This fan documentary, written and directed by David Brennan, reveals how, just as the original Star Wars trilogy was modeled after mythology and folklore, the prequel trilogy was modeled after history. The documentary goes over the prequel’s story of false flag terrorism step-by-step, and then reveals how George Lucas had this element planned since 1973!
“The Empire is like America ten years from now, after Nixonian gangsters assassinated the Emperor and were elevated to power in a rigged election; created civil disorder by instigating race riots, aiding rebel groups, and allowing the crime rate to rise to the point where a ‘total control’ police state was welcomed by the people. Then the people were exploited with high taxes, utility, and transport costs. Gangsters, a cartel made up of power companies, transport companies & crime organizations. Other companies had to pay bribes to stay in business.” -George Lucas, 1973.

what the hell does ACTUAL political news have to do with you thinking that an incomplete story which began development and continues to develop to this day, which was begun 40 years ago had or has anything to do with ACTUAL news of today?
the topic is you thinking that lucas wrote this in one go, he didnt, or that it was based on todays world, it wasnt.
this is exactly how the intellectually challenged deal with issues. changing the subject trying to bring the debate into an attack on the opposite debaters beliefs on completely different subjects like they are relevant to this subject.
when you are ready to come out and play with the big boys youll start acting like one and present facts which prove the point, like i did. instead you are trying to turn this into a smear campaign against me.
nice try.
this is even more foolish to believe than what peekay posted in the first place.
believe it at your own risk.
well you claim that the story was written in stone from the beginning, it clearly wasnt, and the only reason you see any allegory between current political situations on earth today and the films is because you WANT to see that. it isnt really there except in your mind.
I really enjoyed this video...thanks for sharing....I don't watch a whole lot of videos but this one picqued my interest. Disregard nitpickers,lol, I was glad for your interesting share.
it asnt though, darth vader wasnt the father originally, that is a BIG part of the story line which wasnt created until way into the process.
this is exactly how saviours are spawned. when people place undue ability and genius upon a person. and then try to attck others for being ignorant.
you deny that he has changed the story? here is another way in which george lucas changes the story so that he can make more $$$$$$.
the lucas approved book club he created had a book written about the bounty hunters. boba fett was a person who worked in the core as a business man, tired of the corruption and greed he quit and became a bounty hunter, and got his awesome armour from one of the people he was hunting or while he was hunting.
lucas then decides that it would be "better" to change the storyline that he forced writers to all adhere to, and all of a sudden boba fett is the clone of jengo/a fett.
that is not the story originally, but he changed it to tie in characters with the clone wars.
he didnt create anything really, he just re-wrote and mashed together other peoples stories and moives. and kept rewriting his own scripts until the movie companies bought them. they bought him for american graffitti and star wars, the film we got is totally different than the one pitched to get the contract for filming.
so again you can believe whatever you want to about your fantasy saviour. its not the truth of it.
the truth of it is the story he wrote developed over many many years.
like tolkien with lord of the rings, these take decades to write and get perfect. unfortunately for lucas he did all the rewriting and editing while his work was already public. tolkien didnt release until the project was more polished and ready.
did you know that the video game series HALO has been edited because of its implications of USA vs ISLAM? it is nothing like that in the game, however if you are a paranoid conspiracy theorist who LOOKS for things to fit into the world they see around them, then it becomes apparent. so you who is looking for USA/isreal world take over plots in media will of course find examples to use to support your paranoia.
just like every single "the end is nigh" end of the world freak out has for the last 2000 years with people seeing in THEIR own times what they want to see about things. fitting in their percieved mythologies into the real world, where they do not belong.
sigh. in the late 80's lucas authorized the first novels to be written. all novels had to be run through him first to make certain that the star wars "story" was not compromised. so he sets up a system where authors cannot betray the story arc. then he himself betrays the novels when making ep 1-3. he didnt have it planned.
"In 1976, Lucas published a novelization of A New Hope, which was initially (like the film) titled just Star Wars. Although Lucas was credited as author of the book, it was later revealed that the book was actually ghost written by Alan Dean Foster, who would also write Splinter of the Mind's Eye, the first original Star Wars novel and, in many respects, the first Star Wars sequel."
he didnt plan it all, he had a book written based on his ideas of mashing several old mythologies together. a single book, the film was titled only star wars originally as well.
"The first film in the series was originally released on May 25, 1977, under the title Star Wars, by 20th Century Fox, and became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon, followed by two sequels, released at three-year intervals."
note not released as star wars episode 4 a new hope.
"Though the first film in the series was simply titled Star Wars, with its 1981 re-release it had the subtitle Episode IV: A New Hope added to remain consistent with its sequel, and to establish it as the middle chapter of a continuing saga."
hmmm looky looky here what we have, a change in the title you say? why for you ask? perhaps because the rest of the series was NOT planned?
In 1971, Universal Studios agreed to make American Graffiti and Star Wars in a two-picture contract, although Star Wars was later rejected in its early concept stages. American Graffiti was completed in 1973 and, a few months later, Lucas wrote a short summary called "The Journal of the Whills", which told the tale of the training of apprentice C.J. Thorpe as a "Jedi-Bendu" space commando by the legendary Mace Windy.[23] Frustrated that his story was too difficult to understand, Lucas then wrote a 13-page treatment called The Star Wars, which had thematic parallels with Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress.[24] By 1974, he had expanded the treatment into a rough draft screenplay, adding elements such as the Sith, the Death Star, and a protagonist named Annikin Starkiller. For the second draft, Lucas made heavy simplifications, and introduced the young hero on a farm as Luke Starkiller. Annikin became Luke's father, a wise Jedi knight. "The Force" was also introduced as a supernatural power. The next draft removed the father character and replaced him with a substitute named Ben Kenobi, and in 1976 a fourth draft had been prepared for principal photography. The film was titled Adventures of Luke Starkiller, as taken from the Journal of the Whills, Saga I: The Star Wars. During production, Lucas changed Luke's name to Skywalker and altered the title to simply The Star Wars and finally Star Wars.
At that point, Lucas was not expecting the film to become part of a series. The fourth draft of the script underwent subtle changes that made it more satisfying as a self-contained film, ending with the destruction of the Empire itself by way of destroying the Death Star. However, Lucas had previously conceived of the film as the first in a series of adventures. Later, he realized the film would not in fact be the first in the sequence, but a film in the second trilogy in the saga.
The second draft contained a teaser for a never-made sequel about "The Princess of Ondos," and by the time of the third draft some months later Lucas had negotiated a contract that gave him rights to make two sequels. Not long after, Lucas met with author Alan Dean Foster, and hired him to write these two sequels as novels.[26] The intention was that if Star Wars were successful, Lucas could adapt the novels into screenplays.[27] He had also by that point developed an elaborate backstory to aid his writing process.[28]
When Star Wars proved successful, Lucas decided to use the film as the basis for an elaborate serial, although at one point he considered walking away from the series altogether.[29] However, Lucas wanted to create an independent filmmaking center—what would become Skywalker Ranch—and saw an opportunity to use the series as a financing agent.[30] Alan Dean Foster had already begun writing the first sequel novel, but Lucas decided to abandon his plan to adapt Foster's work; the book was released as Splinter of the Mind's Eye the following year. At first Lucas envisioned a series of films with no set number of entries, like the James Bond series. In an interview with Rolling Stone in August 1977, he said that he wanted his friends to each take a turn at directing the films and giving unique interpretations on the series. He also said that the backstory in which Darth Vader turns to the dark side, kills Luke's father and fights Ben Kenobi on a volcano as the Galactic Republic falls would make an excellent sequel.
Later that year, Lucas hired science fiction author Leigh Brackett to write Star Wars II with him. They held story conferences and, by late November 1977, Lucas had produced a handwritten treatment called The Empire Strikes Back. The treatment is very similar to the final film, except that Darth Vader does not reveal he is Luke's father. In the first draft that Brackett would write from this, Luke's father appears as a ghost to instruct Luke.[31]
Brackett finished her first draft in early 1978; Lucas has said he was disappointed with it, but before he could discuss it with her, she died of cancer.[32] With no writer available, Lucas had to write his next draft himself. It was this draft in which Lucas first made use of the "Episode" numbering for the films; Empire Strikes Back was listed as Episode II.[33] As Michael Kaminski argues in The Secret History of Star Wars, the disappointment with the first draft probably made Lucas consider different directions in which to take the story.[34] He made use of a new plot twist: Darth Vader claims to be Luke's father. According to Lucas, he found this draft enjoyable to write, as opposed to the yearlong struggles writing the first film, and quickly wrote two more drafts,[35] both in April 1978. He also took the script to a darker extreme by having Han Solo imprisoned in carbonite and left in limbo.[9]
This new story point of Darth Vader being Luke's father had drastic effects on the series. Michael Kaminski argues in his book that it is unlikely that the plot point had ever seriously been considered or even conceived of before 1978, and that the first film was clearly operating under an alternate storyline where Vader was separate from Luke's father;[36] there is not a single reference to this plot point before 1978. After writing the second and third drafts of Empire Strikes Back in which the point was introduced, Lucas reviewed the new backstory he had created: Anakin Skywalker was Ben Kenobi's brilliant student and had a child named Luke, but was swayed to the dark side by Emperor Palpatine (who became a Sith and not simply a politician). Anakin battled Ben Kenobi on the site of a volcano and was wounded, but then resurrected as Darth Vader. Meanwhile Kenobi hid Luke on Tatooine while the Republic became the Empire and Vader systematically hunted down and killed the Jedi.[37]
With this new backstory in place, Lucas decided that the series would be a trilogy, changing Empire Strikes Back from Episode II to Episode V in the next draft.[35] Lawrence Kasdan, who had just completed writing Raiders of the Lost Ark, was then hired to write the next drafts, and was given additional input from director Irvin Kershner. Kasdan, Kershner, and producer Gary Kurtz saw the film as a more serious and adult film, which was helped by the new, darker storyline, and developed the series from the light adventure roots of the first film.[38]
By the time he began writing Episode VI in 1981 (then titled Revenge of the Jedi), much had changed. Making Empire Strikes Back was stressful and costly, and Lucas' personal life was disintegrating. Burned out and not wanting to make any more Star Wars films, he vowed that he was done with the series in a May 1983 interview with Time magazine. Lucas' 1981 rough drafts had Darth Vader competing with the Emperor for possession of Luke—and in the second script, the "revised rough draft", Vader became a sympathetic character. Lawrence Kasdan was hired to take over once again and, in these final drafts, Vader was explicitly redeemed and finally unmasked. This change in character would provide a springboard to the "Tragedy of Darth Vader" storyline that underlies the prequels
so it is clearly illustrated over and over and over and over, that lucas just kept working and writing until he got a deal, WITH OTHERS HELPS, and then kept on working and writing as it went along, the story constantly developing and evolving, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ALL PLANNED.
again believe what you like about this awesome fictional galaxy and its fun adventures. the reality is it was not planned from the start to be what it is. and lucas will hack and slash at it in any way to make it more sellable to the public.
Very interesting.
Hahaha...love this video....makes me think of Spaceballs....gosh how I loved the parady of Star Wars....it was so funny.....I have watched Spaceballs repeatedly and every time I pick up some more irony and humor...now that was a classic for me...
These kinds of things are always amusing though you can make connections like this about practically anything with an oppressive empire.
Even Harry Potter:
It's like some songs backmasked, people think what they like to think.
