George Lucas Calls Out What Went Wrong With Star Wars Sequels
By Chris Snellgrove
| Published
These days, it’s relatively rare to hear George Lucas comment on the modern state of Star Wars. There are a couple of major reasons for this. First, one of the reasons he sold this franchise was so he wouldn’t have to be the de facto authority on everything large and small in a galaxy far, far away. The second was that he has a tendency to stick his foot in his mouth when he talks about the franchise, like the time he infamously told Charlie Rose that the Star Wars movies were like his “kids” and he had sold them to “white slavers.”
Despite this, however, the Maker still occasionally offers comments on the beloved sci-fi franchise he brought to life. He did so in a recent interview, where he got surprisingly candid about Star Wars and his creative process. Lucas also did the last thing anyone was suspecting: he took what seemed to be a potshot at the Sequel Trilogy, offering his own diagnosis as to why movies like The Rise of Skywalker flopped so hard despite literally decades of box office momentum.
The Maker Speaks
Recently, George Lucas offered an interview to A Rabbit’s Foot. One of the things he discussed with the journal was the group of famous filmmaker friends who helped him turn Star Wars into a breakout pop culture success. “I had a group of friends I went to school with: Marty Scorsese, Francis [Ford Coppola], Steven [Spielberg]. We were all students at the same time, and we all know each other really well,” he said. “I know what their prejudices are. When I show them a movie, and they make comments, I know where they’re coming from.” He followed this up with a surprising statement: “I don’t like focus groups.”
Why is that? “The audience doesn’t know what they want to see. If they don’t like a character, that’s interesting, and as a filmmaker I want to find out why,” he said. “But when the studios hear that, they take the wrong message. They let the audience actually make the movie. Of course, now they go crazy with that. Now, it’s all about what the fans think.” Some fans might think this is a perfect situation, but Lucas disagrees. “That isn’t how you make the movie. You make a movie by finding someone that knows how to make movies, that has a story to tell, and is passionate about it.”
Star Wars Goes From Being Special To Being A Nobody
While Lucas doesn’t explicitly badmouth Disney or the Sequel Trilogy, I couldn’t get over how perfectly he seemed to be describing what happened with The Rise of Skywalker. While The Force Awakens was a crowd-pleasing soft reboot, The Last Jedi took several big, creative swings that didn’t connect with every fan. This included turning Luke Skywalker into a bitter hermit who throws away his lightsaber, turning Rey into an abandoned nobody, and adding side quest-loving new character Rose Tyco. When enough fans whined, Disney brought back The Force Awakens director to have Luke emphasize the importance of lightsabers, to almost entirely remove Rose, and to turn Rey into Emperor Palpatine’s granddaughter.
All of this was a transparent attempt to placate the fans who had complained the loudest about The Last Jedi. But that didn’t keep The Rise of Skywalker from being the worst Star Wars movie ever made, one that turned countless fans off. It’s fair to say that this final sequel convinced mainstream audiences that the franchise wasn’t special anymore. Once, new Star Wars content always felt like something special; now, it has been reduced to a mixed bag of movies and shows with more misses than hits. That’s why The Mandalorian and Grogu, the first new movie since TROS, became a critical and commercial flop.
The Truth Is Its Own Superweapon
In that same interview, George Lucas pointed out that he had resisted making changes fans demanded for decades. About the Ewoks, he claimed fans kept telling him, “Get rid of these teddy bears, we want to see an adult movie!” According to him, “Everyone said the same thing about R2-D2 and C-3PO,” endlessly claiming they wanted a more adult movie. His response is simple: that Star Wars is “a kid’s movie. It’s always been a kid’s movie.”
Amusingly enough, Lucas was basically echoing Red Letter Media, the YouTube channel that became famous because of scathing reviews of the prequels. Last year, RLM member Mike Stoklassa, in his Plinkett persona, outlined in vivid detail how Star Wars fans don’t know what they want. Now, the actual creator of Star Wars is explicitly saying the same thing: that fans of the franchise don’t know what they really want and that trying to give it to them is the best way to doom your film. Disney caved in to the loudest whiners on the internet, and now everybody is moaning about different things, hoping their petulant demands will be met.
Disney: ‘That Is Why You Fail”
Star Wars succeeded because George Lucas had a vision that he wouldn’t deviate from no matter how many fans complained. Once he sold the franchise, Disney worried so much about focus groups and fan outrage that they drove the sequels into the ground. The Last Jedi took big swings that a talented director could have followed up on. Instead, the House of Mouse rehired a tired hack of a director to grovel to a fandom that has never understood what it wanted by caving to their every contradictory demand. Like Luke Skywalker when he thought it was impossible to lift his X-Wing, Disney thought it was impossible to create new ideas.
Now, here’s George Lucas himself to tell them the same thing Yoda famously told Luke: “That is why you fail.”

The Latest Poster For Avengers: Doomsday Secretly Spoils The Plot
By Chris Snellgrove
| Published
With less than five months left until the film’s release, Marvel has taken their marketing for Avengers: Doomsday to the next level. Right now, fans are mostly focused on the trailer that dropped today, which is no surprise; after all, it’s not every day that you see the reunion of Thor and Steve Rogers or, for that matter, a battle between Shang-Chi and Gambit. Amid all the breathless hype over the trailer, however, a more powerful advertisement is lurking in plain sight. At the same time Marvel launched the trailer, they also released a new Avengers: Doomsday poster.
Compared to that crowded character poster, the new poster is downright subdued. It features Doctor Doom staring at a huge tapestry with a broken world and two characters: a woman and a boy. Some comics fans think this image is Doom and his mother, a character who is eventually damned to Hell. However, other fans are convinced that this is actually an image of Doom’s wife and child; if true, this would effectively ruin the biggest plot twist. How does it do that? If you don’t mind some potential spoilers for this year’s biggest film, just keep reading!
You Can’t Spell “Painting” Without “Pain”
So, let’s start this story in reverse (just don’t let the TVA get me!): why do some fans think the woman in this poster is Doctor Doom’s mother? In the comics, she’s a big deal. To defeat an evil dictator who was ruling her country with an iron fist (an actual fist, not the kung-fu guy), she made a deal with the devil. As usual, the deal went wrong, and she lost control of the powers that she gained from Mephisto. She renounced those powers, got killed, and was then dragged into Hell. To see her again, Doom later mastered magic, visited Mephisto, and conducted an experiment that ruined his own face.
However, all of the lore behind this origin story is too dense to fit into Avengers: Doomsday, a movie which is already crowded with endless character cameos. It seems the movie is taking a different direction, as multiple reports have claimed that the two figures are actually Doom’s wife and child. An unconfirmed leak of the movie’s plot (don’t say I didn’t warn you about spoilers, kids!) claims that Doom actually lost his family to one of the incursions, which is when one reality collides with another. This motivates Doom to learn more about the incursions and to plot his revenge.
A Hero Will Be Broken
Revenge against whom, you ask? According to the leaked plot, Steve Rogers! Reportedly, Loki visits the former Captain America in the past and warns him that the TVA will prune his entire timeline because he’s not supposed to be there. In an act of seeming kindness, Loki brings Cap, Peggy, and their young son to the Fantastic Four’s universe. However, the leak claims that Steve’s presence in this universe somehow triggers an incursion and that Doom disfigured himself and killed his own wife and son trying to stop it. In a shocking twist, Doom reportedly kills Steve’s son in front of the hero in an act of vengeance.
Now, again, all of this comes from a leaked plot summary that hasn’t been confirmed, so all of this could be an Ego-sized bottle of hogwash. But it’s worth noting that the Avengers: Doomsday teasers last year prominently focused on both Captain America and Thor becoming fathers. This potentially adds credence to the idea that this is a film about family and how far someone will go to protect the ones they love. If the leaks are true, this innocuous poster featuring Doctor Doom is spoiling the motivation the villain will have to cross time and space and cross countless moral event horizons along the way.
A movie where costumed vigilantes (like Batman, Spider-Man, and so many more) are driven by the ghosts of family members they lost when they were children? Well, nobody ever accused Marvel of being all that original!

The Best Horror Series Ever Made Is Now Streaming For Free
By Chris Snellgrove
| Published
My absolute favorite kind of movie is the anthology. When you have a collection of short films all rolled into one, it provides the ultimate ROI for the audience. Don’t like one of the stories? You can just thug it out with the short runtime or skip ahead to the next tale. Either way is infinitely preferable to slogging through a two-hour film that started boring you to tears in the first scene. The anthology is much rarer in television, however, because networks and streamers have learned just how attached fans get to the same characters and stories, causing them to run these shows into the ground.
Heroes, Stranger Things, Star Trek: Discovery…what do all of these shows have in common? They were designed to be anthologies that would change things up each season, but their early success meant we were stuck with the same cast for years as the show got worse. Fortunately, true anthology lovers are just a click away from getting their fix. Right now, Tales From the Crypt is streaming for free on Tubi, just waiting to delight all you ghouls and boys. It’s not just the perfect anthology show; it is, in fact, the greatest horror series ever made!
Meet The Cryptkeeper
Tales From the Crypt fully embraces its anthology format, with every single episode focusing on different characters and different terrifying tales. What ties all of them together is our host, the Cryptkeeper. He’s a snarky, hilariously mean corpse of a character brought to life by a small army of puppeteers. The show originated on HBO, and its creators embraced the fact that it didn’t have to abide by any of the restrictive standards of network television. As such, episodes were filled to the brim with vulgar language, nudity, sex, and more buckets of blood than you can shake a bodybag at.
Younger horror fans should know that it’s almost impossible to overstate the popularity of Tales From the Crypt and its ghoulish host. Despite all the blood, breasts, and beasts, the show was wildly popular with kids, including my own underage self. Accordingly, it got two spinoffs aimed directly at children: Tales From the Cryptkeeper (a Saturday Morning children’s cartoon) and Secrets of the Cryptkeeper’s Haunted House (a weird gameshow). If that seems odd, this was during the same time that Kenner marketed toys based on Terminator 2 and Aliens directly to kids. What can I say? The ‘90s were weird, man!
Friends In Low Places
One compelling reason to check out Tales From the Crypt is that it had plenty of awesome guest stars, all of whom were happy to do an episode without being tied down to a long contract. Guests included Arnold Schwarzenegger, Brad Pitt, Michael J. Fox, Tom Hanks, and so many more. In most cases, these actors are performing against type, making what happens to them onscreen that much more shocking. Trust me: if you only know actors like Robert Picardo and Wil Wheaton from Star Trek, you’ll never look at them the same way after watching Tales From the Crypt.
For me, though, the single best thing about Tales From the Crypt is the show’s wicked sense of humor. With his relentless puns, wild expressions, and unhinged laughter, the Cryptkeeper sets the tone for a show that has black comedy running through its veins at all times. This adds serious entertainment value and also helps position the show as a light (but filling) bite for horror fans. Not in the mood for elevated horror and don’t have the time for a two-hour psychological thriller? You can always count on Tales From the Crypt to deliver a perfect slice of scary entertainment in under 30 minutes.
There’s not much more to say, especially without spoiling these awesome episodes. Ready to see if this early HBO success story lives up to the hype? Maybe you want to laugh and scream in equal measure, or just write down some weird new puns with which to torment your children? Whatever your reason, the best horror series ever made is just a click away. Tales From the Crypt is currently streaming for free on Tubi, which is arguably the best platform for any boils and ghouls who love a good scare!

It also comes equipped with AI obstacle avoidance to dodge everyday clutter (like rogue dog toys), and an extending arm to scrub right up against your baseboards. But, according to some Amazon reviewers, there are a few minor drawbacks, including a louder-than-usual drying cycle and finicky rollers.
Even so, picking a good spot for the base or doing occasional maintenance is a small price to pay to never have to mop your own floors again.
