How come when George Lucas does it...

[ZombieGenesis]

It's called "reinventing the social media of our time".

But when someone else does it, it's called plagarism.

What. Are. You. Talking. About?.

What is?.

 

[Ishnuvalok]

What is this I don't even...

When has anyone said that George Lucas reinvented the social media of our time?

 

[Cargando]

I believe the appropriate response is: eh?

 

[Armored Prayer]

Sorry I'm a bit confused.

 

[Swaki]

whats going on here? when did lucas reinvent anything but his own franchise?

and what did someone else do that he did but in a bad way?

 

[tiredinnuendo]

Is he talking about how Star Wars is basically Dune with all the hard parts cut off?

I can't think of too much else.

What? Once again, another person makes a thread where there is no discussion.

Play the OP off, keyboard cat!

What ARE you talking about? Perhaps if you provided more details and maybe a example or two possibly with links, then maybe we could understand what the hell you're talking about.

 

[DuplicateValue]

Ehm.............I agree?

 

[ZeroMachine]

What in the hell are you talking about?

 

[JoshGod]

errm mayby
i want to disagree but i dont understand.

 

[sonicmaster1989]

POR QUE?!

 

[Casual Shinji]

I heard George Lucas called many things.

Though most of it was unsuitable for childrens ears.

 

[cubikill]

Because when he "remasters" a film he ethers owns the IP or he has the right to the IP. I wish he'd stop, but it is perfectly legal.

I THINK the person is talking about how Star Wars: A New Hope is supposed to be heavily influenced by Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress. The plot, the plot from the point of view of the lowly characters (the robots/peasants) and the wipe edit effects are supposed to have been lifted by Lucas for Star Wars.

Or they could have just mistaken "George Lucas in Love" for a documentary.

 

[Sun Flash]

Perhaps this is a philisophical question and there is more than one answer and open to interpretation?

in which case, I take my hat off to thee oh dearest OP

*scratchy beard wrinkle nose look*

 

[Snowalker]

POR QUE?!

this

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Lucas is open about his influences and even went on to pay his dues by producing an Akira Kurosawa movie. That is just not plagiarism and is actually pretty cool behaviour.
