      It's also never fully understood by some that unlike films that are bankrolled by corporations or studios taking out huge loans, Lucas financed the prequels fully on his own dime, and he tried to adhere to a strict budget.
      Though I guess when people buy thousands of dollars in merch, they assume that gives them total control over how a story should play out.

      Brok Homz I completely agree, I can still come to an agreement with some that the first two aren’t really that good. But I can easily forgive all of them because lucas has a huge vision he wants to share. And I completely applaud him for that even if the product in the end isn’t great.

      My intro to Star Wars was the original in 1977 when I was 8, but I still loved Episode 1.

      LMAO "miss the magic of Star Wars"...
      Sorry, I don't mean to be a hater, or condescending but man... so thoroughly disagree.
      The same has been said about the prequels, that the magic simply wasn't there anymore. I think there is more things "Star Wars" about the more recent movies than the prequels. The new ones are produced by the same people who produced or directed Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi - and it's noticeable.
      The prequels need to be remade, or at least re-edited. And actually, they have been ... in a way. Somebody on UA-cam made his own version of the prequels that he calls "De-cheesed version". He cut out most scenes with Jar-Jar, rearranged some of the events, and kept it serious through out of the movie. I find it hilarious that somebody out there, a fan, made a better movie than pros George Lucas and Rick McCallum were able to do.

      " I think there is more things "Star Wars" about the more recent movies than the prequels" ....considering that 7 and 8 are a fucking rehash of the OT , it's not hard . Lucas at least came out with originalty when he did the prequels .and they expanded the star wars universe greatly .Sure they have some flaws , but to me overall , they are great .i 'd take the prequels any day over the disney trash . to me only rogue one was ok ..and solo ..was acceptable.

    My oh my so much has changed since this interview. For one thing I have much respect and admiration for George Lucas. He is a legend, and nobody can deny that. His last directly involved movies may have hit a sour note with critics, but this was his story, his galaxy far, far away that he's envisioned. When you're passionate for what you do you don't care what others think. You do it because it's who you are and what you love.

    I will forever respect George Lucas. Not only did he make one of the greatest films of all time (Star Wars, as a 6-part Soap Opera-Serial dubbed “The Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker”, finally completed in 2011 with the last of the OT Special Editions), he also created ILM, which helped make the CGI for The Abyss (1988), and a dozen more iconic movies 20 years before Marvel started making films. He’s also a vastly more interesting filmmaker that half of the top directors today. The man’s a pioneer of modern cinema, not only in terms of film as a visual and poetic art form but in special effects, etc., and I hope he will be respected and remembered as such. And no, I don’t blame him for selling Lucasfilm to Disney. I hope he’s able to make his own little movies now, even though I am a bit saddened at the prospect of the general audience probably never seeing them. George Lucas always has been and will continue to be my inspiration, the one I admire, the one I like to study, and a meaningful part of my love for cinema.

    George Lucas is the man. In my mind, Revenge of the Sith is pretty damn close to being a masterpiece. Too few people produce truly high quality tragedies these days. The only Star wars film I could argue as being better than Revenge of the Sith is the Empire Strikes back, though that question is of course completely subjective.
    Seeing this interview today, I cannot help but think that George Lucas would never have sold the rights to Star Wars to Disney if he had any idea that they were going to make the films the way they did. Even for 4 Billion dollars. You can see the attachment he holds for this series in his eyes. I am sure that Star Wars is an immense source of pride for him. This fact just makes me feel sympathy for Lucas, and makes me hate Disney, Kathleen Kennedy and J.J. Abrams to my bones, because these people dragged one of the best series ever made through the mud, for no apparent reason. Any sane individual could see that producing a trilogy with barely any original or creative content, literally recycling story lines and villains from the previous works almost verbatim, is a terrible idea. Even disregarding this, the story is not even coherent and consistent. Disney was so negligent that they clearly didn't even bother to create an outline for the trilogy before making the movies. Palpatine being brought back from the dead, beyond ruining the ending of the return of the Jedi, is proof of this half assed, unplanned approach to writing. Even within the trilogy itself, there is a tremendous amount of inconsistency, with each movie contradicting the film which preceded it. I seriously do not know what Disney was thinking. I could have written a far better story. Most people probably could have with the bar being so low.
    Anyway, I digress. George Lucas is the man. Disney has gone to the dark side. We should get our revenge by pushing through harsh anti-trust legislation ^_^.

    Say what you want about his filmmaking, directing, or editing, but one thing that nobody can take away from George Lucas is how much of a devoted and dedicated father he has been, ever since he first adopted Amanda way back when Return of the Jedi was being finished up.
    To raise one adopted child as a single father is something that says volumes about what kind of person he is, let alone three.
    I think George Lucas is a genius for inventing the World I escape to the most in my life, and I have additional respect for him as a human being for what he's done for those kids.
    None of whom were his paternal offspring to begin with, and still treated and raised better than most kids are. Whether they're raised by both of their own parents or not.
    And, to provide them with the best possible lives he's not only worked his A off creating multiple film making industries, from LucasArts, Lucasfilm, and ILM to the digital effects technology that would eventually become Pixar Animation Studios.
    In his efforts to avoid being constrained by the Hollywood Studio establishment, he's effectively become one of, If not THE, most influential and consequential Media "Moguls," in the industry today.
    No movie gets made to this day that hasn't passed through a Company that George Lucas wasn't involved or wholly responsible for inventing.
    (Just look at the credits following ANY movie you can think of, and if "Industrial Light and Magic," doesn't appear somewhere, as having some hand in helping the production, it's arguably not even a movie worth watching. And that's just I.L.M., which George Lucas was forced to create just so realizing his original Star Wars vision could be possible.)
    It's not enough to say he's set industry standards filmmakers are still working under today, because he literally invented those standards outright.
    All so he could provide the best possible life he could, by himself, for three children who he adopted.
    That's impressive.
    Most impressive. 👍
