ST1 on 1

Now, from our New York STNews World Headquarters in New Jersey is chief meterologist and your host, Connie Chung.

CC: Good morning. My guest today is “Star Wars” creator and movie mogul George Lucas.

GL: Good afternoon Connie. It’s nice to be with you today.

CC: George Lucas, finally the final chapter of the “Star Wars” saga hits theatres May 19th. It’s called “Episode III- Revenge of The Sith”. Now the first “Star Wars”, the real “Star Wars” movie, was not the first episode but the fourth, right?

GL: That’s right Connie.

CC: Now why the hell did you do that?

GL: Well no one wanted to make “Star Wars” and I had mapped out the whole saga and thought “Four” was the most commercial.

CC: So you made four, then five, and six. Then waited, like fifteen years, and made one, two and now three. Right?

GL Yes.

CC: Are you nuts?

GL: Some people think so.

CC: I remember an interview with you as you started the second film which is really the fifth film and you said, at that time, that you didn’t think you were a very good director and wanted to produce. So those other “Stars Wars” films, “The Revenge of The Jedi” and whatever the hell the last one was, which of course was the last one but then you did three prequels, were directed by other people. But then when you went to shoot number one, which of course you did fourth, you directed it yourself.
Are you nuts?

GL: well time had passed and…

CC: And what the hell did you do to that first one, number four? You fucked it all up with lots of new special effects. Changed motives of characters and through digital effects made it all something else and ruined it. What are you nuts?

GL: Well I was never happy with the final results of the film and…

CC: You weren’t happy with the greatest movie hit of all time?

GL:…

CC: The movie that made the entire world love you and “Star Wars”. So you took a beloved classic film and messed with it.
What the fuck are you, nuts?

GL: Let me explain. You see the special effects that were available at that time weren’t what they are today and….

CC: I know that Einstein. We all know that. Here’s a news flash Mister Star Wars, everyone knows that an old movie reflects the technology of it’s time. we still love it for what it was. Nobody expects Laurel and Hardy to be driving around in a new Ford Caravan numb nuts.

GL Why not? They could. And you wouldn’t even know. It would look perfect.

CC: Would it be funnier?

GL: Well… it…

CC: Bona Sera Mister Lucas. Bona Sera.
Good luck on your new, old, middle of your trilogy that’s really six movies that you shot and released out of sequence because your nuts.

GL: Thank you Connie it was nice to be with you.

CC: Great numb nuts. Now if you’ll excuse me, the force is with me and I have to go to the bathroom.

MAY ST BE WITH YOU!!!!
