Are you actually trying to argue that Lucas hasn't lost his touch? He hasn't done anything significant since 1989. |

I think the reaction he got towards the prequels definitely killed his appetite for making more. I'm not arguing anything. I'm stating that I hope he takes his money and technology and uses it to become the Filmmaker he wanted to be. |

What George failed to realize is that it was the studio pressure that he hated so much that acted as a perfect catalyst for his greatness. They reigned him in when he started doing stupid ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and wisely kicked his ass out of the directorial chair of episodes 4 and 5. No one challenged him on the prequels, and well.... we've got Anakin building C3P0 and Jar Jar Binks stepping in ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. |

He felt he needed to focus on the special effects. He was so busy building ILM during EP5 he was almost never on the set. After EP4 he has never had to listen to the studio for anything. He does what he wants. Even with EP4 I don't think he had a lot of pressure because they had no idea what he was doing it was so new and different. All that aside I do agree with you that George's downfall as a filmmaker is that he got so big that nobody could give him constructive criticism. If you saw any of Rick McCallum's interviews during the 90's his job seemed to be to both kiss George's ass and promote him as a genius. He got Producer credit for it. |

If he wanted to be make more films like THX 1138 he could have. Instead he chose Howard the Duck and Jar Jar. |
