Oh, of course, a creative genius. How could I have forgotten? How silly of me.'Lucas is a creative genious' is a statement, numbnuts, not an explanation.
*sigh*
I think some fans (not saying you) tend to confuse Lucas creative writting skills with directing. Which of course are two very different things. Sure, Lucas has a grand imagination but directing skills is something he lacks occasionally in certain films.

Well anyway I think George was a good director he certantly isisnt a good directer anymore, the latest SW was a bit good, better then I expected, but nuthing to come close to the first 2 of the old trilogy, now his altest stuff wasint anything special thats fir sure, I was a bit pissed of when I saw the Ben Hur ripoff race in epi1, thats just as so today's directors, ripping of all the greats, I hope he wont make anymore movies, I think we'r better of wthout them, he sure did boost the Specail effects that I give him
Very well said Lord_Andres.I could not have said it better myself. 🤘 👆 👆

Let's not instigate one another.The thing is, George Lucas, in principle, is an opportunistic hack. There's a lot to support this opinion, should anyone else share it, but I feel as if it's an underlying truth, and if someone were to put their mind to it, they could do what George Lucas has done theoretically. Tarantino has done it easily, except QT can write a coherent script. Lucas is recognized for his INFLUENCES more than he is for his actual accomplishments.
He makes more money than all of us put together, so who cares!
That's true.
But some people think money equals greatness.
If im not mistaken, hasnt George Lucus done alot of the creation and improvement of special effects (ILM) and improvement of sound and video (THX)?
As a director though, not soo good. The last three Star Wars are an example of this. Just think if Lucus hired somebody like Chris Nolan to do atleast one of them, how much better the movie would of been.
One day some one will write a book about him, someone who worked along side him for years. One chapter will be about how he completely messed up the prequels, because of his own selfishness. How he couldn't do a love scene to save his fat arse. And how he made Natalie Portman look like a complete Dodo in Episode III. And you say C-Dic he didn't direct ESB, no wonder its my Favourite.
