      I made a comment critical of the gentleman in the picture beside her that youtube felt the need to memory hole.
      But I stand by the other thing I said. There have been lots of books and videogames made with little to no input from Lucas that are good. George isn't infallible either, I still don't like the prequels.
      Neither is Timothy Zahn, see Yuuzhan Vong.
      That said, these people seem to really hate him. Given the reasons they hate Rowling, Lovecraft and to a much quieter extent Tolkien you can read in between the lines.
      If I had to guess George probably had some unflattering things to say about said person next to her in the video and others like him that ostracized him from Hollywood, but I can't say what or youtube will eat my comment again.

      @@girlbuu9403George Lucas had to approve of every book, every comic and every game that was made under his ownership. Whatever the general story was and any new characters that were created, he had to know them ahead of time and if he didn’t like something, it couldn’t be included in whatever was being worked on, unless it was tweaked in one way or another so that George would be happy with it. To say he had little to no input on all that stuff he didn’t personally write, produce and direct Star Wars related is nonsensical.

    The difference is, George Lucas doesn't talk about business during the making of movies like she does, she talks about how to run a business and who to hire and fire etc, George would always talk about his Vision, being star wars, it's not about who you have acting, how much money you pay them and how you ran the business during the making of a film, it's about how you apply yourself with your vision to make it to the big screen, taking sacrifices and risks to create what's needed to make these films, The whole movie industry sat back knowing full well that they didn't have the technology and didnt want to spend the money for the technology like George Lucas did with Industrial Light and Magic, they knew if they sat back that someone else would do all the hard work only for one of those rich thick skulled f cks to get off their ass, make it hard for George to continue his vision only to buy the entire company and franchise out for the price of peanuts, and then fail to even continue to make any good movies out of it at all, and then attack the fans because we spoke the truth, She is the Devil and an ugly one at that

    To add some context, she was talking about the artist who did visual concepts for Star Wars and how he doesn't really get recognition for his part in Star Wars and how she thinks everyone believe Lucas is the sole reason for Star Wars.
    On that point she is right, and no one is going to honestly say it was all Lucas.
    But her claim you don't need Lucas for Star Wars and using The Prequels as an example is ridiculous and condescending. Star Wars would not be Star Wars without Lucas because he is the original creator.

    Lastly, George wrote ALL of Star Wars by himself. Yes, it takes a team to film and produce an entire movie. But, the story came from one man and one man alone. So, the arteur myth stands strong for George. Maybe when you know what you’re talking about and when you’ve had an original idea that changes the world, you can talk about George. But, until then, shut up and sit down.
