Gary Kurtz was a producer on what is generally regarded as the best
Star Wars movie The Empire Strikes Back. In this clip over at Vulture, which is part of the special features on
The People Vs George Lucas home release, Kurtz reveals why he thinks Lucas's three prequels disappointed him.
There is no embed unfortunately so click on the image below to view the short clip..
Basically he concurs with a lot of
Star Wars fans: while technically and visually sound the movies fell way short in the story and character department. He says that all three movies have great moments, but that he wishes they had more character development and substance. He then compares them to
Raiders Of The Lost Ark saying they have a lot of action and are held together by story threads that work..on the surface.
Well, I agree on the prequels but lets not drag
Raiders down with em! What do you guys think? You agree or disagree with Kurtz's take?
The People Vs George Lucas comes to DVD October 25th
