Hey, heads up to all Star Wars fans, George Lucas is siding with generative AI.

Now, I’m not exactly surprised he’s pro-technology since robots and futuristic technology is featured heavily in Star Wars, and James Earl Jones gave permission for the studio to AI his voice for after his death, but the fact Lucas supports generative AI when he can easily find out why its a terrible idea, it sucks, especially since Star Wars is making important work like Andor.

I might continue checking out his older media, but I don’t think I want to continue this franchise if his studio takes his words as permission to remove artists and use AI.

The original trilogy had scenes that were hand painted, each stroke so precise that it blended in with the actual sets.

The designs for aliens are so vastly unique and had to go through thousands of designs before they were released.

The cast cherished their roles, with actors like Peter Mayhew dressing up as Chewbacca to brighten the lives of children at his hospital.

The costume and prop departments busted their asses off to bring your vision to life during a time when they would of had a significantly smaller budget.

Yet you have the fucking nerve to call their efforts a waste of time, that the skills they developed and enjoyed should be replaced with stolen work.

Why are you watching a mystery instead of going to a real clifftop mansion and killing your long‐lost aunt for her secret inheritance?

Why are you reading Moby Dick when you could let a real whale eat your leg?

that question of all people

who enjoy fiction.
