An Imaginary Conversation Between Two Film Producers

“Hey, you know that Vader saying “No” in Episode III became an internet meme, right?”
“What’s that?”
“Meme?’
“Yeah.”
“It’s like, uh, you know. The pictures of kitties you look at sometimes?”
“Oh, the illiterate cats who like food!”
“Yeah.”
“I like those. I can haz and all that. That was basically that movie with Paul Blart, wasn’t it?”
“I don’t know.”
“Yeah, the animals could talk, and then he took an ape to a restaurant.”
“…”
“…at least I never did that in any of my movies.”
“You’ve still got time.”
“Hunh.”
“So, why do you bring up that scene in Episode III?”
“Well, some of these memes are pretty funny, in fact.”
“Like Family Guy funny?”
“No, I mean funny-funny. Robot Chicken funny.”
“Robot Chicken. That’s the show where they make the toys fuck each other, right?”
“No.”
“No, I’m pretty sure that’s where the toys are all like ‘unf unf.’
“…”
“unf.”
“No, God, stop.”
“unnnnnnnffff-”
“–Here, look, check this out. It’s a site called Nooooooooo dot com.”
“This isn’t very internet. It’s just a big blue button.”
“Just click it.”
“There aren’t any frames or anything.”
“Click it.”
(the button is pushed about 30 times in a row)
“Hey, that is funny.”
“Yeah.”
“Hey, don’t you think Seth Green looks sorta like Salacious Crumb?”
“What?”
“Salacious Crumb. Kowakian Lizard Monkey. From Return of the Jedi?”
“I know what Salacious Crumb is. No.”
“It ate Threepio’s eye?”
“I know.”
“He had that really annoying laugh?”
“Yeah, I know.”
“It went like ‘yaaaaaah, yaAH-HA-HA-HAAAAA.”
“….”
“You keep doing that.”
“I know.”
“Don’t you mean ‘I KNOOOOOOOOOOWWWW?”
(hits the button about 3 more times)
“…”
“You know what? I’m thinking for this year’s Christmas card, we put you in the bikini, I go shirtless and we have Seth sit on my tailbone. What do you think?”
“I think we should get rid of the “No” since we’re doing the Blu-Ray changes today.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay. Well. Uh…shit. These films are like a symphony, you know. One echoes the other?”
“I saw that DVD extra, too.”
“You did?”
“I was in it.”
“Oh yeah. I forget you’re around sometimes. Sorry. So anyway, obviously that moment in Episode III is a pretty key moment. I mean, the internet made a button for it.  So if that part of Episode III was that memorable, I need to figure out a way to echo that in Episode 6″
“What? Wait – no. No you don’t.”
“Don’t you mean NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you don’t?”
“No, I don’t.”
“Don’t you mean NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I don’t?”
“I don’t know what you think you’re going to—“
“Don’t you mean you don’t KNOOOOOOOOOW?”
“…”
“…what?”
“Holy shit you’re going to fuckin do this, aren’t you.”
“Get out, Rick.”
“Yes George.”

(door clicks shut)
(the button is pushed another 30 times in a row)

    Something is wrong with me. I take perverse delight in the prospect of this being true, since I’ve believed for almost a decade that Lucas has lost his ability to tell the difference between good film making and bad film making. He’s the big-budget version of Ed Wood.
