The Way Of The Force Episode 9: Star Wars Wasn’t ‘Saved In The Edit’, That’s Silly aka. Investigating The Marcia Lucas Problem aka. The Marcia Of It All
Since day one on this series, commenters have been demanding that I talk about the behind the scenes of the editing, in particular about the idea that Star Wars was ‘saved in the edit’, and that Marcia, George’s first wife, was responsible for so much more than that the history books say. If I was going to do it, I wanted to do a really thorough job. What I found was a fascinating 40-year mess of anecdotes, interviews, gossip, and speculation. I’ve done my best to piece it together in a clear way, and offered my own opinion supported by the facts I could verify.
This one is for the deep deep Star Wars boys. You know who you are.
