1) Images. 2) Sound. 3) Editing. = A movie.
That's how George Lucas conceives how making a film. It's his first one and he never changed his mind about that. For George Lucas, cinema is like painting or sculpture: a TECHNICAL ART. Writing is not really important. Writing is the last thing that "makes" a film. The images have to tell the story. That's why the Lucas' shorts movies were silent. And the last Lucas' films are always. Images, sound, editing, and not important dialogs: that's how we should see The Phantom Menace or Attack of the Clones.
Look at "Life" is a nice one-minute short which condenses all these concepts. It shows really how this mean to do can create the emotion.
THIS FILM IS PRESENT ON THE DOCUMENTARY ABOUT American ZOETROPE ON THE DVD BONUS OF THX 1138.
