I think Lucas does deserve a lifetime achievement award. I think he's a hack director and not very talented at writing dialogue, but he has introduced many innovations into the world of cinema... especially in films he had no direct connection with. Industrial Light and Magic has some influence in almost every movie nowadays. While Lucas may be like a kid in a candy shop with CGI, other directors do know how to use it effectively, and they have Lucas to thank for pioneering it. While he may not have developed things personally, he did set the wheels in motion for innovation that other people have been able to run with.

Now, is that better? I think that's something of a constructive argument, complaining what I don't like about him while not letting that detract from what he is worthy for. And no LucASS anywhere either. ^_^
