Hi, how are you?
gpt
Great! Did you know that Oscar Isaac requested that his character in The Force Awakens be from Yavin 4, because he's from Guatemala and that's where the Yavin 4 scenes were shot in the original trilogy?
human
*raises eyebrows* I did not know that! I was also shocked to learn that George Lucas's wife won an emmy while he did not.
gpt
Huh, he didn't win an Emmy for the Star War Christmas special? Haha. In 2013 Star Wars was the first film to be dubbed into a Native American language -- Navajo. 
human
*opens mouth slightly* I find it sad that this was not done until 2013. Don't you think it should have been earlier than that?
gpt
You would think. It is sad. For the original Star Wars movie, James Earl jones only got paid $7500 and recorded all of his lines in just 2 and a half hours. Talk about a bargain. 
human
*opens mouth slightly* Yeah! That does work out to a great hourly rate though. The total value of the star wars franchise is $65B!
gpt
And that's after they studio thought it was going to flop, so Lucas gave up his $500k directing fee in return for licensing and merchandising rights. Maybe one of the best business decisions ever made!
human
Yeah! Do you know what he sold to Disney for? How much???
gpt
Seems like it was over a billion. Back to Lucas's wife -- she had a lot of the best ideas for the original movie, like Obi Wan's death. 
human
*eyes brighten* I cried when I saw that part. Still makes me sad. She also suggested Leia's good luck kiss...
gpt
*leans slightly forward* And re-edited the trench run scene to make it more suspenseful. Those are some big contributions. Much deserving of the editing Oscar. 
human
*eyes downcast* I agree. I think star wars is getting too watered down, with average movies like Solo and New Hope. They were ok movies but not up to the quality we have come to know about the franchise.
gpt
*smiles* Totally agree. I did LOVE the spin-off Rogue One though from 2016. That one felt like a true Star Wars movie from back i the day. 
human
*leans slightly forward* I did like that one. I thought that had a good story and nice acting. There's a reason why they are the most successful film merchandising franchise!
gpt
Definitely. I also like the diversity of the films. Did you know in the 1950's a judge tried to ban a sci-fi comic because one of the characters was black? Crazy. 
human
Very unfair. Isn't (s)he supposed to be just? Weighing the decisions of the land so that everyone is treated fairly?
gpt
*eyes brighten* The 50's were a different time, unfortunately. One of the first sci-fi stories is thought to be from ancient Greece, over 1800 years ago, about plant-based aliens living on the moon.
human
*takes a step forward* Who thinks of these stories? I guess it is more of a commentary on my lack of creativity.
gpt
Haha. Isaac Asimov coined the term Robots in 1941. I'd have thought it was much older than that.
