You really like the guy, don't you? ;)
Lucas is to Movies what Gene Simmons is to Rock, in the sense that both will sue the a-s off anyone who even attempts to make a dime off their original creation. As harsh as it sounds, I agree with both men regarding intellectual property.
Lucas? I don't like him but I admire him as a filmmaker. His last movies are total garbage to me, but he seems pleased with himself. And seeing how his first movies as a director were THX-1138, American Graffitti and Star Wars, there are few filmmakers who can compare in terms of quality and influence. His Star Wars movies are the best-mounted pieces of junk ever--compare this series with any other and you'll be hard-pressed to find one so consistent in style and technical quality. I just think the content of his films is useless.
