Tema: Star Wars

Repito mensaje, que ha pasado tiempo y me he topado con un artículo interesante:

Hoy, 25 de mayo, se cumplen 40 años del estreno estadounidense de El regreso del jedi en 1983. Esa película cierra uno de los experimentos más radicales e influyentes de la industria cinematográfica

"Ya no necesitan a Luke Skywalker". Mark Hamill anuncia su retiro de Star Wars y explica por qué no quiere volver a interpretar al personaje creado por George Lucas


No me extraña. Se pasó media promoción de las últimas tres películas rajando de lo que habían hecho con su personaje los de Disney.

No hay necesidad, a estas alturas es un recurso barato (lo mismo vale para Vader), y que devalúa a esos personajes cuanto más salen, y mucho me extrañaría que no lo tengan al menos en mente para la película en la que confluirán The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, etc.

George Lucas ha contado en más detalle lo que propuso a Disney para la trilogía-secuela. Sinceramente, suena mucho mejor que lo que nos acabó llegando.

A New Threat Emerges
"After the Rebels won, there were no more stormtroopers in my version of the third trilogy. I had planned for the first trilogy to be about the father, the second trilogy to be about the son, and the third trilogy to be about the daughter and the grandchildren."
"Episodes VII, VIll, and IX would take Ideas from what happened after the Iraq War...the stormtroopers refuse to give up when the Republic win. They want to be stormtroopers forever so they go to a far corner of the galaxy, start their own country, and their own rebellion."

Power Vacuum And Maul's Return
"Gangsters, like the Hutts, are taking advantage of the situation, and there is chaos. The key person Is Darth Maul, who had been resurrected in the Clone Wars cartoons - he brings all the gangs together. One is with a set of cybernetic legs like a spider, and then later on he has metal legs and he was a bit bigger, more of a superhero."
"Darth Maul trained a girl, Darth Talon, who was in the comic books, as his apprentice. She was the new Darth Vader, and most of the action was with her. So these were the two main villains of the trilogy. Maul eventually becomes the godfather of crime in the universe because, as the Empire falls, he takes over."

Luke Skywalker's Mission
"It starts out a few years after Return of the Jedi and we establish pretty quickly that there's this underworld, there are these offshoot stormtroopers who started their own planets, and that Luke is trying to restart the Jedi. He puts the word out, so out of 100,000 Jedi, maybe 50 or 100 are left."
"The Jedi have to grow again from scratch, so Luke has to find two- and three-year-olds and train them. It'll be 20 years before you have a new generation of Jedi."

The Chosen One
"The movies are about how Leia - I mean, who else is going to be the leader? - is trying to build the Republic. They still have the apparatus of the Republic but they have to get it under control from the gangsters. That was the main story."
"By the end of the trilogy, Luke would have rebuilt much of the Jedi, and we would have the renewal of the New Republic, with Lela, Senator Organa, becoming the Supreme Chancellor in charge of everything. So she ended up being the Chosen One."
