I’ve only been following ForceCenter for a few months. I’m continually impressed with the in depth discussions, the perfect antidote to the sound bites and clickbait that’s all over the ‘net ❤

It was so moving to see George's mentor, Francis Coppola, present Lucas with the Palme d'Or... So touching! Also, I watched the Lucas panel from Cannes, and all I can say is "Amen" to EVERY SINGLE THING that he said on that stage! George Lucas changed my life FOREVER when I saw STAR WARS in 1977 at 10 years old, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this man, his entire creative output, and his philosophy. I had the very great fortune to see George Lucas at the Star Wars Celebration 40th Anniversary panel in 2017, and it was one of the most thrilling moments of my entire life... Thank you, Mr. Lucas, for EVERYTHING, "May the Force be with you always", and congratulations!

As near as I can tell, Google Podcasts went into KZitem Music, but they're probably somewhere here on regular KZitem as well. It's always interesting hearing you all talk about and analyze the different topics on here, because it's so far outside of the way my brain works when consuming media. I think this is what they were trying to teach us in English class, but especially at that time I had no interest in any of it, and went to school for science.

There's really only one major thing I'd like to know from George, and that's if he followed Dave's work on Rebels and beyond. One of the first things George said when he sold Lucasfilm was that he was looking forward to seeing what Star Wars would be like as a fan rather than as a creator, although ultimately he could never really do just that because of his own nature as a creator, but also getting pretty sidelined during the early days of Episode VII. But I'm really curious if he ever just watched Rebels week to week with the rest of us to see what his apprentice went forward with without him. Rebels is a show that really made me fall in love with The Force, when before I kind of just took it at face value as a thing for Jedi and Sith to bludgeon each other with. And where I couldn't really get on board with the Mortis Arc in Clone Wars, it honestly sounds a lot like George trying to define the Force as if it were a word, and using said word within its own definition, I just can't quite get it, that is all contrasted by Dave's show were we really just progressively keep pushing the boundary ever so slightly. Okay, we're doing this, but now I'm asking you to just take one more step. Okay, now we're going to take another step, and it goes on and on until we suddenly can have a big moose gorilla that can turn into a cloud and we have wolves melting through planets, and oh by the way, time travel with a very specific set of rules so as to not create a big multiversal bowl of spaghetti, I absolutely love all of it and what the Force can do in universe as well as for storytelling opportunities. I'm just really curious if it was something George saw, and if he saw it, was he pleased to see just what Dave was able to do with the world he was left to play with, and also under the new management? I suppose in a way, we have gotten an answer because he mentions many good things being done, but also things he would not have done, and it's hard to see folks at Lucasfilm do these things without him, but he also knows it's not his anymore, but I'd love something specific towards Rebels because of just what it did with the Force because of how precious that is to George, and because it was Dave's first big project without George. I mean for all I know, Dave was talking to George all the time about everything as production was going on and I just missed his name in the credits every episode as a consultant. I don't think that happened, but I'll also likely never know because movies tend to dominate the conversation even though George has had a large hand in television, too.

While I like the political aspect of Padme, I don't like the character because of her romance with Anakin. Having her fall in love with someone so dark as Anakin is really not a good message. The idea of women having to fix broken men is terrible. If Anakin was at least able to hide his dark self from her, we could have the romance be justified as she not knowing his true self. But she knew him. She knew he slaughtered an entire Tusken village ... Reylo is another super problematic romance unfortunately...

I strongly disagree about Padmé; she is the moral compass of the Clone Wars, but she is also shown as a complex woman who loved a flawed man. She did hold him to account in their relationship, but she was not responsible for dispensing justice or resolving his past trauma. She believed that Anakin could make better choices despite his past. Ultimately, he didn’t, but that’s on him and not her.

I don’t find it problematic that Rey could love Ben Solo, because I think that is who she was bonded to through the dyad all along. However, I take your point… there is some Reylo fanfic out there that I personally don’t care for because it glorifies the super violent side that was Kylo. But there are a lot of reasons for writing and reading stories like that; just because they are not for me doesn’t make them bad.

@@amaranthpaean I don't think she ever held him accountable for anything. Otherwise he would have talked about what he did to the Tuskens to Obi-Wan and the Jedi Masters. She basically helped him in keeping that atrocity hidden. If she really cared about him in a healthy way, she would have encouraged him to face his traumas to help with his healing. But she didn't, and he only went deeper into the dark side. They had a terrible relationship which should be seen as a cautionary tale, really.

@@amaranthpaean Ah it was a awful relationship. I'm appalled at how Disney approved them to go on with it. The first encounter of the two characters Rey is kidnapped and tortured by Kylo. This was more than enough reason for Rey to never feel any kind of romantic feeling towards him. But not only that, Rey saw Kylo killing his own father. Han Solo who was one of the first people to show some good to Rey... I mean...seriously. I find it so weird how people can defend this relationship...One of the worst things that came out of Star Wars in my opinion.

Thanks to Joseph and Ken! 🫡 I was so touched to read that Mr. Lucas received that honorary Palme d'Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival... presented by his friend, Francis Ford Coppola.
