Stars Wars finale will be 'Titanic in space'
Star Wars maestro George Lucas is promising a “Titanic in space” for his sixth and final film in the most successful sci-fi series ever.
It may have the rather unattractive title of Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith, but Lucas insists it will return the franchise to a former glory that had been somewhat tarnished by the comparative critical flops of the most recent two movies.
Lucas told a film conference in Las Vegas: “It’s a real tearjerker, and it will be received in a way that none of us can expect. I feel that I’ve made the movie the best I can and it turned out the way I wanted it to be, so I’m happy.
“I never try to anticipate what the world’s going to think or even worry about whether they’re going to like it or not.
That’s not my job, to make people like my movies. They either like them or they don’t. That’s completely out of my hands.
“Obviously, fans would love to see a movie about Darth Vader running around killing people. I’m not telling that story, and I’m not interested in that. That’s not what the movie is.
“This first trilogy is really about the father, the struggles of a father, or a man, basically, to find himself, and at the same time fall into a trap of wanting certain powers, making a pact with the devil and basically spending the rest of his life regretting it.”
