Podcast appearances and mentions of George Lucas

George Lucas explains that Palpatine doesn't conquer the galaxy through lies, but through truth twisted by fear. In today's George Explains video, we explore George Lucas' vision of the dark side, the psychology of manipulation, and why the Emperor represents control disguised as compassion.

Episode Title: "I Need My Pain" - The Caves of Androzani Review & The Fifth Doctor's Regeneration THE CAVES OF ANDROZANI (March 8-16, 1984) Writer: Robert Holmes (returning!) Director: Graeme Harper (debut - directing from studio floor, not control room) PRODUCTION NOTES: The Fake Title: JNT put "The Doctor's Wife" on the production board deliberately to catch office leaks (ironic foreshadowing of Matt Smith's episode!) Graeme Harper's Innovation: Highly innovative direction with unrestricted camera movement - energetic, personal style directing from the floor instead of control room. Peter Davison said if there had been more directors like Harper and writers like Holmes, he'd have stayed for a fourth season. The Strike: Recording interrupted, cutting two sequences including the Doctor explaining his blown glass bottle collection from different planets (why they're visiting Androzani Minor for sand) Nicola Bryant's Frostbite: Developed mild frostbite on first day filming because her lower legs were bare in actually cold conditions The Dream Casting That Never Was: Sharaz Jek was offered to Tim Curry, David Bowie, and Mick Jagger! Christopher Gable was Harper's first choice, Bowie his second. Only Bowie had a reason for declining (Serious Moonlight tour). STORY BREAKDOWN: The TARDIS lands on Androzani Minor where the Doctor and Peri investigate caves and step in raw Spectrox - the most valuable substance in the universe. They're caught between multiple factions fighting over Spectrox: business magnate Morgus, General Chellak's forces, gun-runner Stotz, and the mysterious masked Sharaz Jek controlling an android army. Both contract Spectrox toxemia - the only cure is bat's milk from the lower caves where a magma beast hunts. THE FACTIONS DEBATE: Jim struggles with the convoluted plot involving approximately four factions. John helps clarify: Morgus controls everything from Androzani Major, supplying guns to Jek through Stotz while also backing the military against Jek. Nobody to root for - they're all "nasty, nasty people." STANDOUT MOMENTS: Peri & The Doctor's Chemistry: Their banter is finally warm and funny! John notes Peri complains differently than Tegan - more innocent, not sharp-edged or world-weary. The Star Trek Connection: The military forces sport Star Trek colors (blue, red, gold) matching departments, and uniform design echoes later TNG/DS9 style! First "Droid" Usage: Doctor Who uses the term "droid" for the first time (George Lucas trademarked it, but the term originated with Mary Wolfe in 1952's "Robots of the World, Arise!") Direction Showing Off: The vid-screen conversations where Morgus walks behind the hologram and creative camera angles - "Someone's really showing off here, but in a good way" Morgus's Aside: John Normington misunderstood stage directions and spoke his inner thoughts directly to camera. Everyone loved it, so they kept it! Could've been the Deadpool of Doctor Who if used throughout. CHARACTER ANALYSIS: Sharaz Jek - A Cut Above: The most twisted, dark villain in Doctor Who history. Could give Davros a run for his money in maniacal madness. Shakespearean dialogue, obsessed with Peri's beauty in deeply cringy ways. The mask reveal? A letdown - "not worthy of the build-up at all." Morgus - Standard Bureaucrat Behaving Badly: Rat bastard who murders the President by pushing him down an empty lift shaft. His defeat is Jim's "moment of joy" - well-deserved! The Magma Beast: As awful as the Myrka from Warriors of the Deep, maybe worse. THE VIOLENCE: Brutal for Doctor Who - no comic book foundation anymore. The gun-runner scuffle was "nasty, nasty, nasty stuff." THE REGENERATION: Most Extensive Ever: The Doctor says "feels different this time" (David Tennant would echo this line in his bi-regeneration). All companion cameos newly filmed: Matthew Waterhouse (Adric) - the Doctor reacts most strongly Sarah Sutton (Nyssa) - had chicken pox! Janet Fielding (Tegan) - "Brave heart, Tegan" Mark Strickson (Turlough) Anthony Ainley (The Master) - "Die, Doctor!" The Psychology: John theorizes the hallucinations represent the Doctor's psyche - companions urging him to live vs. the Master (part of himself) wanting to die. Colin Baker's Entrance: Nervous during setup, but in command once cameras rolled. Dressed in Davison's outfit (as it should be!). Two takes - said "egotistical" in final cut, "egocentric" in first. End credits gave Colin Baker top billing immediately. JIM'S CONFLICTED FEELINGS: HOPE FOR THE FUTURE: Jim admits Colin Baker's brief scene gave him hope: "He's very different from Davison... the polar opposite. He immediately insults Peri and he's large and in charge. I can almost put up with a real jerk if there's just some real agency going on in the character." The Agency Theory: Jim yearns for the days of Enemy of the World when the Doctor had real agency, was right in the middle of everything. He identifies with Pertwee's sarcasm and hopes Baker will deliver. ROBERT HOLMES APPRECIATION: Both hosts wish Holmes had been brought in sooner to establish Davison's character. His dialogue elevates everything - Jek's "I have to live among androids because they do not see like we see." FINAL THOUGHTS: Jim: "I'm somewhat encouraged by that tiny little scene with Colin Baker. It gave me some hope... I can almost put up with a real jerk if there's just some real agency." John: "I think that's fair to say there will be agency." The marshmallow Doctor era ends. The loud, arrogant era begins. One more story to round out Season 21... NEXT TIME: The Twin Dilemma - Colin Baker's full premiere! Jim handles narration for the four-parter.

It is time to return to Mid-World in this final Kingcast episode of 2025 as indie horror star Graham Skipper (Re-Animator: The Musical, Almost Human, Beyond the Gates) joins Breznican and Vespe to discuss the fourth book in Stephen King's Dark Tower series: Wizard and Glass.  We break down the plot, underline how it weirdly mirrors the plot that George Lucas would later use for The Phantom Menace, and take a deep dive into how this book really plays to King's strength at mixing intricate character work and unbelievable world-building. 

Maul Shadow Lord got some NEWS today about the premise. I hope this goes into (as much as it can now) what George Lucas planned for his sequel trilogy which had Darth Maul training Darth Talon.

Legendary comedian and filmmaker Mel Brooks joins the show to discuss his son Nicholas Brooks's new film "Sam," but the conversation quickly becomes a masterclass in comedy history and social commentary. Brooks shares fascinating behind-the-scenes stories from his iconic career, revealing that Warner Brothers executives initially considered "Blazing Saddles" too controversial to release, with one executive claiming it would "soil the name of Warner Brothers." The film opened in just three theaters in February but became such a phenomenon that by the July 4th weekend, it was playing in 850 theaters and became a "riotous hit." Brooks explains his creative process of parodying genres he loves, from Westerns to science fiction, and shares a delightful story about sending the "Spaceballs" script to George Lucas, who laughed so hard he spit coffee all over it but requested only one prohibition: no action figures be sold.Beyond the entertaining anecdotes, Brooks delivers a powerful message about comedy's role in social change. He identifies "Blazing Saddles" as his greatest accomplishment because it broke down racial barriers and challenged audiences to confront uncomfortable truths. His philosophy is simple but profound: "If you can make them laugh, you can make them think." Brooks argues that comedy succeeds where serious preaching fails because laughter opens minds and hearts in ways that soapbox ranting cannot. He also discusses his talented children, including son Max Brooks who wrote "World War Z" and "The Zombie Survival Guide," and announces his upcoming musical adaptation of "Young Frankenstein" set to open in London. This conversation captures the wisdom, humor, and social consciousness of one of entertainment's most influential voices, demonstrating why Brooks's work remains relevant decades after its creation.

Speciaal voor de feestdagen wagen mijn beste vriend Jelle en mijn beste zus Yasmin zich aan de 'Star Wars Holiday Special' uit 1978. Een tv-special zo slecht dat bedenker George Lucas er alles aan heeft gedaan om de opname van de aardbodem te laten verdwijnen.In de uitzending maken de hoofdpersonages uit de eerste 'Star Wars' hun opwachting, maar ook iets te veel nevenpersonages die niets ter zake doen. We vieren Life Day (een soort kerst in het Star Wars-universum) bij de familie van Chewbacca op de planeet Kashyyyk. Chewie zelf is niet thuis, want ja, die is met Han Solo op missie.'Star Wars Holiday Special' is een raamvertelling in een raamvertelling, met kooktelevisie, een bar-scène in de cantina van Tatooine en een integrale tekenfilm die het verhaal van Star Wars navertelt op de intergalactische Ketnet.We bekeken de versie inclusief originele reclameblokken en journaal van CBS. We maken kennis met de zangstem van Carrie Fisher, ontdekken hoe het zit met tandheelkunde bij Wookiees en zoeken uit wie de schuld heeft aan dit misbaksel. Maar ook: wat hebben de scenaristen van deze special genomen om tot dit resultaat te komen? En we vinden een link met 'The Little Mermaid' en haar 'thingamabob'.De special is te bekijken op minder legale kanalen maar ook op archive.org. En er is zelfs een documentaire over de tv-uitzending: 'A Disturbance in the Force'. De perfecte samenvatting van dit vreemde ding.Happy Life Day!

A guest episode from Famous & Gravy. On each episode, host Michael Osborne and guests look at the life of a famous dead celebrity and ask themselves if it's a life they would've wanted. The show gets into all sorts of things you will not in that person's official obituary or biography. I'm a fan. Here's how they describe today's episode:This person died 2011, age of 56. He dropped out of Reed College in 1972 and once said that taking LSD was among the most important things he ever did. In the early years of his career, his obsession with detail drove colleagues crazy, but later he inspired extraordinary loyalty. In the 1990s he bought a small computer graphics spinoff from George Lucas and built it into Pixar. He told the world he would step down as Apple's CEO if he could no longer meet expectations — and then he did. Today's dead celebrity is Steve Jobs.Subscribe to Famous & Gravy in all your favorite podcast apps and at famousandgravy.com---And if you please…Subscribe to the CRAFTED. newsletter: crafted.fmShare with a friend!

In the first draft of Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker didn't become Darth Vader after killing Mace Windu. He turned later, inside the Jedi Temple, manipulated into believing the Jedi had betrayed the Republic. In today's video let's explore George Lucas's early version of the fall, why it made Anakin too passive, and how rewriting it as a conscious choice turned Revenge of the Sith into tragedy instead of accident.

This special edition of KyberCast is basically a love letter to creativity—with Star Wars as the spark that lit the fuse. Joe Becker is joined by longtime friend and creative co-conspirator Chris Eichenseer for a deep, free-flowing conversation about how a galaxy far, far away shaped who they became as artists, designers, and storytellers. From drawing TIE fighters in school notebooks and obsessing over movie posters and typography, to discovering how George Lucas didn't just make a movie—he invented entirely new tools to tell a story—this episode digs into that formative moment when imagination takes over and never really lets go. It's about friendship, fandom, and that magical stretch of time when Star Wars didn't just entertain you… it rewired how you saw the world. But this isn't nostalgia for nostalgia's sake. Joe and Chris connect those early creative awakenings to big, timely questions about human creativity today—AI, analog vs. digital, imperfection, energy, learning, and the courage to keep “walking into the woods” even after decades of experience. They talk Joseph Campbell, the hero's journey, theater-going as a communal experience, and why “good enough” might be the real villain of modern creativity. If you've ever felt Star Wars nudged you toward drawing, music, filmmaking, design, or simply thinking bigger—or if you're wondering how to stay creatively alive in a hyper-digital world—this episode is for you. Plug in, geek out, and rediscover why making things as a human still matters. ✨ https://someoddpilot.com/ https://someoddpilotrecords.com/ https://someoddpilotstudios.com/ https://publicworksgallery.com/

In our final episode for the year we are joined by Official IndyCast correspondent Mitch Hallock, Ron Phelps has a lost Delta update and chats with Willie Scott, Chris A is back with IJ in the UK looking at the Temple of Peril and lots more!

George Lucas reveals that Luke's duel with Vader wasn't about victory — it was about compassion. In this video, we explore how the throne room fight mirrors Anakin's duel with Dooku, why Luke's refusal completes the prophecy, and how love, not control, brings balance to the Force as George Lucas COMPARES Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. 25% OFF - get your sabers now THEORY SABERS - https://theorysabers.com/ Ani III - The Chosen One - https://www.theorysabers.com/product/hilt-ani3 Prodigal Son V1 (Affordable Version) - https://www.theorysabers.com/product/hilt-lukev1 HATS and MERCH - https://www.theorysabers.com/products-3?category=Accessories&subcategory=Merch Learn more about your ad choices.

The holiday you know wasn't born under twinkle lights. It was assembled—piece by piece—out of Star Wars, Sol Invictus and Saturnalia, immigrant folklore and Protestant pushback, department store spectacle and the irresistible pull of a good story. We follow that winding path from Rome's calendar to America's shopping aisles, showing how gift giving shifted from communal ritual to commercial engine and why the myth of a “pure” Christmas never really existed here.We dig into the colonial bans and 19th-century legalization that set the stage for a retail renaissance, when newspapers sold Santa, window displays became cathedrals of commerce, and cards and ornaments scaled through industrial craft. Santa's look didn't start with Coca-Cola; it coalesced from poems and prints that mass marketing spread nationwide. Then we jump to 1977, where George Lucas's bet on merchandising collided with demand: Kenner couldn't make Star Wars figures by Christmas, so it sold promises—the Early Bird Certificate Package. An empty box with stickers and a pledge should have flopped. Instead, scarcity and story turned IOUs into the season's hottest gift and birthed the modern collector boom.The throughline is startling and useful: American Christmas has always blended wonder with salesmanship, moral tales with marketing, generosity with buying. That doesn't cheapen the meaning we make; it puts the power back in our hands. Understand the machinery, keep what matters, and let the rest go. If this history reshaped how you see the season—or made you smile at the audacity of that Star Wars “empty box”—tap follow, share with a friend who loves holiday lore, and drop a review to help more curious listeners find us.

This week, we unwrap the most infamous gift the galaxy has ever given us: The Star Wars Holiday Special — a 1978 fever dream so bizarre even George Lucas pretends it never happened.Join us as we journey to Kashyyyk for Life Day, meet Chewbacca's deeply unsettling family, endure musical numbers no Jedi could save, and ask the big question: How did this get made… and why did anyone let it air?Expect Wookiee grunts, disco‑era chaos, Bea Arthur running a cantina, and the kind of festive weirdness that makes you question your own reality.Grab your robes, light your Life Day orbs, and strap in — this is the most wonderfully terrible corner of the Star Wars universe, and we're diving in head‑first

Small, “old school” touches like handwritten notes, genuine gratitude, and being great at the bottom rung of the ladder still massively differentiate you. You get more of whatever you focus on—shifting from excuses and victimhood to ownership and opportunity is a non‑negotiable money and life skill. Notable Quotes “You get what you think the most about.” “Write handwritten notes to people.

Lani Lauwers is zangeres, stemactrice, presentatrice en make-up artist. Oh ja, en ze is ook grote Disney- én Star Wars-fan. In 2021 mocht ze de jonge prinses Raya uit 'Raya en de Laatste Draak' een Vlaamse stem geven. Didier Goossens werkt voor VI.BE (het aanspreekpunt voor artiesten en de muzieksector in Vlaanderen en Brussel) en wordt door Studio Brussel wel eens 'de metalprofessor' genoemd. In 2022 gaf hij een Spreekbeurt onder de gewaagde noemer: Waarom de prequeltrilogie van Star Wars beter is dan de originele.Samen wagen we ons aan 'Episode II – Attack of the Clones'. Na alle haat rond 'Episode I' schreef George Lucas het scenario onder de zelfspottende werktitel 'Jar Jar's Great Adventure'.We hebben het over het paarse lightsaber van Samuel L. Jackson, de nepbaard van Ewan McGregor en de schermkunsten van Christopher Lee. Over Wookieepedia als bijbel, over de life-changing ervaring op Batuu en de lore van de saga. En wat vinden we van deze digitale, veel te lenige Yoda?Waarom is dit dé nazi-Star Wars-film? Wie heeft de schuld aan de ondergang van de Galactische Republiek: Jar Jar Binks of Yoda? En kun je de leden van *NSYNC spotten in deze film? May the prequels be with you!

A George Lucas cameo from Revenge of the Sith takes center stage in this episode of The Clone Wars.

A long time ago in an office in Bath... we said we'd do a series on Star Wars. Finally, here it is. We start where it all began, with 1977's A New Hope (or simply 'Star Wars' as it was known back then). An un-assuming sci-fi adventure with a cast full of unknowns that director George Lucas thought was going to bomb - so much so that he went on holiday to avoid the noise around its release.What follows is movie history - the biggest film franchise of all time was born. But how does the original measure up to what's come since? How did a simple post production decision transform the entire finale? And is Harrison Ford actually handsome in this one? We discuss all this and more as we move scene-by-scene through the film that started it all.We'll be watching the original Star Wars trilogy followed by the prequel trilogy, all through December and January. Dates are below!Star Wars: An Intro - 8/12/25Bonus - Star Wars Games - 10/12/25A New Hope - 15/12/25Empire Strikes Back - 22/12/25Mail Bag End 2 - 24/12/25Return Of The Jedi - 29/12/25 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, the Dungeon Crawlers Radio team dives deep into the state of the galaxy far, far away. The hosts debate the intense fan backlash against recent Star Wars projects like The Acolyte and Andor, asking a critical question: Is the problem bad writing or toxic fandom? They challenge the notion that content creators are to blame for recent failures, arguing that the quality of the story and allegiance to the source material are the real culprits. Plus, we analyze George Lucas's original trilogy, discussing why he was a master world-builder but a flawed storyteller, and why the Disney era needs to remember Star Wars' gritty, "Old West" roots to succeed.

Long ago, in a galaxy not so far away, George Lucas allowed the Star Wars Holiday Special to be made. What happened on the night of November 17, 1978 can never be fully explained, but we make our best effort in our annual special edition of SYSK. May the force be with us all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Horror! Medis! Desespero! Arrrrgh! Hoje o Podtrash e a querida Pincesa Melina atravessam a galáxia mais improvisada do cinema nacional para falar de Os Trapalhões e a Guerra dos Planetas (1978), o famoso Brazilian Star Wars. Neste episódio, revisitamos essa paródia totalmente sem pudor do clássico de George Lucas, onde Didi, Dedé, Mussum e Zacarias […]

In this episode of Franchise Addicts, we dive headfirst into one of the most controversial blockbusters of the 21st century: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008).Set in the Cold War era, Crystal Skull sees Indiana Jones pulled into a Soviet conspiracy involving a mysterious crystal skull, ancient civilizations, secret military experiments, and the lost city of Akator. Directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by George Lucas, the film marked Harrison Ford's return to the iconic role nearly 20 years after The Last Crusade — and instantly split fans down the middle.We break down the entire plot, analyze the alien vs. mythology debate, discuss the infamous “nuke the fridge” scene, the introduction of Mutt Williams, the return of Marion Ravenwood, and whether the movie's sci-fi turn fundamentally misunderstands what makes Indiana Jones work. We also examine the film's historical inspirations, cinematography choices, heavy use of CGI, and how Crystal Skull reflects 1950s Atomic Age paranoia and B-movie science fiction.Is Kingdom of the Crystal Skull an underrated adventure weighed down by internet backlash — or a miscalculation that lost the soul of the franchise? Where does it rank among the Indiana Jones films, and how does it compare to Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade, and Dial of Destiny?Whether you love it, hate it, or still argue about aliens, refrigerators, and monkeys, this episode is a full, honest reassessment of Indiana Jones 4 — no nostalgia goggles required.

So when is George Lucas going to get a crack at one of these?Marvelous molasses spills from Daniel Craig's mouth once again, and Rian Johnson employs religious themes to surprising effect to bring us the latest entry in America's favorite whodunnit franchise (from Netflix).

In this episode of The Filmumentaries Podcast, I'm joined by Laurent Hopman and Renaud Roche, the writer and artist behind the acclaimed graphic novel Lucas Wars, which tells the behind-the-scenes story of the making of Star Wars from a deeply personal, human perspective. Laurent shares his background as an entertainment journalist and how years of research, interviews, books and documentaries fed into the script. Renaud talks about coming from a traditional animation and storyboarding background, studying at Gobelins in Paris, and how cinematic visual language shaped the way he approached the book's artwork. We discuss:Why the emotional journey of George Lucas became the heart of the storyHow the pair condensed vast amounts of historical research into a tightly structured graphic novelThe challenge of visually dramatising meetings, offices and creative conflictThe relationship between Lucas and Spielberg, and how it shapes both volume one and the upcoming sequelThe meaning behind the iconic twin suns coverVisiting Skywalker Ranch and Lucasfilm after the book's releaseBalancing historical accuracy with storytellingWhy Lucas Wars connected with readers beyond the core Star Wars fandomWe also talk about the upcoming second volume, which covers The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark, and how expanding into Spielberg's world adds a new layer to the story.

David and Hannah celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary re-release of the original Star Wars in theaters, reflecting on the legacy of the 1977 classic and the ongoing debate between the original and special edition versions.

The conversation then shifts to Star Wars Rebels, as they look back on the series' impact—from the introduction of key characters like Maul, Ahsoka, and Thrawn, to the ways Rebels has become essential viewing for understanding the wider Star Wars universe.

In today's episode, we are extremely honored to be joined by Peter MacDonald, who is one of the most talented and distinguished camera operators and second unit directors of all time. Throughout this interview, he reminisces about his experience directing Young Indiana Jones and the Phantom Train of Doom, which is one of the most exciting and action-packed episodes from the series.

Another day, another George Lucas gold drop from The Making of Revenge of the Sith! George Lucas explains that Yoda's duel with Sidious wasn't about who was stronger. It was about philosophy — the collapse of both Jedi and Sith ideologies. In this vid of George Lucas Answers, we explore Lucas's vision of the Senate fight, the symbolism of Yoda's fall, and how his failure becomes the seed of the next generation's compassion... Hope you enjoy this one, it's amazing. Leave a like for the next episode which is also really insane and enjoyable. I love making content on these!! Learn more about your ad choices.

Andor is officially the most expensive Star Wars project to date, IN HISTORY, even with George Lucas era in the mix. 705M for Andor is insane. Kenobi got only a 90M budget in comparison, while the sequels were roughly in The Acolyte territory of cost over 200M. Who is making these decisions up there at Disney and Lucasfilm? How can Andor of all shows get almost 8x Kenobi? How can it be more expensive than Solo with all the reshoots included? Tax cuts, in my opinion, from this Forbes article, is why... But then why not Kenobi? Why no the sequels? Surely Andor couldn't have been THAT expensive compared to all the other massive team led projects Disney Star Wars has had... This is even more expensive than the Mandalorian. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
