  • Did you ever hear The Tragedy of Star Wars 1313? I thought not. It's not a story that Disney would tell you. But Act Man will...
    George Lucas selling Star Wars to Disney, LucasArts being shutdown, and Electronic Arts taking over Star Wars video games. Yes, it is a tragic tale indeed...

    Upon reflection, Disney probably shutdown LucasArts to try and dispel the name "George Lucas" from Star Wars. That's why they didn't take his ideas seriously as a creative consultant for Episode 7. Disney wants Star Wars to be theirs, which it is by law. Star Wars was better with George Lucas around. What do you guys think?

      I remember people ragging on the prequel trilogy for years, and they were bad, let's not forget that. But at least with all their flaws, there were some creative ideas in there and George Lucas put a lot of effort into them. And we had video games and the extended universe of novels and comic books and such, and there were some really interesting stuff in there. Now, they can't even keep their own canon straight. They bought Star Wars, and are now just kinda looting its rotting corpse, and it's kinda sad.

      Actually George didn't sell LucasFilm because he was fed up with the fans. That's just internet legend. He was just getting old and tired of running the business, frustrated with all the legal BS when he tried expanding. None of his kids wanted to take over, so he thought Disney would take care of his creations with Kathleen Kennedy to ensure that they would. He even had an outline for a new trilogy of movies he thought they would stick to. Little did George know that Kennedy was a lying, traitorous snake all along and screwed him over as soon as the ink was dry on the sale contract, throwing out his outline and ruining his characters to prop up her mary-sue, self-insert, fanfic character.

    "Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Lucas the Arts?
    I thought not. It's not a story the Mouse would tell you. It's a Gamer legend. Darth Lucas was a game development company, so powerful and so successful he could use the Star Wars IP to influence the game developers to create actually good games... He had such a knowledge of development that he could even keep the IP's he cared about from dying. The dark side of Gaming is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing the company, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught EA everything he knew, then the mouse laid off his employee's in his sleep. Ironic, he could save other companies from death, but not himself."

      @@Spongebrain97 Excuse me? Disney's Star Wars films are a disaster, all signs indicate that the MCU's quality is about to plummet post Endgame, their live-action remakes of their animated classics lack creativity and charm, Captain Marvel's DVD/Blu-ray and digital sales have flopped heavily implying that the film's box-office "success" was bought out by Disney (which in turn makes the success of a lot of their other recent movies suspect), Pixar's quality has gotten spotty after the Disney buyout, Galaxy's Edge is a flop and their theme park attendance has been steadily declining, the purchase of Pixar, Lucasfilm, and Fox have bloated the company to near monopolistic proportions and yet they have nothing to show for it beyond increasing debt, ESPN's viewership is just about nonexistent, their stock value is plummeting, and recently they were accused of cooking the books concerning their revenue (which if true means they owe the the government millions in unpaid taxes nevermind some of their higher ups going to jail).

    What I remember about the rise of Disney... Was how quiet it was.
    During the waning years of Star Wars, the rights were discreetly transferred from people who enjoyed creating it to people who wanted money. It was a silent trip.
    We all knew what was about to happen, what they were about to do.
    Did anyone have any doubts?
    Any traitorous thoughts?
    Perhaps but no one voiced those concerns
    Not when A new Hope (2) otherwise known as Star Wars Episode VII was released
    Not when EA revived a loved franchise only to make it pale in comparison to its predecessors

      @@TheActMan There needed to be.
      Look at EP VII and VIII what happens when there is no world building and no political background. Nothing makes sense.
      There was no need for big politics in the OT because the Empire already was in power.
      George Lucas beautifully showed in the Prequels how abusing fear, anxiety, hate, tribalism and ignorance can lead to the rise of a dictator.
      The Prequels were not only the origin story of Vader, but also of the empire itself and Palpatine's brilliant rise to power.
      No matter how powerful you are as a Sith, you cannot take control of an entire galaxy with just force lightning.
      Palpatine crafted his plan and executed it over a span of 20 years, and incited a war just to take full control of the senate later on. He manipulated everyone. That's why there are so many politics in the Prequels. They are necessary to properly explain what happens and why it happens.

      I'll defend Episode II as amazing until the grave but I will admit it lags a bit until Geonosis. From that point on it's non stop action! Besides that we only really got the speeder chase, Anakin vs Tusken Raiders, and Jango vs Obi-Wan.
      The movie absolutely needed politics to be discussed (they were essential to the story and the mystery of Count Dooku and Padme's assassins but I wish they figured out a way to do it with less talking and more action/showing. It would have made the movie much better paced and more fun to watch. Still love Attack of the Clones though. I honestly think it's fantastic, just not the best Star Wars movie ever (but it's still superior to the Last Jedi in almost every way)!

    Great intro but your battlefront 2 clone entry before the raid on the Jedi temple that was awesome! But the palpatine said story was damn good too. Great videos man I'm glad your doing good

      Man, that was one big disappointment it was gonna have Norman Reedus from the Walking Dead in it. I guess he ended up in a game eventually since he is in the upcoming Death Stranding
