Just over a year after Lucasfilm, the production company bearing his name, declared creative bankruptcy with a risible display of AI-generated 'aliens,' George Lucas has offered his take on the tech. It's, ah, well it's not great.
In a chat with A Rabbit's Foot (via Kotaku), Lucas alighted on the topic of other directors' hostility to new (for a certain definition of 'new') tech. "I have a lot of friends who are on the Film Foundation with me, that's dedicated to saving old movies, and some of them say 'I'll never do digital. Lawrence of Arabia was shot with film.'" Lucas thinks that's a bit daft: "It's the moving image. That's what it is. It's not a technology, it's an idea."
