Quote : | "I have not given much credence to reviews of my films. Sometimes they’re wrong, but it didn’t matter to me. I have not been a follower of how many millions my films made or did not make. In this case, I wanted very much for the film to succeed because I knew that George was spending his own money on it. I think the critics felt that they were going to see an extension of Star Wars. In other words, they wanted another Star Wars. I decided that the potential was much greater than a rerun of Star Wars. When I finally accepted the assignment, I knew that it was going to be a dark film, with more depth to the characters than in the first film. It took a few years for the critics to catch up with the film and to see it as a fairy tale rather than a comic book." |

Did he remake anything? The quote^^ is about him directing the original Empire Strikes Back, and the 'remake' is in reference to 'A New Hope' 11/29/2010 4:58:48 PM |

ESB is the only one that holds up to repeat viewings. I can't even recall the plot to any of the others. 11/29/2010 5:13:03 PM |
