Grand Master
George Lucas only wants surrounded by Yes men - hence Rick McCallum. You stand up to George and you're gone.
George is an incredible visionary. He is incredible at telling stories, borrowing ideas and adapting them, world building, character names etc...
But he is not a good director or producer. I never understand the term 'Lucas purist' because I don't think it exists.
Look at ANH. Rinzler's book is heavily edited and I believe to be incorrect often, yet reading those it is clear that at times the whole team pulled together to make the movie. I think Marcia was incredibly important to the success of ANH.
His dialogue is terrible. There are terrible lines in all of the movies.
