Une interview de George Lucas
A l'occasion de la sortie du dessin animé The Clone War, George Lucas est en interview sur le site walesonline. En fait, c'ets une sorte d'article avec citations. Je vous mets le début :
"George Lucas was offered just $3 for his first Star Wars script. Today, the directing giant is exploring a new world of TV and animation. Ellie Genower reports...
BACK in the mid-1970s, a young writer-director called George Lucas was struggling to get his grand space opera movie made.
Disappointing box office returns for his films THX-1138 and American Graffiti meant he didn’t hold out much hope that his family saga set in space would ever even make it into cinemas, let alone win any popularity contests.
“The original Star Wars was one movie and I wrote a back story and script to it which came out to 200 or so pages,” George recalls.
“I couldn’t do it because they only gave me $3. So I cut it up and put the other acts on the shelf. My assumption was it was going to fail, because at this point in my career, I had done THX, which had failed, and American Graffiti which they wouldn’t even release because they felt it was so bad.
“And now I was doing this crazy wacky thing. A studio executive said: ‘I don’t understand what you’re doing. I don’t understand the story. I don’t get seven-foot dogs and robots talking. It doesn’t make sense. But I like you and I think you’re very talented and you’re going to go someplace’.
“So I figure, I’ve got a shot. I’ll do this, and then somehow, I will get these other two films made, but it’s going to be a struggle to convince people to spend more money on something that didn’t make any money,” he adds.
“So when it was a hit, I was the most surprised of anybody.”"

Ca tombe très bien ça. Je viens de faire une analyse assez iconoclaste de Star Wars sur mon blog, à propos de comment Lucas se réapproprie les concepts Moorcockien.

Hum... Pas été frappée par un truc du genre... mais, par contre, mon Grand, qui est plutôt fan de l'univers, a déclaré, déçu, que les dessins étaient plus nuls que dans les jeux videos et que ça n'avait pas l'air bien.Lensman a écrit :J'ai vu la bande annonce de "La guerre des clones" au cinéma... avec des couleurs... des couleurs... j'ai cru que mes yeux allaient se mette à saigner... A mon avis, les spectateurs vont devenir aveugles, ça va faire des histoires...

Et je suis assez d'accord avec son analyse : pour notre époque, les graphismes sont assez médiocres...

Il parait que le réal' est un fan des Thunderbirds, d'où le style pour le moins minimaliste des designs des perso et de l'animation...

I've imagined many things... For example, what kind of dreams would you have in a spaceship flying at the speed of light...? With time drawn out infinitely, it might be a terrifying, unending dream...
