Who abused a lightsaber for combing hair, the scalp burns; who wants to polish them with a laser gun shoes, losing a few toes; and who for forty years more and more in the width zerlaufendes film and mass culture historical subject writes a nearly eight hundred page book on a without helps to add a name index, a property and subjects register, a list of literature, or at least a few links to the internet the fruits of his hard labor , should go see under the heading “use value” in Wikipedia.

The fact that the people who Chris Taylor’s very extensive have not thought of, but also very entertaining and exhaustive in any sense of the word book monsters “like Star Wars conquered the universe” because a paper chunk has no search function and with expressive weak subheads like “appearance” or “Using the Universe” no Aas can remember which facts, rumors and lies can be found in the relevant chapters, is the bad news.

                         
         
         
                                                             

George Lucas as a contradiction Beast

The good news is that Taylor can write, unlike the way and his hero George Lucas, he never transfigured, rather than just the bipolar one hand hippie way dreamy, on the other hand highly efficient portrayed when working with thousands of people with classic charismatic leadership talented opposition beast that had to create its own cosmos, because they are still at the stoned, grandiose sheer plans life sustainable in the present here and now the seventies neither in the hardened film coterie of New Hollywood unproductive corner uprights with influenced by Tolkien or heavy metal Comics visions fit to which he then as a colleague would always be able to count.

                         
         
         
                                                                                   

         
         
                                                             

The young film artist Lucas, of the intended sterile and oppressive journeyman work “THX 1138″ (1971) and the para realistic Wohlfühlkomödchen “American Graffiti” (1973) had stepped from the shadow of Arthur Penn, Francis Ford Coppola and Stanley Kubrick, which at the time dominated the scene, must, if you will believe Taylor, have been already blessed with all the weaknesses and strengths and punished, which can be in his world-famous later creations and their progeny prove until now and the creator of “Star Wars” himself and dominant cinema Märchenonkel Digital Science Fantasy predisposed: dialogues, acting leadership and coherent character motivation the man did not give a lot of effects, overwhelmed dramaturgy and world escape velocity contrast, more than anyone ever before him

slow-witted

Above all, however, the show Selbstzeugnisse which cites Taylor, he could not write, that is: Everything conceptual, with more precise words he was a stranger, so painful. “Sometimes,” he is said to have described his writing process, “the ideas are so verschwurbelt that you think you will be depressed, depressed intolerable.”


                         
         
         
                                                             

The production of visual and acoustic art experiences that can be hardly described with words, should an author who so suffered his word finding difficulties, as the last resort to be published before the choking the voice poison – where others with the thesaurus or the Three -Akte scheme moved their substances to the body, Lucas threw on the sound (“Skywalker Sound”) and the flash (“Industrial Light and Magic”), and the rest is history.

                         
         
         
                                                             

An obituary lifetime

That is worth remembering at Chris Taylor quite literally: He tells of “Star Wars” as something that is as a market phenomenon and attention Vacuums for millions in full swing, but whose Will but must be regarded as complete. The so far poorly understood, because just now young and only a single film beating to Beech era after the sale of the “Star Wars” -Gesamtpakets at Disney, in the matter of control by George Lucas is dismissed, reads in Taylor as a Epilogue to something he dissected in detail, but pleasant enough, never explain with some high-strung, all contradictory madness overarching thesis investigated.

At the end of Taylor Lucas donated almost an obituary in his lifetime: “Star Wars,” it says here, “had leached him, pressed against the wall, and now it had left his first master in the lurch.” The hero is doing, what heroes sometimes need to make – a sad figure, already true. But not bad.
