Speaking of Ewoks, this cartoon set right around the end of ROTJ addresses a major thing about them. The title is "An Imperial Feast". https://twitter.com/starwars/status/925044644643143681 Also, Hera and Chopper are in it too.

Ingmar terdman posted:If anyone has this entire post handy, I haven't read it in a year or two During a Q&A with George Lucas: Tim’s time finally comes, and it looks like he will be the second to the last question. He approaches the mic and starts his question - or more correctly his explanation. He goes on about how he always felt the strength of the films was in the protagonists, and how thoughts of Luke, Leia, Han and Chewey always helped get him through sad times because they were such fun and life-embracing people (people, not characters). I can’t even paraphrase everything he said, or how his excitement and joy grew with each word, but after a couple of minutes he finally got to the question. “So, basically, my question is to ask what happened to them after Jedi. Did they stay friends? Go on more adventures? Did they ever have kids of their own?” This whole time George has been sitting in his chair with the table and water at his side on the stage in front of the screen. He doesn’t move or blink during the question, and appears to be giving Tim his rapt attention. After Tim finishes, he looks up for a moment or two in a “pondering” pose, then looks back and slowly says “They died.” He then turns to the other aisle for the final question. Tim just sort of slowly stood at the mic after that. I couldn’t see his face, but his entire body just sort of slumped. The person in the other aisle just quietly said “I think you answered my question already” and went back to his seat. The theater was pitch quiet, Lucas had turned back to face the center of the theater and took a sip of water, and the professor just sort of slowly walked forward and said “If there are no more questions, lets take our break and start the film in ten minutes.” [I sadly don't recall who wrote this originally. This copy was from Neil Cicierega's blog.]

i adore 'they died' as an answer because it's really the logical conclusion to fandom-y treating fictional stories as historical documents and treating characters as real people

Whether or not the story itself is true, what it tells us about George Lucas' character and approach to Star Wars is brutally accurate.

Speaking of quotes from George Lucas, anyone have that one interview Lucas gave back in the early '80s, plainly explaining his then-current conception of how the Force worked, with it essentially boiling down to: (1) the Force is generated by and connected to all life in the galaxy (i.e. no mention of space germs) and (2) anyone can learn to use the Force with enough time, patience, and the right training.

I said this before but George Lucas is the best simply because he doesn't take Star Wars as seriously as Star Wars fans do. Watch any behind the scenes stuff, and he's more likely to call them "laser swords" than "lightsabers", and he freaking invented the name. I remember a couple of years ago at a Star Wars fan film convention, people got upset at him for picking, as the fan film of the year, a animated short about a child singing about getting a Boba Fett action figure. Fans thought it was disrespectful that he would choose that over something that expanded the lore and used SFX.

I don't buy that, if only because I don't think you can create a series over the course of six films and however many decades and not take it seriously. However, there's certainly a difference between him and the typical fan about what they find important within the films.

George Lucas strikes me as the sort of guy who likes to gently caress with people. Got a deadpan sense of humor and doesn't particularly care if nobody else gets the joke.

It amazes me how people think he was serious when they roped him into some meeting about the Force Unleashed and he wanted to use names like Darth Icky or Insanius.
