I understand you intend to make the next three films happen BEFORE the current trilogy during the period you called, "The Clone War." No doubt you already realize the peril of doing the next films before the first three. No major character can really change from the final form that we've already seen. Darth Vader is doomed to fall to the dark side of the force, and Obi Wan is equally doomed to become an old desert goat on a forgotten planet. Now in some ways, this is a bold idea. If told right it could ring with a certain grand tragedy. The trouble is action adventure as a genre does not lend itself to well tragedy.
Mr. Lucas, no doubt you've already seen the answer to the problem. The very phrase "clone war" seems to lend itself to a massive dramatic out. The characters CAN die, just bring them back as clone of themselves. Perhaps this could be a contributing reason why Luke's father turned to the dark side. Dying can really screw you up.
I wish you must success for your new trilogy. I'm sure you will have more strongly scripted stories, and will avoid cartoony comic reliefs like C3PO. Afterall, the only thing that would be more annoying than a prancing gay stereotype disguised as a robot would be .. oh I don't know.. a minstrel show black stereotype cleverly disguised as an alien. Thank the Maker you have better taste than that.
May the force be with you,
Billie Fanboy
STRANGE SPANNERS being an accounting of strangeness of the warp and woof of my mind For those of you new here, think of this as 1/2 "Night Gallery" Our Motto: Nos somnium quisnam es futurus fatum quod insolitus tutus vos!
Dear Mr Fanboy,
ReplyDeleteAn alien that sounds like a mistrel sterotype? That is a great idea. Thank you for the wonderful suggestion. I'll tell the slaves on my ranch to start working on the character designs asap.
May The Force Be With You,
George Lucas
lol well I suppose it could be worse. Lucas could have been dyslexic and came up with a menstrual stereotype.
