George Lucas, the mastermind behind the Star Wars world, released the first film in the much-loved franchise in 1977. That’s how he made A New Hope. The first screening has since become a mythical Hollywood event. Still want Brian De Palma Now to set some things straight about this.
De Palma, also known for Scarface on The Untouchables, lived namely, just like Steven Spielberg, the premiere at. Both directors are good friends with Lucas, although it has been said for years that Spielberg was the only one who appreciated Lucas’ vision. According to De Palma, this is not correct.
Response
During a recent interview, De Palma said the following: ”There are so many different stories going around. Everyone who attended the screening tells a different version of how it went, but ‘the fact’ that only Steven saw the qualities of Star Wars is completely wrong!”
De Palma also loved A New Hope and let Lucas know this too. However, there were some elements in the film that De Palma wasn’t much of a fan of, including the term The Force.
The Force
Thus, De Palma continues by saying: ”I remember everyone really loved the movie. Some were aware that the special effects were unfinished. I myself was joking about The Force”.
”I didn’t think it was a really good name, but it’s clear afterwards that I was wrong! I’m often portrayed as the one who criticized the film a lot, but that’s just not true.”
