The channel Tribeca publishes 'George Lucas on Watching Movies on Phones | Tribeca Talks', a popular People & Blogs video with 29.1K views and 628 reactions.

Twenty-four hours after the new trailer for J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens debuted online and damn near broke Twitter, the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival gave New York City’s biggest fans of the franchise the best possible post-trailer gift: the mastermind himself, George Lucas, in person inside the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC). Making the sweetness even sweeter, Lucas was interviewed on stage as part of this year’s Tribeca Talks® series by Stephen Colbert. And over the course of one laid-back, informative, and often-hilarious hour, the two titans of their respective fields didn’t disappoint.

In this clip, Stephen Colbert asks George Lucas how he feels about the idea that people can now watch movies on their phones. Lucas responds by saying how he makes his movies for the big screen and believes that movies work best on the big screen. Lucas also discusses how he was asked in the past why he does not make his films more friendly to the ancillary market like television for example. He tells the audience “if you want the full experience go see it in a good theater with a good sound system and with lots of people, it works best there.”
