In fact, it didn’t see the light of day Lucas finally got the thing released in 2012 after 23 years of failing to get it made. Red Tails, that throwbacky action flick about the Tuskegee Airmen, almost never saw the light of day. And then he casually tosses off the statement that he has a better idea than one of the most iconic, long-lasting franchises in movie history. Like I said, a familiar story these days, but I just love the idea of this guy sitting on a beach, idly shooting the breeze with the best filmmaker on the planet.
He proceeds to sell Spielberg on his idea for Indiana Smith, and they make Raiders of the Lost Ark (after a quick surname switch). Spielberg mentions an interest in making a James Bond picture Lucas’s response is that he’s got an idea that’s even better than Bond. The story goes that Lucas and Spielberg were on vacation, recovering from the relative stresses of Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. This story of how Indiana Jones was born as a franchise is relatively well-known, but it’s still one of my favorite Lucas moments. And honestly, it’s not hard to find times where he was one of the more insightful people in the room, either. His entire career is a testament to that, if nothing else. Which is a shame, really, because Lucas has always been the sort of maverick-y independent personality the film industry could use more of, not less. No, it’s not good news this time either.īetween the disappointing critical reactions to Strange Magic (I haven’t seen it yet) and the news that Abrams and Disney pretty much jettisoned his input on the new Star Wars movies, it’s safe to say there’s no sort of post-Prequel credibility boost to the guy.
