This group of artists, or his “warriors” as Jodorowsky named them, went on to define modern sci-fi cinema with such films as Alien, Blade Runner, Star Wars and Total Recall.
ピープルVSジョージ・ルーカス
Himself
何種類も売り出されたシリーズが映画自体として「中毒」を招くだけでなく、関連商品購入も「中毒」になって生活も壊れた(それでも満足している)人々が出てくる。 特に、旧3部作に比べ新3部作への失望が、多くの出演者の共通の不満となっている。エピソード1を観ただけでその後の作品は観てないという人も多い。絶対的な悪役の不在が新シリーズの欠点で、その悪役がルーカスになってしまったという人も出てくる。 最大の非難は、唯一のフルCGキャラクターであるジャー・ジャー・ビンクスに向けられる。不満から私家版の『スターウォーズ』を作った多くの人々も取り上げられる。 最初の公式なスピンオフの一つだった「ホリディ・スペシャル」(Star Wars Holiday Special)もまた批判の的となる(映像はその後公開されていない)。これは チューバッカが故郷に帰る話だった。
