So I can completely see his point that it's not his genre. Plus it would be very odd of him to pick up George's cast-offs, both for him on a personal level and for the film's production - the two are too close, he'd always be compared to his best friend by the press and reviews. |

More like journalists who from now until the Director is officially announced will ask every single Director under the sun if they would be interested in doing SW 7. I bet they will even ask Uwe Boll if the occasion arises, for sh* and giggles. |

And I wouldn't say political as that suggests something sneaky. I'd say he was being poilte. I agree with you that he could direct a great Star Wars film if he were so inclined. But of course he doesn't feel comfortable taking on his best friend's passion project. This is his way of saying that these are George's things and he doesn't want to get involved. Which is fair enough. Last edited by Buddy Ackerman; 11-09-2012 at 08:25 PM. |

Blu-ray Prince

I would say Raiders of the Lost Ark was a film exactly like Star Wars. Did it have spaceships and laser swords? Of course not. But it was exact same blend of high and low concept fantasy/action/adventure. They both hearkened back to the same eras and styles of filmmaking (Saturday serials, specifically) and both appealed - I cannot believe I'm about to use this phrase with a straight face but here goes - kids of all ages. Secondly, the bulk of Star Wars took place in two basic locations - Tattoine and aboard the Death Star. Empire was a little more elaborate but not that much. Without getting into yet another OT/PT faceoff let me just suggest that the move toward a big, sweeping space opera (that I would say started with Jedi) might be one of the area where the train started rumbling off the tracks a bit and reigning that in might not be the worst idea in the world. |

Break out your blu-Ray set of the SW Saga, and in the supplements for Revenge of the Sith, they show Spielberg's animatics. There's even doc footage of Lucas winkingly commenting on them..."He's good." Spielberg staged the duel, he staged the "Order 66" sequence, he staged the Greivous Obi-Wan chase and fight. You don't have to take my word for it. Chances are, you already own it.

I could be wrong, and would be grateful for the exact extra in which this highly interesting information is contained. I remember seeing George using Steven as a way to get the shots the way he liked them in the Within a Minute documentary on the DVD edition of ROTS. |

I'm glad Spielberg said no to VII. I'd rather have new, fresh talent at the helm: Dave Filoni.
The guy clearly understands the Star Wars universe, and already has a widely accepted fanbase from the Clone Wars series. I'm hoping to hear some news about him in talks with Disney about this, but I'm sure they might be a little hesitant handing the keys to car over to, what amounts to, a rookie of live action. Again, enough with the Directors...how about some news about the Writers!! That interests me much more than the director! |

Glad that Spielberg has turned down the opportunity and that the search goes on; his style would've been too perfect in my opinion. I love Spielberg and nearly everything he does, and I can completely understand his reservations about taking on a project so close to his best friend's heart - he wouldn't want the series to rely too heavily on his name (you can almost see it now: "Steven Spielberg's Star Wars Generation") when it's conception came from someone else entirely.
Plus, you want the brand to rest on its own laurels, not be propped up just because of the huge director helming it. And I was sure that Spielberg had actually directed some scenes within SW; I remember reading an article and it stated that he had directed at least half an hour of footage, and Lucas had taken the credit for it. Whether that article was complete crap or not is debatable, though. Just, given his reaction to being asked for this, I'd say that, if he had directed a segment of film for Lucas, you can see that he wouldn't have wanted it known. |

Only if Shia takes over as his son. Harrison is getting to old to be doing both Star Wars *and* Indiana Jones and hey they might as well finish the job and pass it along to a new generation while they are at it. That is what everyone I know was hoping for based on how the last one ended.
