    “Scheduling”

    I’m always a little surprised that people go to such effort to create a meme, but can’t be bothered to check their spelling.

      I saw a great one the other week but they spelled restaurant wrong and then correctly in the next panel.

      Like is there some online resource these people are using that doesn’t have spellcheck built-in or are they just way too enthusiastic to post that they don’t even look twice?

    Because George wrote a 3 act story which was too big and detailed to be crunched into a 1.5 hour film. So he chopped it up into 3 parts, and started with part 1.

    When Lucas was first making Star Wars, it originally had “Episode IV” in the title before he removed it and released the original without a number. He was worried it wasn’t going to do well financially.

      No, it was supposed to be a single movie, “Star Wars”, but due to the success of it they started working on further movies.

          I’ve heard this before, but I don’t really believe it. George doesn’t strike me as a “grand design” sort of guy. More like, this seems like a cool scene, add it!

            Oh yeah, I don’t believe it either. There are way too many inconsistencies between the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy (and even within the original trilogy) for George to have planned the whole thing out ahead of time.
