[QUOTE="Bonsai_Tree_Ent, post: 470578, member: 3845"] Lucas was indeed by all accounts reduced to a nervous breakdown making Star Wars, and that undoubtedly left a scar on him. He'd probably have directed a load more movies if he'd had a smoother ride. And then when he was ready to return with The Phantom Menace, much the same happened again. Awful production woes and storms destroying the location, and then a really toxic reaction (obviously the fandom was now closer than ever thanks to the internet, no buffer). I believe that George put a lot of himself into The Phantom Menace. His big love in life has always been cars and racing and the Podrace is the meat of the movie, so I think it is a personal film for him. For me, he kind of gave up after that. He phoned in Attack of The Clones and Revenge Of The Sith. ROTS was the first Star Wars film to not feature any location shooting at all. The whole movie was filmed in the studio using greenscreen. Lucas was an extremely comfortable billionaire, the hunger was gone, he had stopped caring and it was good that he sold up. [/QUOTE]
