Old Man Succumbs to Chatbot Flattery, volume 25841.
But also, Lucas was always exchanted by cgi, even when it looked way worse than practical effects.
Crap-looking Special Edition Jabba has awkwardly entered the chat.
Of course he did. He loves updating his classics every time some “new technology” comes along to let his freak-flag fly.
We’ll be seeing a re-re-re-re-release of A New Hope shortly where he uses an AI generated Boba Fett and Solo giving them a scene or two to develop a backstory.
Lucas has always been on the forefront of utilizing tech in movie production so it’s really no surprise he would adopt this mindset.
He climbed the ladder, and now he doesn’t care if it gets kicked down.
I have always thought ai was like the Jar Jar Binks of computer programs.
Might be a controversial take but this guy’s only achievement is to create a franchise for children that isn’t even that good.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is a fucking awesome movie too.
Didn’t see it tbf :D
This is not the intelligence you are looking for…
i mean, he was there all along. he pioneered the all green screen wave of automation in movies. the abuse of green screen was the slop before ai was around. to him it’s just cutting out all the vestiges of imperfection still greasing the machine
“Goes to the Dark Side”
Someone never saw the rerelease of the original series.
Lucas’ best work was under an editor, whenever he got the full reigns, the product suffered.
He’s shit anyway.
“AI” may be the future, but right now, in the present, it feels like rape.
yeah I’m not surprised, I watched the prequels. This guy was a legend in the 70s, that is like 50 years ago.
He hasn’t done anything great since co-writing Willow 40 years ago. Go to his IMDB, he’s lived out of star wars nostalgia since then, and all of them after the initial trilogy was a downgrade.
Lucas creating star wars doesnt mean he’s any sort of genius.
I thought Frank Herbert created Star Wars
No, Isaac Asimov did
Its not political but he is an artist and that is why it is shocking Edit: OP first wrote: something along the lines of “why is it now seen as political”
I didn’t know liking AI was political
Everything is political - the toilet paper you buy, the corporations you support, the things you pay attention to and the things you don’t, the media you consume, the books you read, your decision not to read, whether you pay union dues, the parks you visit, the roads you use, the services you rely on, what you decide to ignore.
People who say they are not political just mean they don’t consciously engage with politics. But even the decision to not engage in politics is a political decision.
AI may eventually replace jobs, pollute water, take up energy, and concentrate wealth at the top even more. Whether you support, are against, or ignore AI, all 3 are political decisions.
No this isn’t abnormal. He’s been a shit for decades now.
Well yeah, he’s a billionaire, of course he looks after his own class’s interests.
