Description These days, I am quite nostalgic of good old and authentic Star Wars: Episode IV and the famous scene of the Battle of Yavin (Death Star )

While the fighters are taking off for the decisive strike, Luke Skywalker taps on his helmet, thinking that he hears the voice of the ghost of Ben Kenobi: "Luke... Trust your feelings..."

Watercolor brushes and pencils on thick paper.

Ah, is he doing drawings on the subject?
I have some colleagues that love Mine Craft. It looks immensely addictive

Not yet but this summer I will be giving him drawing lessons and clone wars figures will be his subject. And yes, MineCraft is all consuming for him and this is why his parents have limited his time of the computer to the weekend

you're so right. lucas depended too much on technology in the later versions. so much, that they lacked the heart-felt emotions that was the true reason for the success of the originals, not just the special effects!

philippeL In reply to subhankar-biswas [2010-12-09 16:33:27 +0000 UTC]

This is really my opinion. The first movie he did was a breakthrough in the sense that he did not have the same tech and the lack of references of the genre made him go through a lot of obstacles.

Me too: I was very hooked up to Episodes IV and V during their time. I love BSG too (new series), and some other sci-fi like Blade Runner, Resident Evil, Riddick and of course, Tolkien books.

I love the old movies, above all. Ep. IV was the first movie I saw ever in a theater when I was a kid. Will the 3D movie a remake or a modif of the existing version? Do you know?

Mr-Ripley In reply to philippeL [2010-10-27 02:39:36 +0000 UTC]

As long as I've read the news. I guess they'll be modif of the existing version.

philippeL In reply to Mr-Ripley [2010-10-29 19:18:28 +0000 UTC]

I understand that G Lucas does not do other SW movie: he keeps on re-editing those that exist already and makes the big big bucks! It's amazing how much money he did with the "special editions" of SW IV - V - VI back in the 90s.

Mr-Ripley In reply to philippeL [2010-10-30 08:59:42 +0000 UTC]

Exactly! Let's see how much he'll get more from the 3D version
