Why would someone who is a super billionaire care whether his experimental films will be watched at all? Just make them already, put your money where your mouth is.

Hey, here\’s a clue to all you Star Wars newbs who bash on something you don\’t understand. Midichlorians were not the force.

Why would he show his experimental films to you?

"I started out in experimental films and I want to go back to experimental films, but of course, nobody wants to see experimental films."

If only he knew someone who had $4 billion and loads of time on their hands who could produce these films without a profit incentive.

You know what grand, aged director who had success early on and has now faded from glory actually IS making experimental films without bitching loudly about it?

Francis Ford Coppola, Lucas\’s mentor. Go learn from your master, Padawan.

"He also hopes that “the Force doesn’t get muddled into a bunch of gobbledygook.”" You mean like Midi-chlorians?

I think that the prequels were borderline experimental. The tone was all over the place. I\’ve never seen other films with stupid slapstick and violent decapitations in the same scene. I\’ve never seen so called films for children that have tedious monologues about trade routes and space taxes. David Lynch\’s Return of the Jedi would\’ve been less crazy.

He\’s been saying this experimental films stuff for years and still we have seen nothing. Not even a whisper of an actual film.
