George Lucas Bashes Hollywood: Nobody Wants to See My Movies

Date:

George Lucas may have created a multi-billion dollar franchise in the 70s, in a new interview it sounds like he’s not actually a big fan of Star Wars. 

In an interview with Vanity Fair, the writer and director complains that modern filmmakers are unable to express their creative freedom.

“You go to make a movie and all you do is get criticized, and people try to make decisions about what you’re going to do before you do it,” Lucas says. “You know, it’s not much fun. And you can’t experiment, you can’t do anything. You ‘have’ to do everything a certain way. I don’t like that, I never have — I started out in experimental films and I want to go back to experimental films, but of course, nobody wants to see experimental films.”

When asked what he plans to do next, George Lucas replies, “I will be directing movies, but not movies that will be shown anywhere.”

Of course, this is only the latest time Lucas has bashed modern filmmaking. While promoting Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith in 2005, he told Wired magazine, “I’ve earned the right to just make things that I find provocative in my own way,” adding that he’d “earned the right to fail, which means making what I think are really great movies that no one wants to see.”

George Lucas says that his advice to anyone making a Star Wars movie would be that “there’s more to it than just space ships,” adding that he’s “curious [to see] that the Force doesn’t get muddled into a bunch of garbledy-gook.
