[QUOTE="Lee Bullock, post: 371241, member: 450"] Lucas massively lost perspective - he made a big mistake writing and directing the prequels, Star Wars was at its best when more talented writers and directors took the helm - Empire Strikes Back being the case in point. He is a great ideas man and conceptualist but as an actual film maker? No, he is mediocre at best. He became a victim of his own ego in my opinion and made the mistake of not recognising what he is good at and not good at. Lucas is not a sacred cow and he is not the embodiment of Star Wars. Star Wars is now a global cultural phenomena and it was about time better film makers were allowed to reinvigorate the franchise. I would sooner have a deep, character-driven movie without Lucas' involvement than one with him that is limping home. I respect Lucas for what he achieved but I am tired of the deification of him.
