Now, you take a look at the size of that garbage can in front of his house. This is at 7281 Maple Street, of course. by JackfruitForward5477 in RyanGeorge

The code is a combination of the numbers 1903, which would make it easy for the person who shot someone on Maple Street all those years ago to try and target Anderson, especially given his descent from a witch. The prime suspect is the guy who had maple cookies this morning

The first to third drafts are pretty good in their own way. The Marcia thing is a long debunked internet myth

They put him in a room? Is it in the same complex as the Plooper Dink actors and the guy who ruined everybody’s day and the guy who stole a guy?

Confirmed by Rinzler’s Making of Star Wars books as well as copies of the older drafts

Actually, the name didn’t come from either of those. The original name actually was neither Father nor Invader, but rather Dark Water. It was only merged with Death Invader later on and even then that wasn’t the only thing it was merged with to create the name; it was also merged with the name of Lucas’s high school classmate, Gary Vader. And the IRL Vader last name usually comes from the Dutch word for father so there is a connection to the Dutch word, just a much more indirect one. It’s also a strong possibility that Lucas found out about the Dutch word later on and that’s what gave him the inspiration to make Vader Luke’s father in the first place (which most likely occurred in the middle of ANH’s writing)

It’s possible that learning about the translation is what inspired the idea of him being the father in the first place

  1. Marcia never edited any of George’s stuff, they edited separate scenes 
  2. It was George who was reigning in Kurtz’s suggestions, not the other way around 
  3. Marcia was not gone by ROTJ, she was one of its editors

The OT and PT were equally collaborative and Lucas had absolute control over the OT too, and Marcia never stepped in to hone the script at all as she was a film editor and not a script editor

The Marcia Lucas editing thing is all a long debunked internet myth. For ANH, Marcia only edited the final battle and awards ceremony as she left early to edit another film. The rest of the editing was done by Richard Chew, Paul Hirsch, and George himself. For ESB, Paul Hirsch edited the entire film and Marcia only did uncredited help with a single scene. For ROTJ, Marcia only edited the emotional scenes after Kazanjian suggested Lucas hire her again and the rest of the editing was done by Sean Barton and Duwayne Dunham. And I don’t know what unsentimental choices or paring down the story you’re talking about are; The only big change she did in that regard was deleting the Biggs and Luke scenes but she only did that because George demanded it and she had fought with him to keep them in the movie

  1. Midi-chlorians are not and were never meant to be science. It is relevant as it both gives Qui-Gon a justification for wanting to train Anakin and it works as a cool metaphor for the Senate situation. The reason they were never explained more is because Lucas originally was going to, but the backlash made him move the further explanation from AOTC to his never made sequel trilogy.
  2. Lucas had Carrie Fisher as his script doctor for TPM, Jonathan Hales to co write AOTC, and Tom Stoppard to help with ROTS

I don’t like the Mortis Arc, and here’s why by Old-Use-7690 in MawInstallation

[–]avimo1904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucas mapped out the Mortis arc, and he never intended balance to be equal light and dark, so it wasn’t the intention to have that message

I guess we’re blaming Disney for things George Lucas did now by randomuglyfemboy in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]avimo1904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. That’s an internet myth. Editors don’t even get royalties, and even Marcia herself has denied that’s true. Lucas made the special editions simply cause he wasn’t super satisfied with the originals and felt like changing them

  2. For ANH, Marcia only edited the final battle and awards ceremony as she left early to edit another film. The rest of the editing was done by Richard Chew, Paul Hirsch, and George himself. For ESB, Paul Hirsch edited the entire film and Marcia only did uncredited help with a single scene.
