    Yoosh, the man himself ? As a visionary producer, striker of lore; unparalleled.
    As a director .. meh, at best.

    No way around it, the movies he directed are the weakest in the saga.
    Use your feelings, you know it is true.

    Agreed. Im a huge fan of George and I think he cops a lot of unwanted flack over the prequels.

    I love and adore George Lucas. With that said its time to move past some of his concepts in Star Wars like Jedi having weird rules etc, and nobody is above CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. My opinion of George is he's a great visual director and concept guy who has a place in history for his vision. He's not a great writer though and he works best when working with someone like Lawrence Kasdan or Irvin Kershner.

    Btw, do you know that George Lucas was inspired by Joseph Campbell, the famous mythologist akin to Carl Jung and Mircea Eliade? Thus the mystical and esoteric themes in Lucas' works/

    I think George Lucas forgot to give TC-14 dialogue aboard The Blockade Runner in ANH when he re-specialized The Special Editions in 2002. Its a very plausible Easter Eggs that Imperial Droids like TC14 could be reprogrammed like K2SO by a financially strapped group of freedom fighters in ANH. Where else would a Rebel or a Rogue get the idea of a Battle Station or The wherabouts of a Jedi in exile than a Separatist Droid. That dramatic pause onboard the ship in ANH signifies some missing elusive information.

    I know that in All the Star Wars films you expressed the conflict of Good vs. Evil in demonstrating The Darkside of The Force vs. The Light. Did you also demonstrate The Conflict in other ways? The Conflict of Automoton Technolized Terror vs. The Symbiote Relationship between Man Woman Alien and Beast. And That Droids and Machine can serve Man and Alienkind and work together in promoting and developing an advanced Utopian and a once Atlantian Society of individuals adoptive to The Wise Thinkers of The Greeks of Athens?

    I am glad you left out the Biggs Darklighter scenes because it seems like his character walked the line between The Empire and The Rebels. He seemed more like an Imperial spy. I think he was trying to be Lukes friend to get information about Ben Kenobi for The Imperial Citys Central Computer. On Tatooine. For the cut scenes. Even during The Trench scene in ANH he demonstrated poor piloting ability and one or more times getting lost and Luke having to protect his ASS!

    I like the idea JJ Abrahms and his team went into developing Captain Phasma. I like to Think that if Luke fell to The Dark Side he would not only become an agent of evil. He would have become A super stormtrooper with a lightsaber. A White suited Boba Fett to command the undead armies of fallen Jedi, ARC Troopers and Imperial Grand Moffs from before. In a Grand Deathtrooper Battalions of The Reborn Dead Army.

    I love George Lucas. He created my favorite movie universe. I liked the prequels less than the originals, but didn't dislike him over it. I like the special edition changes, but I was excited to see them when they were announced and didn't mind the concept of making them. I'd say the only thing he's done that I don't care for is suppressing the original theatrical versions and some of the things he's said over the years regarding them. I imagine he's had to put up with much worse being said to him though. He's a perfectionist, and I think that leads him to try and rewrite history in some instances to make everything the way he wants.

    Anyone who loves Star Wars and cinema in general owes him a debt of gratitude. He's a giant of the industry and movies wouldn't be what they are today without him.

    Love ya George, now release the Originals!

    Hey guys, what are your feelings on the current and future state of Star Wars going forward without the direction and consultation of George? Are you worried, optimistic, etc?
