George Lucas cares (or cared) hugely about Star Wars, but not at all in the sense of fiction being "gossip about imaginary people" which really drives EU-building, etc.

Schwarzwald posted: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. He took it seriously, but he was also able to poke fun at it as well. Robot Chicken, The Family Guy specials. I knew of people who were upset at these, because they felt it disrespected the story.

Davros1 posted: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. A bunch of writers and creatives I've seen take their work very seriously but get used to calling the objects by their archetypes for a myriad of reasons. Sometimes it's because it's more intuitive to refer by other names, sometimes it's because that's how it was the script for a long time before they cemented the final name and that's how it stuck in their brains.

It's possible Gayatri Spivak said it at some well-known talk or conference pre-internet, though it's surprising it doesn't turn up in any authentic-looking Google Books. I did find this paragraph from her introduction to Derrida's "Of Grammatology" which says something similar, but obviously it's a lot heavier in analytical language and a lot less snappy. quote:Traditional textual interpretation founds itself on this particular under-standing of metaphor: a

That he doesn't particularly care if anyone else gets what he's doing, joke or not, is evident with the prequels; recall the stories about the panic he caused everyone around him with The Phantom Menace when they felt no one was going to go see it.

I really do like that after leaving his cowardly liberal family and their culture behind, he gave up the name they gave him, Ben, and adopted a new name more suitable to his new political outlook: Kyle.
