It was a combination of the awful experience Lucas had of working with the English crew on Star Wars and the once-in-a-lifetime luck of getting rich from all the merchandising rights that stopped him from going on to direct other great movies. By the time he got back to directing 22 years later with The Phantom Menace, he'd lost his edge. 13 years on from Phantom Menace, that's even more true. What's left for him to do anyway?

I wonder whether all those who harp on (and on and on) about how awful a film maker Lucas is have ever seen American Graffitti or THX 1138? They are stunning films in their own right that sadly only hint at the man's vision.
He's possibly the most successful independent film maker in the world. As far as I'm concerned if his business decided to make money from a successful franchise that he produced with his own money, utilising his own companies in order to self finance more projects th More

All these armchair critics and Star Wars bashers can do one! Personally I enjoy the changes, it refreshes the trilogy every so often, and not that I really need one, it gives me another reason to watch it and get excited about it. Lucas isn't just about the story telling, he's always pushing boundaries in the field of FX and sound, and these additions to the trilogies that I enjoy just as much as the stories.

| RE: Fanboys can suck my balls.... |
no one wants to fund Red Tails becuase it's an 'issues' movie with Cuba Gooding Jr in the lead role - Cuba Gooding Jr playing a military character - have you seen Men Of Honour and Pearl Harbour? How about Rat Race, Boat Trip, Norbit or Daddy Day Care? Cuba. Gooding. Jr. Show. Me. The. Talent.
And as to your defence of Lucas as a technical pioneer - I'm sure a lot of people would agree that the more he's focussed on digital technology, the worse his use of technology has got. The miniatu More

Not too dissapointed in this although I have some mixed feelings. The last Indiana Jones was awful because of his story. Although as we all know the most recent additions to the Star Wars series were complete gash. I have to admit though I still get a tingley feeling in my balls when I see them, probably more a of a visual/cinematic thing more than anything.But, I suppose thats the first thing what draws you to films as a kid and thats why they are held in such high regard in later years (well i More

"You don't like it don't watch it!"
That's the problem, we did like it.
But it's nice you're easily impressed by pretty effects and mindless action.

You don't like it don't watch it!
All these armchair critics and Star Wars bashers can do one! Personally I enjoy the changes, it refreshes the trilogy every so often, and not that I really need one, it gives me another reason to watch it and get excited about it. Lucas isn't just about the story telling, he's always pushing boundaries in the field of FX and sound, and these additions to the trilogies that I enjoy just as much as the stories. The visual aspect of it is huge.
And as far a More

| RE: A NEW HOPE |
He complains that it's his movies to do with as he pleases and make into how he needs them to be?
If he was allowed to make the original Star Wars into the movie he wanted it, it would have been a massive flop and he'd never have a career.
He wanted C3PO to sound like a sleazy, used car salesman. He wanted Luke to have a robot head. He wanted Han Solo to be a weird frog alien.
Luckily there were producers and colleagues who could say "No George, that's fucking stupid."

| PETULANT CHILD! |
George Lucas's 'rant' that the STAR WARS saga are his movies and he is allowed to have them any way he wants them makes him sound like a petulant child. Lucas needs to remember that when u offer something creative up for public consumption, the audience also has rights to the content as well. After all, the movies wouldnt be the success they are without the massive audience it found. Its wrong to say STAR WARS is his coz it means alot to everybody. It belongs to all of us. So, when he constantly More

A new hope for him if he plans to retire, as hell probably take another 25 years to do that aswell.
i to feel abit annoyed at the fact he keeps tinkering with the starwars movies when frankly he didnt need to. in any case i think he cant let go of the saga cos thats all his got in some cases. as theres nothing else you can really do with Indie. Speaking of Indie
WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO BRING US THE TRILOGY ON BLU-RAY More

does that mean they are finally going to slaughter the cash cow that is $tar war$? thank *%@# for that. This businessman has pissed all over a trilogy to squeeze as much money as possible out of the obsessive types and to mask the fact that he's obviously a hack. that is all More

| Fanboys are right (sort of) |
As a huge Star Wars fan I have to say that George Lucas' 'tinkering' of the films has made me dilike him rather a lot. At the end of the day though, what he has done is tried (and sadly failed), to link up episodes one, two, and three with four, five, and six. If this had been filmed with all the same actors within a harry potter esque continuation, then it probably would have worked.
We all spent a good 25 years with the original films to get to know and love them, so changing a film after More

Fair enough Lucas, tinker with your own films as much as you like, but you didn't direct Empire or Return of the Jedi so don't really have a right to mess about with those movies. More

| There's something that George isn't considering. |
Maybe the 'fanboys' are right! Anyway, he's been saying he wants to make small, experimental, esoteric films for decades now, and still nothing. Now that Star Wars has turned into Star Trek, what with all these movies and TV shows, I doubt he'll ever walk away. More

| Fanboys |
Firstly I think it's a shame that constant moaning about Lucas' tinkering has made him think like this...I've always shied away from commenting about his changes because, at the end of the day, it's Star Wars. He gave it to us and, while I know the six films are not perfect, I'm glad I had Star Wars to grow up to.
Indiana Jones though; is there really anything left to do with that character? Just give me Raiders on BluRay!!
But if he does retire, thanks for all of it George Lucas. More
