1. This George Lucas quote about the white house is absolutely perfect—and even as a critic, I think this is exactly how every artist should feel about their work.
2. As someone who likes the first Star Wars trilogy but wouldn't necessarily count it among my favorite movies (Back to the Future holds this nostalgia for my childhood imagination), I loved how Lucas made them as an allegory for things that were happening in the real world, only reimagined as a completely new one.
3. Haven't seen I Love Boosters yet but I'm dying to. More on that soon.
4. There is a specific passage from this essay that reminds me of a chilling quote (I'm hoping) only you and I will truly understand: "Giving people what they want instead of what we think they want."
5. A beautiful piece about staying true to your vision no matter the public reception.
I’ve been stuck on that white house/painting quote for a while. He just puts it so well. I really admire that commitment to seeing something through the way you want even if people don’t like it or get it (think he probably learned his lesson with the Disney sale lol)
And that quote you shared hits a little too hard hahah, you and I have been through a lot!
Even aside music's reviews, Dusty stays relevant! I will take the opportunity to evoke the opposition between the republic and the empire in Star Wars sequel's movies. This is a substantial point in Star Wars, but it seems that not so much people have reflections on the duality between a republic and an empire. It could make evolving a lot of things in the world.
Thank you so much, Tarik! And great observation. One thing I think Star Wars did really well under Lucas was taking complex political ideas and making them really easy to understand (especially in the original trilogy). It’s really worth reflecting on and more relevant than ever.
Oh yeah, time for another Collection of Comments!
