1/2 Very much enjoying the Bechdel Cast LIVE on the topic of the Star Wars prequels.
Here is EVERY TIME WOMEN INTERACT in the Star Wars prequels (it’s 2.5 minutes long)

Live podcast recording, CW, includes Obi Wan + Darth Maul erotic fan fiction 😆

And here, dear reader, is Marcia Lucas, George Lucas’s ex-wife, describing her reaction to The Phantom Menace (I learned of this from the podcast):
❝George is, in his heart and soul, a good guy and a talented filmmaker. I wish he would’ve kept directing [other kinds of] movies. But when I went to see Episode I — I had a friend who worked at ILM, who took me as a guest to a preview — I cried. I cried because I didn’t think it was very good. And I thought he had such a rich vein to mine, a rich palette to tell stories with. He had all those characters. I thought it was weird that the story was about this little boy who looked like he was six years old, but then later on he’s supposed to get with this princess who looked like she was twenty years old. There were things I didn’t like about the casting, and things I didn’t like about the story…it was a lot of eye candy.
