And I'm partly responsible.

Admittedly

that is global capitalism...

... and global consumerism.

George Lucas did not invent that.

was found embedded

in a strange relationship about it...

... And as a result, all

we are from the same way.

I buy almost everything

you say " The Star Wars."

It is a contract.

Well? It's like...

If you throw something quality

buy it.

assume that quality is

if " The Star Wars."

But that does not happen.

Every time you throw things.

JOSE MELENDEZ - ELLIOTT SERRANO

Comic culture warrior

Not enough space or money.

George Lucas, what I can say?

FAYE ANASTASIA - Wife and mother

disgruntled fan of the series

That man ruined my life.

I took my husband, my son...

Consumed every dollar... and I had

and I could never save.

All toys that are

behind me here...

... I have made the heart ache

Over the past 30 years.

I think I'll throw a box of products

and sell expensive.

I will not tell people

separately that cost less.

It would be fun.

I bought it on VHS.

NATHAN BEAUDRY:

Alias?ChefElf

I bought the whole box

three or four times.

This is the last box,

and I bought it like an idiot.

This because it brings things

Star Wars and Jedi...

... and the next

because it is mastered...

... thus is improved.

I went to buy

because it was widescreen.

again because

was a special assembly.

Do not know why I bought that, but...

It's like giving us an orgasm.

We had an orgasm, and now says:

"Come on, no more."

We say:
"Enough. Let me sleep."

That that, "I being exploited"...

NAR WILLIAMS:

TV Presenter, Producer

Please. Let's be serious.

Someone provides a product,

you choose to buy it.

If you want to see,

or if you have it...

... has nothing to do

with who did it.

They did it because they thought

I could have a market.

In this case, they are right.

If the fans want to buy everything

what set George...

... as if compelled...

... is like a drug.

You can say someone became addicted.

Finally, it is you that is injected.

There are many people like this...

... And perhaps always be addicts

to Wars .

I, personally, since I left...

Takashi Okazaki

Afro Samurai creator

Now only buy...

R2-D2 products.

We would love to live in a world

that do not buy anything...

... but let's face it, not...

... and finally,

We love what we buy.

If you add that to the resentment...

growing followers...

against George Lucas...

... you'll notice a tortuous relationship

with the objects sold.

By God!

Think it's easy to abandon this.

Now that I talk about this,

I feel I was in therapy.

Hello, my name is Chris.

The fans kept him alive...

... With toys,

the stories and speculation...

Whether there would... more adventures

of this series and how they would be.

Caravan of Courage is ,

but that does not count.

Want more, and when there is nothing...

... You take care of creating something yourself.

From 1983 to present

to The Phantom Menace ...

Lynn Cherny

Creative

There was nothing...

but fanworks.

Followers

kept alive the saga...

COREY VIDAL:

YouTube Partner

Dilated with the universe...

and video games.

People wanted more.

He called

A New Hope, Episode IV ...

So... lay a trap.

EPISODE THREE:

Revenge of the GEEKS

Today is my first day as a writer of the

new series Star Wars .

New pencil box.

I'm ready.

I just need an idea.

I've been waiting

did the episodes I, II and III...

... since I was 14 years

when he left the last.

DRAF 13 JANUARY 1995

When they announced

that finally would come...

... my first thought is

this would be the best...

EPISODE ONE:

"EL COMINEZO"

... It would launch.

All want to see this movie.

This will be a giant time

that will define a generation.

- All fans...

- "What will?"

Created his film......

- ... Created it in his head.

- Yes

Then I thought:

"By God, we all hate."

It may not hate

because it has...

much involved emotionally

in the first.

I remember the day

they announced the name...

... And The Phantom Menace came out

and they all said:

- "What does that mean?"

- "What the hell does that mean?"

As of Friday,

thousands of theaters around the country...

Siskel and Ebert

Launched a new advances......

... What might be described...

As the premiere...

most anticipated of the decade.

Five words:

Wars .

- The Wars.

- The Wars.

- The Wars.

- The Wars.

Wars.

- Fans lined up...

- Just to see the progress.

Publication The Hollywood Reporter

said that the Mann's Chinese Theater...

Competition... went up to 1,100%...

surprise... when presented

a preview of the film.

No, I will go after the advance.

I do not know.

Did you pay to enter

just to see the progress...

- ... And then you left?

- Yes

Because they are two and a half minutes great.

It was amazing.

There was never anything like it.

By God!

I began to mourn

as not doing in years.

I had a heart attack.

I think God should be ashamed

as a creator to watch this movie...

And realize...

that did not create something that good.

This is something I will remember

and tell my children.

It's camera - I know, I look crazy.

It was like a Beatles concert.

DENNIS Przywara

Director of Starwoids

It was like, "Obi-Wan Kenobi is

Anakin Skywalker with "...

... And you thought the world

was going to end.

"God, if the world ends, I hope to live

May 19 to see this...

... Because I can not believe this happen. "

There never was anything so promoted

as Episode l ...

- No.

- ... In the history of...

- Even Jesus had less promotion.

- ... Movies.

FAMILY:

The last episode

of Wars ...

Opens tonight...

throughout the country.

LOS ANGELES - CHICAGO - NEW YORK

CRAZY FOR THE PHANTOM MENACE

is expected that 2.2 million people

from New York to Los Angeles...

among the first fans...

I'll get TICKETS

... of the new

The Star Wars .

THANKS GEORGE:

front of Mann's Chinese Theater...

LINCOLN Gasking

TRAVELED FROM AUSTRALIA

Thousand hours ago... and I do tail.

I come from London.

- We're from Switzerland.

- We come from Poland.

It is a historical event

for this generation.

What will you do if the movie is bad?

Maybe look again.

I do not think it is bad.

There is no way it is bad.

Do not say that.

There is no way it is bad.

- Could be.

- No.

- Could...

- How is it possible?

When the first images,

I'll be ecstatic.

People scream.
