Yeah, it smacked of pure GL throughout.
When it bombed worse than an Edsall at a stockcar rally, he went out of his way to remove every copy he could, even tried denying it existed.
One of the more recent things said was that “the network executives wanted it to be a variety show format.”
Whether that is true, who knows.
GL and his “pet ideas” are really odd to watch in action.
His “attack and savage the fans” because they disliked Jar-Jar was bizarre by itself.
JJ Abrams Star Trek had some good bloopers, like Nero’s villain monogue, “Spock...will die, Kirk..will die, JJ Abrams will die..”
loved the blooper reels.
