Happy StarWarsDay! Revisit our 1983 'Return of the Jedi' cover with George Lucas.
Another Lucas constant might best be termed a kind of genuine ingenuousness. For example, he can discuss the lifestyles and cultures of the various creatures he has brought to life on film like an anthropologist who’s just returned from the field.
But now it’s done. I have to decide one way or the other about doing another trilogy. It depends on how well this one does, what the economics of the situation are and what my personal life is. Can I rearrange my life in such a way that my priorities are correct? My family should be first and the movies second. If I can’t make that work, then there won’t be any movies. I’ve put up withtaking over and pushing itself into the first position for too long. I’ve been trying to shove it back.
It was designed for all the stories to come together. Stylistically, all the films are designed to have a big climax, and this one’s sort of got everything in it. When we started, we said: ”Okay, now we’re gonna do it the way we always wanted to do it. We’ve got the money, we’ve got the knowledge – this is it.” The first film was like graduating from high school, the second film was like graduating from college, and this was like getting our master’s degree.
Each film has accomplishments that I like. It’s not that I didn’t like the movies, but that if I look at them now, each one falls a bit short of what I had hoped it to be – because I guess I either set my sights a little bit lower, or we actually do get a little bit better.] and say, ”Oh, that’s what he wanted the cantina [in] to be.” Or you look at the end battle, and you say, ”Oh, that’s what the end battle was supposed to be in the first one.” But we couldn’t havethis movie then.
Last night on the local news, the commentator winked at the camera and said there were rumors that Darth Vader might not be such a bad guy after all. We weren’t really trying to top ourselves. I was sort of concerned that there wasn’t really very much new in this one. It was like the same old space battle, the same old crowd battle, more monsters, more in the cantina scene. But again, the original film was designed with all that stuff in it, and we couldn’t afford to do it.
