quote:

Marcia Lucas (née Griffin) is an American film editor. She met George Lucas when Verna Fields hired her to work as an assistant editor to George while editing US Information Agency documentaries, and they were married between 1969 and 1983. They adopted one daughter, Amanda, who was born in 1981.

Marcia was a co-editor on A New Hope and Return of the Jedi (with some uncredited work on The Empire Strikes Back as well). She won an Academy Award for her work on A New Hope, which was shared with Paul Hirsch and Richard Chew.

That's the entire thing.

No kidding. Robot Chicken Sheev, best Sheev.

Also, I like that they just take the wind out of Boba Fett's sails whenever the chance, such as him sexually harassing Han while he's frozen or when he's stuck hallucinating while being digested in the Sarlaac.

It's fitting that a wiki dedicated to and accepting of all the horrible stuff in the Star Wars universe would have such a short article about the person most responsible for the first Star Wars being good.

Let's be fair, George saw the initial edit and realized it was a disaster, so he fired the original editor and hired her. He had enough common sense back then to make good decisions some of the time.

quote:

On Wednesday, George Lucas said that Empire Strikes Back was the worst film in the Star Wars series. Sometimes I’m not sure if Lucas is trying to be funny. In this case I really hope so. He can’t be that clueless, can he?

Empire Strikes BackEntertainment blogger David Poland recalls Lucas’ comment on Wednesday at the Publicist’s Guild luncheon: “George Lucas, giving the award to Sid Ganis, who was the in-house publicist on Star Wars: Episode Five – The Empire Strikes Back, said, ‘Sid is the reason why The Empire Strikes Back is always written about as the best of the films, when it actually was the worst one.'”

Empire is considered by many to be the best film in the series. The film has a user rating os a 8.8 with almost 150,000 votes, making it the 9th best film on imdb.com.

A lot of people don’t know this but Empire was actually directed by Irvin Kershner, and not Lucas. May-be George is just jealous? He can’t be serious, Can he?

Lucas should have employed someone to do the exact opposite of everything he said.

Apparently Jedi was narrowly more popular in theaters during the initial run. Maybe George measures goodness in midichlorians dollars?

Who is the character from the original trilogy with the craziest screentime-to-wookipedia ratio. Basically, whoever has the least screentime with the longest Wookipedia article. Bonus points if their wookipedia article is longer than a real-life equivalent Sort of like how the USS Enterprise from Star Trek has a longer Wikipedia article than the USS Enterprise in the US Navy.

Example:

IG-88 the droid bounty hunter gets ~4 seconds of screen time, but has a wookipedia page with 2,840 words.
Dog the Bounty hunter has a show spanning 7 years, but has a wikipedia page with only 1,600 words.

To be honest I feel that Empire really drags at some points, the whole bit with luke and yoda dicking about in the swamp is pretty slow and there is a lot of faffing about in cloud city before anything happens.

Huh, those are probably my favorite scenes in the trilogy, aside from the bit where Luke puts the final smackdown on Vader in ROTJ with that awesome musical cue.

I have a vague memory of reading a Star Wars book as a child. I think Chewbacca was the protagonist, and he was teamed up with some non-mammalian species that was only intelligent during the larval stage. The author went into a bit of detail about how once they become butterflies (or whatever) they turn into ravenous, mindless gently caress machines. Does anyone have any idea what story that might be, and/or the name of the species?

You were reading Han Solo and the Lost Legacy, and while Chewie is in it, he's not the main character. Also the species that did what you're talking about were called Ruurians, and the one that Han and Chewie were hanging out with was named Skynx.

Honestly those Han Solo books were pretty great compared to the bulk of EU crap. Helps that they're from like 1979. That particular book ended with Solo and Chewie finding a lost treasure ship full of the great war machines of some evil overlord, and then realizing it was all worthless because technological progression had rendered everything in the ship obsolete.
