Star Wars TV series - Rick McCallum interview

Jun 6, 2012

Share on Reddit
We sat down with longtime Lucasfilm producer Rick McCallum to chat about the live-action Star Wars TV series, George Lucas, and more...

In town to promote Lucasfilm's long-gestating Red Tails, Rick McCallum spared us the time for a chat about his long producing career, collaborations with Dennis Potter, plans for the live-action Star Wars TV series, and what really makes George Lucas tick...

You worked quite extensively with Dennis Potter during the 1980s on a whole range of projects. It’s hard to imagine a film like Dreamchild (the 1985 Potter scripted film about ‘Alice in Wonderland’ author, Lewis Carroll) getting made now.

There’s no way it would.

    OK.  So what?    Yeah OK he was behind the "special" editions of episodes 4, 5 and 6 in the 1990's  He knows how to put a good technical team together and execute well.  OK I'll give him that.  But there's more to being a good producer than putting a technical team together.  A good producer needs to tell the director when when they're wrong.  A good producer needs to be able to tell the writer (or in Lucas' case writer/director) when the script and plot are crap!  Rick McCallum failed to tell Lucas that the direction and plot of Episodes 1, 2 and 3 were bad.  Rick McCallum failed at his job on Episodes 1,2 and 3 and there is no reason to think that this live action TV show would be any different in terms of quality.  I will likely pass.

    You wanted him (producer) to convince George Lucas (exec producer, creator, writer, director, god) that 1, 2, and 3 were bad? It's George Lucas and Star Wars! I don't think you can blame anybody for those but Lucas. How could anyone tell him that his vision of the world that he created is wrong? I gotta think Lucas was running a my way or the highway kinda ship.
