He would know, he jump started the technological enshittification of mainstream film. Maybe having your actors talk to nothing on a green sound stage while you watch them on monitors from your comfy chair wasn't a good road to go down after all.
This whole comment is beyond clueless. The actors weren't talking to nothing on a green screen sound stage, Jar Jar Binks was played by an actor and replaced with CGI. And "enshittification" doesn't apply to permanent media like film - it's a description of a depreciated service.
George Lucas, for all his flaws, was instrumental in advancing VFX and other filmmaking techniques. Whether you like his films or not (I don't), pretending like he's hurt the industry is asinine. VFX have made filmmaking more accessible to smaller studios and made countless big budget films even better.
And just because we don't like his movies doesn't mean millions of fans are wrong and he shouldn't make them.
They're using "enshittification of mainstream film" as in the film industry, not film the physical media. You can definitely use the term for the film industry. That being said, IDK if I'd attribute its enshittification to Lucas. I'd say it's more capitalism / catering to the lowest common denominator that's causing too much / bad CGI.
Actually it does, my opinions are objectively correct and people who disagree are not only thinking wrong thoughts, but are also feeling emotions that are wrong to feel. Hope that helps.
It's not an opinion to be wrong about actual facts. Hope that helps
Yes, thank you for supporting my point.
