Hollywood standards! What is Hollywood standards these days? I tell you the truth, there is better stuff being produced in independant film making and story writing than Hollywood. Original ideas and amazeing stories mostly are generated in the independant market. Look at me for instance, I am not known but I am currently working on a series of stories where I write it, illustrate it, and get it published or share it with individuals at a comic book convention or some kind of expo where if people like it can easily start my career. Sadly enough though, most of the independant filmakers and writers like myself turn into the very thing that they are against. That is the corporate identity of Hollywood. George Lucas is a prime example of such a case. He started out as a person like you and I working in his own home, belonging to an independant filmaking guild called "American Zoatrobe." One day he comes up with a story called Star Wars and boom, he is on his way to Hollywood. All his life he wanted to stay independant but without even knowing it he became the very thing he hates, a corprate identity.
Now Lorne if he is smart will avoid turning into a little piece of Hollywood because so far its seems as if he is avoiding the constraints of Hollywood such as publishing issues and creative control issues. He wants complete control of his product which is a good thing. I am glad he is out of the game industry because for a little bit he was becoming Hollywood and now at least he understands that.
