Generally, their ideas align to form a very good core that resonates with the audience, but they can randomly get up their own ass about something and just go off track to produce/influence something very meh. <cite>Nemu posted [p:968866885] in Is George ...

God_of_6strings 10/22/22 12:17:19 AM #10:	Kloe_Rinz posted... They seem like generic space fiction to me They seem generic today, because they set the new standard in the 70s and 80s. One good example is before Star Wars, all space flicks had settings where the ships, buildings, and clothing were all shiny and brand new, because futuristic!. Star Wars gave us a world that let us know that even though this is a world with futuristic technology, it has been lived in. The man-made things in his world were old, used, rusty, dilapidated, and worn. He brought a sense of realism to a genre that before, had been full of "shiny" tropes. <cite>God_of_6strings posted [p:968885261] in Is George ...

God_of_6strings 10/22/22 12:26:34 AM #13:	ThePrinceFish posted... Fantastic world builder I definitely think this is the case. No matter what anyone says, the prequels hold a special place in my heart, because the world building was still amazing. The Disney movies have always come up short in this aspect. There was that planet covered with salt on the surface, but it just looked like Hoth, and didn't do much other than make pretty contrasts of colors in the battle scene. <cite>God_of_6strings posted [p:968885393] in Is George ...

CassandraCroft 10/22/22 12:37:39 AM #14:	Genius??!! Excuse me whilst I laugh at that. Star Wars is complete shit (I have watched episodes 4 - 6 many times) compared to the utter brilliance that Gene Roddenberry gave us in the far far far superior Star Trek. If anyone is the creative genius in Science-Fiction it is Roddenberry. Give me the The United Federation Of Planets, Starfleet and The USS Enterprise anyday over the crap Rebels and Empire. --- All your base are belong to us. Been gaming since 1979.

Southernfatman 10/22/22 8:43:15 AM #23:	Genius might be going too far, but he's very good. If i were making a movie and had a team of of people to help me I'd love to have him on it. I wouldn't give him full free rein though. Despite much of his questionable decisions over the years, he still created the world of Star Wars and partly Indiana Jones too. It's why I could never hate the guy like many fans and was more dissapointed in him. That and he seems like a nice enough guy too. I almost felt bad for him at times. --- http://i.imgur.com/hslUvRN.jpg When I sin I sin real good. <cite>Southernfatman posted [p:968889613] in Is George ...
