And our job was not to negate or undo. A lot of people who are critics of our <a href="/wiki/Star_Trek" class="mw-disambig" title="Star Trek">Star Trek</a>, and I respect all of them, said we destroyed what they loved and negated everything. And we worked hard to clarify that we are not saying that our Star Trek over-rides a thing of the original Star Trek — it was a parallel timeline. I never wanted to negate canon that fans held so dear. And because I love Star Wars and have for too many years... ... And having said all that and meaning it — I don't want to presume over-write or change what George says the rules are. <br /> I'm not someone who quite understands the science of the Force. To me Star Wars was never about <a href="/wiki/Science_fiction" title="Science fiction">science fiction</a> — it was a <a href="/wiki/Spiritual" class="mw-redirect" title="Spiritual">spiritual</a> <a href="/wiki/Story" title="Story">story</a>. And it was more of a <a href="/wiki/Fairytale" class="mw-redirect" title="Fairytale">fairytale</a> in that regard. For me when I heard Obi-Wan say that the Force surrounds us and binds us all together, there was no judgement about who you were. This was something that we could all access. Being strong with the force didn't mean something <a href="/wiki/Science" title="Science">scientific</a>, it meant something spiritual. It meant someone who could believe, someone who could reach down to the depths of your feelings and follow this primal energy that was flowing through all of us. I mean, that's what was said in that first film! <br /> And there I am sitting in the theater at almost 11 years old and that was a powerful notion. And I think this is what your point was, we would like to believe that when shit gets serious, that you could harness that Force I was told surrounds not just some of us but every living thing. And so, I really feel like the assumption that any character needs to have inherited a certain number of midi-chlorians or needs to be part of a bloodline, it's not that I don't believe that as part of the canon, I'm just saying that at 11 years old, that wasn't where my heart was. And so I respect and adhere to the canon but I also say that the Force has always seemed to me to be more inclusive and stronger than that. <ul><li>J.J.

It is the funnest workshop on the face of the planet or any other planet. You end up with flying monkeys in Oz demanding the right to return, because they've been taken from their homeland.

As I was writing, I came up with some ideas for a film about robots, with no humans in it. When I got to working on the Wookiee, I thought of a film just about Wookiees, nothing else. So, for a time, I had a couple of odd movies with just those characters. Then, I had the other two films, which were essentially split into three parts each, two trilogies. When the smoke cleared, I said, 'This is really great. I'll do another trilogy that takes place after this.' I had three trilogies of nine films, and then another couple of odd films. Essentially, there were twelve films. <br /> It's a nine-part saga that has a beginning, a middle and an end. It progresses over a period of about fifty or sixty years with about twenty years between trilogies, each trilogy taking about six or seven years <ul><li><a href="/wiki/George_Lucas" title="George Lucas">George Lucas</a> in "George Lucas", by Steranko, <i>Prevue #42</i>, September–October 1980</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>The Star Wars series started out as a <a href="/wiki/Film" title="Film">movie</a> that ended up being so big that I took each act and cut it into its own movie...The original concept really related to a <a href="/wiki/Fathers" title="Fathers">father</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Children" title="Children">son</a>, and twins—a son and a daughter. It was that relationship that was the core of the story. And it went through a lot of machinations before I even got to the first draft screenplay. And various characters changed shapes and sizes. And it isn't really until it evolved into what is close to what Star Wars now is that I began to go back and deal with the stories that evolved to get us to that point...When I first did Star Wars I did it as a big piece. It was like a big script. It was way too big to make into a movie. So I took the first third of it, which is basically the first act, and I turned that into what was the original Star Wars...after Star Wars was successful and I said “Well gee, I can finish this entire script, and I can do the other two parts. <ul><li>George Lucas, <i>Skywalking: The Life and Films of George Lucas</i> by Dale 2 Pollock, 1983 p. 36</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>You have to remember that originally Star Wars was intended to be one movie, Episode IV of a Saturday matinee serial. You never saw what came before or what came after. It was designed to be the tragedy of Darth Vader. It starts with this monster coming through the door, throwing everybody around, then halfway through the movie you realise that the villain of the piece is actually a man and the hero is his son. And so the villain turns into the hero inspired by the son. It was meant to be one movie, but I broke it up because I didn’t have the money to do it like that—it would have been five hours long. <ul><li>George Lucas, <i>Skywalking: The Life and Films of George Lucas</i> by Dale 2 Pollock, 1983 p. 38</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>The first [version] talked about a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess" class="extiw" title="w:Princess">princess</a> and an old <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_officer" class="extiw" title="w:General officer">general</a>.

For those of us who have enjoyed what is often called the Long Peace it is all too easy to see war as something that others do, perhaps because they are at a different stage of development. We in the West, so we complacently assume, are more peaceable. Writers such as the <a href="/wiki/Evolutionary_psychology" title="Evolutionary psychology">evolutionary psychologist</a> <a href="/wiki/Steven_Pinker" title="Steven Pinker">Steven Pinker</a> have popularised the view that Western societies have become less violent over the past two centuries and that the world as a whole has seen a decline in deaths from war. So while we formally mourn the dead from our past wars once a year, we increasingly see war as something that happens when peace – the normal state of affairs – breaks down. At the same time we can indulge a fascination with great military heroes and their battles of the past; we admire stories of courage and daring exploits in war; the shelves of bookshops and <a href="/wiki/Libraries" title="Libraries">libraries</a> are packed with military histories; and <a href="/wiki/Film" title="Film">movie</a> and <a href="/wiki/Television" title="Television">television</a> producers know that war is always a popular subject.

I have no intention of revisiting any galaxy. I shrivel inside each time it is mentioned. Twenty years ago, when the film was first shown, it had a freshness, also a sense of moral good and fun.
