The People vs. George Lucas Page #3

This is the culture that surrounds it.

This is what the author recalled.

He's a genius, and I can prove,

because he Wars .

JOE W. HALDEMAN

Science fiction author

Part of the genius

The Star Wars ...

... and George Lucas was...

Really understand... how to sell it.

He had reached, by accident...

... a level of expectation

I could not fill...

Because they could...

make toys...

Fast enough...

to launch...

... and they decided to sell

an empty box with a certificate...

SHIP FROM 1 FEBRUARY

AND JUNE 1

... that would send the toys.

IAN FREER:

Editor of Empire Magazine (UK)

One reason to remember

these films are toys.

We imported toys

as movies.

I still remember the smell

of these action figures, open...

... and smell them.

CHRIS GORE:

Popular with nerds

I have no other printed matter

that smells like this.

I'm serious!

If you wanted pajamas

Star Wars had.

If you wanted to have a ray gun

as Han Solo, you'd get.

was like let you go in a candy store.

- I am your father.

- Dad, I'm Anakin.

I'm Anakin.

The film becomes

in a culture of participation...

... Where a child playing

begins to create its own history.

HENRY JENKINS:

Author of Convergence Culture

Fans participating

contribute to this world.

They want to bring to this world

his feeling than to the screen.

Briony James - Fan Fiction Writer

SONNY MALONE - Creative

It's fun to play in their world.

Come on, honey.

He gave us a huge sandbox to play...

... And here we are playing.

DANNY CHOO:

Stormtrooper in Tokyo

encapsulates you and drags you.

George was the only filmmaker

has encouraged all...

KEVIN RUBIO:

Director of Troops

... To play in their sandbox.

allowed people like me

openly mocked and create.

Many people call this

desolate space...

... but I like the feeling

small town feel here.

The best movies made by fans

are those of Star Wars .

Perhaps the next big franchise

is Doctor Who .

CLIVE YOUNG:

Author of Homemade Hollywood

Sure, there are 100 films

made by fans...

... The Star Wars

for each Doctor Who .

I love movies

action figures and toy LEGO.

They are taking these derivatives ...

... and use them as tools

to create their own material.

Strike REBELS

I started making my first animations

when I went to high school.

I took the figures from the film

and conformed to two frames per time.

CHARLIE UNGER:

Director of USC

I took a long time,

but was locked in the basement...

... and it was my obsession.

If you want to recreate something

as Wars ...

First thing you think... is a parody.

is because people love

and is easy to recreate.

Darth Vader.

Only you can be so brave.
