So, I was like, Well, I got to create this whole cloth. What could I use? What would extend it? And I was like, oh, you know, it f***ing kills every time I do that Lord of the Rings bit. So, Elias is not just a Jesus guy but a Lord of the Rings guy, and Randal is more like a f***ing original trilogy guy, Star Wars guy. Clerks came right out of my real life I just changed names. And while most of Clerks II is made up-it’s just Kevin Smith having fun with his characters and telling a heartwarming story-he did pull from real-life conversations and Q&A acts to write some of the films. There was now a prequel trilogy for Star Wars and Lord of the Rings was a massive success. Smith’s characters continued to make pop culture references throughout his movies because he realized, while no one was necessarily having these conversations on a regular basis, everyone knew what S tar Wars was by the ‘90s.įast forward to 2006, when Smith revisited Dante and Randall in Clerks II, pop culture exploded. Death Star ContractorsĪnd that’s how the Death Star contractors’ scene was born for Clerks. This was at a time when they were just three huge movies and then they stopped and that was that - they were memories. And it occurred to me that, oh, everyone likes Star Wars now. And the deeper Scott and I got into talking about Star Wars, the paper went down, and the dude just leaned back and started listening. I’ll never forget: There was a dude in my periphery who was reading a newspaper.
#My oh my star wars movie
I try a Star Wars conversation out on Scott because I watch the trilogy one night, and then we go to the coffee shop between classes and I start hitting him up with, ‘It occurs to me that with the Emperor being a kind of holy figure, this is a movie about theocracy.’ Scott was agnostic to the point of atheist, I was Catholic, so we start breaking it down. Then, me and Scott Mosier met at the Vancouver Film School. After having a conversation with Scott Mosier, his friend, and one-time producer, about Star Wars, he brought a similar conversation into Clerks.
If you’ve seen Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Clerks II, and most of Smith’s movies-including his latest Clerks III, which he currently touring around the country with-then you also know that the director injects a lot of his own life into his films.
And she’s like, ‘Well, that’s not what happened.’ So, the over-analysis of Star Wars begins with Kim Loughran. So the movie ends, and for the next two hours, I kept talking to Kim about this scene - if he just spins and cuts through the back of the chair and cuts this dude in half. We got to that third act where Luke finally goes for it, and Vader blocks the shot. The origins of that scene go back to me watching Return of the Jedi for probably the 28th time with my then ex-girlfriend Kim Loughran at her house. When this movie came out, the internet hadn’t gone mainstream, but that conversation is what the internet would become. But, as he tells the Good One podcast, the over-analysis of Star Wars began after rewatching Return of the Jedi. Like most kids his age, he played with his friends, recreating scenes from the movies or creating brand new ones. At 7 years old, Smith was the perfect age for Star Wars (now more commonly known as A New Hope). Then she meets Ben.A post shared by Kevin Smith you’re a fan of Kevin Smith, you know that his love of Star Wars runs deep. Rey is working another dead-end job trying to make ends meet.
