![]() ![]() I didn’t like the first script, but I gave Leigh credit because I liked her a lot. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out she turned in the first draft, and then she passed away. >Writing has never been something I have enjoyed, and so, ultimately, on the second film I hired Leigh Brackett. George Lucas quote from Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays: Still, he sure as hell can call things right, too. He should have listened to warnings that Indiana Jones surviving a nuke in a fridge wouldn't go over with audiences. BLUEHARVEST LEIA HOLOGRAM GIF SERIESThen by the end of the series both Ahsoka and Ashley are among the darlings of the fandom. They even warned Ashley she'd get some hate for voicing the character. She was called everything from a Mary Sue to superfluous to impossible to reconcile with established canon. Lucas knew she'd be unpopular with a very vocal segment of the fans at first. Not everyone would have attempted introducing the character of Ahsoka Tano (some people wish they never did but that is beside the point). And, really, he showed a quality not often seen in the entertainment industry, at least at the top: he was willing to take a chance. Some things didn't work to his satisfaction, or some ideas were changed before final production (such as reversing the decision to include Darth Revan and Bane in Mortis), and he made those calls. He got to share stories with the staff verbally, talk about his ideas, and then let others bring it into focus under his guidance. All I'll add is at least with TCWs he was deeper in his comfort zone. I've got nothing to add to this oft repeated thread drama.

They weren't inherently better than droids, just because they were human. ![]() So yeah that 2003 scene was pretty great, but ultimately we're watching a mostly silent, personality-less soldier fight off droids like a God, whereas TCW took more effort to show the humanization, and the vulnerability of the Clones. Except unlike Fordo, we've heard this guy talk, learned his name properly, and we see him in a fucked up situation where he isn't invincible, his stand eventually ends. Take this webm for example, it almost feels like a tribute/homage to the Fordo standoff. Oh don't get me wrong, Fordo was badass, yes.īut having him be an almost-Mute Terminator is certainly not what TCW was trying to show with who the Clones really were.įordo was only "unique" in the he was actually one of the first named Clones, when Lucas just figuring out the idea that the Clones should be treated like individuals. >what do you mean, I will always prefer badass troopers fighting to the death and giving their all, this bastard held the line by himself for a solid 30 seconds until Yoda showed up (When of course the last time he faced the situation of someone he wanted to keep conflicting with his own wishes for them, he choked the hell out of his wife rather than let her go if that's what she wanted.) ![]() >It's only when Anakin finally says "I can't keep control of the galaxy and I can't force my son to serve my wishes and stand at my side like I want, because that path will kill him like it killed his mother, and I love him and want what's best for him even if that means I don't get to keep him" that it all finally ends. That's basically the "attachment is the cause of suffering" philosophy right there on the screen. Anakin just couldn't make peace with that because he needed to keep things how they were and have control of everything, and because he fought what couldn't be fought, he destroyed himself, Padme, and the galaxy. >It is actually pretty possible to care about people and treat them kindly while accepting that eventually they will pass out of your life, either through changing circumstances or death. >This is why you have Shmi talking to Anakin about accepting that things will change in your life, and TCW episodes that talk about the importance of being able to let go of things when the time comes and accept that you can't keep control of everything. >The concept of "attachment" used by the Jedi in the prequels and other canon materials (such as TCW and Depa's speech in the Kanan comics), as well as what Lucas has said IRL about it, is based on the Buddhist concept of attachment, not the casually used Western definition of "caring about anything." This post I found(and copied part of my sentence from) explains it really well with a few examples: The Buddhist idea of attachment is that it is the cause of all suffering. ![]()
