SUMMARY:The Super Sunday Double Feature: Radioland Murders & Red Tails
DESCRIPTION:Now through September\, we’re celebrating George Lucas’ 80th birthday with Super Sunday Double Feature virtual watch parties! Lucas turned 80 on May 14\, 2024. Perhaps best known for the Star Wars and Indiana Jones series\, we are exploring some of his lesser well-known films. \nThe Super Sunday Double Feature pays homage to classic movie matinees\, TV weekend movies\, and drive-in double features. We’ll be watching two films that George Lucas was instrumental in bringing to the big screen. \nThe double feature begins at 11 AM ET (10 AM CT\, 9 AM MT\, 8 AM PT\, 15:00 GMT) and runs all day. \nRadioland Murders will air at the following times: \n\n11:00 AM ET / 10:00 AM CT / 9:00 AM MT / 8:00 AM PT\n3:15 PM ET / 2:15 PM CT / 1:15 PM MT / 12:15 PM PT\n7:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM CT / 5:30 PM MT / 4:30 PM PT\n11:45 PM ET / 10:45 PM CT / 9:45 PM MT / 8:45 PM PT\n4:00 AM ET / 3:00 AM CT / 2:00 AM MT / 1:00 AM PT\n\nRed Tails will air at these times: \n\n1:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM CT / 11:00 AM MT / 10:00 AM PT\n5:15 PM ET / 4:15 PM CT / 3:15 PM MT / 2:15 PM PT\n9:30 PM ET / 8:30 PM CT / 7:30 PM MT / 6:30 PM PT\n1:45 AM ET / 12:45 AM CT / 11:45 PM MT / 10:45 PM PT\n6:00 AM ET / 5:00 AM CT / 4:00 AM MT / 3:00 AM PT\n\nThis is a ten-minute intermission with vintage commercials and trailers between each movie. \nThese virtual watch parties are free but exclusive to members of the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord server. Join our Discord server free now at discord.gg/galaxysedge. \n\nRadioland Murders (1994) [PG]\nDirected by Mel Smith\, Radioland Murders pays homage to classic screwball comedies. Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz originally wrote the screenplay following 1973’s American Graffiti\, based on a story by George Lucas. While Universal Studio announced the film was in development\, it remained unproduced throughout the 70s and 80s. \nLucas returned to the idea in the 90s\, but Universal was concerned that certain aspects of the script were no longer relevant to the MTV generation. On the advice of Ron Howard\, he hired Jeff Reno and Ron Osborn to revise the script. Reno and Osborn had previously worked on the hit TV series Moonlighting. \nThe ensemble cast includes Brian Benben\, Mary Stuart Masterson\, Scott Michael Campbell\, Michael Lerner\, and Ned Beatty. Michael McKean\, Bobcat Goldthwait\, Jeffrey Tambor\, Christopher Lloyd\, Billy Barty\, and Rosemary Clooney also appear in smaller roles or cameos. \nIt is also the final film appearance by legendary comedian and actor George Burns. Burns started as a vaudevillian comedian before transitioning to the radio and later TV and film. \nRadioland Murders was considered a box office bomb\, failing to recoup its production budget. It also received mostly negative reviews from critics. Still\, it has a small fanbase today to enjoy its slap-stick comedy. \n\nRed Tails (2012) [PG-13]\nRed Tails is a historical drama about the Tuskegee Airmen. George Lucas first conceived the film in the late 80s\, but production didn’t find track until the 2000s. \nLucas hired John Ridley to write the screenplay in 2007 and also discussed bringing in Samuel L. Jackson to direct and star in the movie. Ultimately\, he chose Anthony Hemingway\, who he had worked with on the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. George Lucas later directed reshoots written by The Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder. \nTerrence Howard and Cuba Gooding Jr. star\, with an ensemble cast that includes Nate Parker\, David Oyelowo\, Tristan Wilds\, Ne-Yo\, Elijah Kelley\, Marcus T. Paulk\, Leslie Odom Jr.\, Michael B. Jordan\, Method Man\, Bryan Cranston\, Kevin Phillips\, Andre Royo\, Lee Tergesen\, Gerald McRaney\, and Daniela Ruah. \nDistributed by 20th Century Fox\, it was the last film produced by Lucasfilm before being purchased by The Walt Disney Company in 2012. It failed to make back its production budget and received mixed reviews from critics. \nWhile it was criticized for its historical inaccuracies\, Lucas and the writers and director never intended to make a faithful representation. \nHow Do You Watch?\nYou can watch for free on the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord server. We’ll be broadcasting from Meetup Room 1\, and you can text chat with others while you watch. \nNew to Discord? Discord is a free messaging and discussion app available on all major mobile devices and computer operating systems.

While they might occasionally include a blockbuster\, they mostly showed mid-range hits and cult classics. \nAdapting those ideas to our modern age\, we wanted to focus on George Lucas’ work outside of the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises. Still\, Lucas played a pivotal role in making each one of these movies. \nPlus\, we already host virtual watch parties for the Star Wars movies and are looking at options for an Indiana Jones special presentation in the future. \nWhat Is the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord?\nThe Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord is a fan-run group celebrating all things Star Wars and Disney parks.

George Lucas served as an Executive Producer on the film\, with Lucasfilm producing and Industrial Light & Magic doing special effects. \nAround the time they were working on American Graffiti\, George Lucas told Huyck and Katz about the Howard the Duck comic\, calling it “very funny.” Lucas\, Huyck\, and Katz all attended film school at the University of Southern California. \nThe cast includes Lea Thompson\, Jeffrey Jones\, and Tim Robbins in one of his first film roles. Ed Gale and Jordan Prentice performed Howard the Duck\, with Tim Rose\, Steve Sleap\, Peter Baird\, Mary Wells\, and Lisa Sturz acting as additional puppeteers. \nChip Zien provided Howard’s voice\, with John Cusack\, Robin Williams\, and Martin Short all auditioning for the role. Williams was initially cast\, working for work a week before quitting because it was too constraining to match the movements of the mouth. \nDistributed by Universal Pictures\, it was a critical and commercial flop\, barely making back its production budget. Still\, it was one of the first theatrical comic book movies and has developed a small cult following. \n\nWillow (1988) [PG]\nWillow is a 1988 fantasy epic directed by Ron Howard and written by Bob Dolman based on a story by George Lucas. Lucas originally came up with the idea in 1972 and pitched it to Howard in 1985. Lucas had previously directed Howard in his 1973 film American Graffiti. \nWarwick Davis stars as the title character\, an aspiring sorcerer\, with Valmer playing the swordsman Madmartigan. The cast also includes Joanne Whalley\, Jean Marsh\, Patricia Hayes\, Gavan O’Herlihy\, Pat Roach\, Kevin Pollak\, Rick Overton\, and Billy Barty. \nDistributed by MGM/UA\, it underperformed at the box office and received mixed reviews from critics. However\, it fared much better on home video release and has developed a strong cult following. \nHow Do You Watch?\nYou can watch for free on the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord server. We’ll be broadcasting from Meetup Room 1\, and you can text chat with others while you watch. \nNew to Discord?

SUMMARY:The Super Sunday Double Feature: THX-1138 & American Graffiti
DESCRIPTION:Now through September\, we’re celebrating George Lucas’ 80th birthday with Super Sunday Double Feature virtual watch parties! Lucas turned 80 on May 14\, 2024. Perhaps best known for the Star Wars and Indiana Jones series\, we are exploring some of his lesser well-known films. \nJoin us Sunday\, June 16 for George Lucas’ first two films\, THX-1138 (1971) and American Graffiti (1973). Both were co-written and directed by Lucas before he began developing the Star Wars saga. \nThe Super Sunday Double Feature pays homage to classic movie matinees\, TV weekend movies\, and drive-in double features. We’ll be watching two films that George Lucas was instrumental in bringing to the big screen. \nThe double feature begins at 11 AM ET (10 AM CT\, 9 AM MT\, 8 AM PT\, 15:00 GMT) and runs all day. Each program will include a short intermission in between each feature film. Look for specific showtimes close to the events. \nThese virtual watch parties are free but exclusive to members of the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord server. Join our Discord server free now at discord.gg/galaxysedge. \n\nTHX-1138 (1971) [PG]\nGeorge Lucas’ first film\, THX-1138 explores a dystopian society where mind-altering drugs are mandated to keep humans complacent and productive. Lucas co-wrote the film with Walter Murch\, expanding on his earlier student film. Although set in the future\, it explores Lucas’ views on American society in the late 1960s. \nIt stars Robert Duvall as the titular THX\, with Donald Pleasence\, Don Pedro Colley\, Maggie McOmie\, and Ian Wolfe in supporting roles. Produced by Lucas’ and Francis Ford Coppola’s American Zoetrope\, it was distributed by Warner Bros. THX-1138 received mixed reviews from critics and failed to meet Warner Bros. box office expectations. However\, it became a cult classic in later years. \n\nAmerican Graffiti (1973) [PG]\nLucas’ second film\, American Graffiti\, is a coming-of-age story based loosely on his own experiences with the cruising culture of the early 1960s. Lucas turned to Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz for help writing the script. The three attended film school at the University of Southern California together. \nThe ensemble cast includes Richard Dreyfuss\, Ron Howard\, Paul Le Mat\, Charles Martin Smith\, Cindy Williams\, Candy Clark\, Harrison Ford\, Mackenzie Phillips\, and Bo Hopkins. Popular 60s radio DJ Wolfman Jack also appears throughout the film. Ford would go on to star in Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) and several other Star Wars films\, along with the titular character in the Indian Jones franchise. \nAmerican Graffiti was produced by Francis Ford Coppola and distributed by Universal Pictures. Although Universal was reluctant to release it\, It went on to be a critical and commercial success. \nHow Do You Watch?\nYou can watch for free on the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord server.

As such\, it appeared on different channels and times depending on where you lived. \nAbout the Star Wars Episode of The Muppet Show\nThe Star Wars episode of The Muppet Show originally aired on February 29\, 1980 in the UK. It was one of several The Empire Strikes Back promotional appearances\, coming out three months ahead of the movie. \nThe show featured guest stars Mark Hamill\, Peter Mayhew\, Anthony Daniels\, and R2-D2. As with many productions at this time\, the show used a remote control R2-D2. \nThe episode features Muppet News Flash and Pigs In Space\, two classic skits that appear throughout the series. The Star Wars characters play a prominent role in the Pigs In Space skit. \nWhat Is the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord?\nThe Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord is a fan-run group celebrating all things Star Wars and Disney parks.
