Comments on: GEORGE LUCAS interview… before STAR WARS http://geektyrant.com/2009/06/george-lucas-interview-before-star-wars/ Geek Movie and Entertainment News Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:11:25 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Phantom6612 http://geektyrant.com/2009/06/george-lucas-interview-before-star-wars/comment-page-1/#comment-15462 Phantom6612 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 04:29:34 +0000 http://geektyrant.com/?p=9226#comment-15462 While I've yet to see THX and I've only seen bits of American Graffiti, I am under the impression that Lucas is an excellent filmmaker and would have done even more great things if he didn't focus so much on Star Wars. That wasn't meant to be his focus, it was just another film, except it blew up. He should have called it quits after Jedi. Perhaps stuck with a bit of a break to work on advancing technology and then went back to making inventive films. If he wanted Star Wars to continue, let someone else handle it. But I can see how hard that can be to do, let go of a creation and have someone else run the show.

If only he knew how prescient that comment was. Love how the pre-Star Wars Lucas says "I like being thought of as a toymaker that makes films." If only he knew how prescient that comment was.
