I went to UC Santa Cruz and we used to joke about dressing as Ewoks to run around the forest (you can’t avoid the redwoods when attending classes there).
aw yeah, wonder how its awe-inspiring setting fares now, surely we honor these sacred 2000+ years-old living beings…
“Months after the shoot was over, the logging company did what it did best & clear-cut the entire area. Endor is no more …a lot of the [trees] became decking material in the Bay Area”
There's a great line from the Rifftrax of the Holiday Special, during the interminable opening sequence with the Wookie family: '...even in MODESTO, is there really enough pot around to make this thing happen?'
one of my favorite things to do is be the first person to tell someone george lucas’ “it’s vietnam and america is the empire” and watch them start to make extrapolations.
I was just reading how when Zoetrope was more a production company, and Coppola was flush, Lucas was going to go shoot Apocalypse Now guerrilla-style, but ended up doing his own project instead………
the coppola-lucas-spielberg of it all is actually kinda fascinating behind baseball and i usually don’t care for that stuff.
and i would hope that, for kids now, it scans pretty clearly that america is the empire, but i actually have *no* idea what kids comprehension of vietnam is!
