J'ai détesté Jurassic World mais j'ai confiance en l'intelligence de Kennedy, Abrams, Kasdan et Johnson.

Quand tu vois Le Retour du Jedi, réalisé à moitié par un faiseur et à moitié par Lucas (la réa c'est vraiment pas son fort), on a quand même un film solide qui conclut bien la trilogie. Le script fait que ça devient inratable. Même les premières 40min qui ne servent objectivement à rien sont ultra divertissantes. Et les Ewoks casse-couille (putain je rêve de ce monde parallèle ou ça se passe sur Kashyyk) ont même leurs moments qui valent le coup.

TO KILL OR NOT TO KILL

Lucas : I think it'd be great for Luke to try to help Vader while this thing is blowing up. And then Vader gets his cape caught in the door and says "Leave without me" and Luke takes his mask off. The mask is the very last thing - and then Luke puts it on and says, "Now I am Vader." Surprise! The ultime twist. "Now I will go and kill the fleet and I will rule the universe."
Kasdan : That's what I think should happen.
Lucas : No, no, no. Come on, this is for kids.
Kasdan : I think you should kill Luke and have Leia take over.
Lucas : You don't want to kill Luke.
Kasdan : Okay, then kill Yoda.
Lucas : I don't want to kill Yoda. You don't have to kill people. You're a product of the 80's. You don't go around killing people. It's not nice.
Kasdan : No, I'm not. I'm trying to give the story some kind of an edge to it.
Lucas : I know you're trying to make it more realistic, which is what I tried to do when I killed Ben - but I managed to take the edge off of it - and it's what I tried to do when I frozen Han. But this is the end of the trilogy and we've already established that there are real dangers. I don't think we have to kill anyone to prove it.
Kasdan : No one has been hurt.
Lucas : Ben and Han, they've both - Luke got his hand cut off.
Kasdan : Ben and Han are fine. Luke got a new hand two cuts later.
Lucas : By killing somebody, I think you alienate the audience.
Kasdan : I'm saying that the movie has more emotional weight if someone you love is lost along the way ; the journey has more impact.
Lucas : I don't like that and I don't believe that.
Kasdan : Well, that's all right.
Lucas : I have always hated that in movies, when you go along and one of the main characters gets killed. This is a fairytale. You want everybody to live happily ever after and nothing bad happens to anybody. [...] There are three parts to the movie : Jabba, the Ewoks, and Luke and the Emperor. Luke and the Emperor are not fun and the other two are. I think that we can toll along with the fun parts and still have this undercurrent of a fairly serious study of a father and son, of good and evil. The whole concept of the original film is that Luke redeems his father, which is the classic fairytale : a good father/bad father who the good son will turn back into the good father. We can have a serious line and still have a fairly light film. The whole point of the film, the whole emotion that I'm trying to get at the end of this film, is for you to be real uplifted, emotionally and spiritually, and feel absolutely good about life. That is the greatest thing that we could possibly ever do.

LANDO CALRISSIAN DIES?

Lucas : We're going to cope with Billy [Dee Williams].
Marquand : Well, seriously, the Falcon is the thing to send him in.
[...] Kasdan : What about killing him now, since it's so late in the picture ?
Lucas : You can't kill him now.
Kasdan : Why not? What if they need someone to go to Had Abbadon [le concept de Cité de l'Empereur qui sera abandonné au profit de la Seconde Étoile noire, et réapparaîtra sous la forme de Coruscant dans la prélogie] for some reason and he volunteers to do that and then accomplishes his mission but is killed by Vader?
Kazanjian : Then you make him a hero.
Lucas : Well, the trouble is it's complicated. Then you have another story line you have to intercut.
Marquand : I think Lando should fly straight into the Death Star. Give him a great ending.
Lucas : I think it'd be better to put him in the air battle, because then we've personalized the air battle.
Kasdan : The air battle at the end ?
Lucas : If he dies right at the end of the movie, then you come back to the celebration and yet you've killed one of the main characters.
Kasdan : You want me to give him some meaningless job, hey.
Lucas : Put him with the fleet and have him lead the rebel attack.

FRUSTRATION

Kasdan : I think that we have to break out of here somehow and think of a simpler idea. Maybe get rid of the Ewoks.
Lucas : I know they're the things that are causing troubles.
Kazanjian : Let me ask you a question: just for five minutes, pretend that the Ewoks don't exist. What would we accomplish?
Lucas : Then you have a giant hole in the script that we have to fill with new ideas.
Kasdan : I will tell you why the Ewoks are a problem: because they are the third point. Instead of going from Jabba to your end confrontation, you have to fit them in and they are always going to be oblique, unless you are going to blow up their planet.
Kazanjian : Blow up their planet?
Kasdan : Which we are never going to do. [...] I am telling you that the key is to stick Luke into the center of this in an effective way, so that in fulfilling his destiny he helps the Rebellion to defeat the Empire. That is what we are not doing. There has to be some transfer of power from the Emperor to Luke. That would be very poetic in terms of your whole story. That would be the perfect thing if you had a moment when all these Imperial guys see Luke take over. That would be a real Olympian conclusion to this trilogy.
Lucas : Explain that further.
Kasdan : Luke usurps all the powers of the Emperor in their final confrontation and is recognized as the ultimate power in the galaxy.
Lucas : Luke can't rule the universe, because if he's destroyed the Emperor and, consequently, the Empire, then it's a Republic again and the senate will come back. They will elect their own officials. He is a warrior. He is a Jedi Knight. He does not want to be mayor, he does not want to be president; he has sworn to be a police officer and that's what he wants to do.
[...]Marquand : I'm surprised at you guys - you spend a lot of time throwing scorn to each other's ideas. I must say this, that what you have got to get to is an agreement. You are in a situation where Luke has won and therefore there's not really point in going on with the story.
Kasdan : It's a wimpy ending though.
Lucas : Larry, if we went to the old method, the plot that was laid out this morning, the whole idea of the trap, the Death Star is supposed to be inactive, it is not, it is very active; the rebel fleet gets trapped, the Death Star starts firing at them and blowing their ships...
Kasdan : ... There is no planet...
Lucas : ... And the whole sequence ends with the Death Star blowing up. Now all I am saying is that the only negative consequence to that idea is that it makes the Emperor seem kind of stupid. But I would rather get a script that sort of works; then we can finesse the story so it doesn't seem that he was as dumb. It all has to do with how you give information out to the audience, how the Emperor describes what his plan is, how much of it the audience understands...

J'ai kiffé le film hier. Depuis, ça n'a cessé d'enfler.

Voilà. Le réal n'est pas prédéterminant dans ce genre de films qui sont un vrai travail d'équipe.

Autre truc que je me suis dit à la fin de la projection: j'aurais aimé que tous les Star Wars eurent été réalisés en 2015 par JJ Abrams.

Ce Star Wars est 1 000 fois plus incarné que n'importe quel produit de série Marvel. Un vrai réal, ça aide quand même beaucoup.

N'importe quoi.
