In the Leonard Maltin interviews on the Faces release, he asks George what would get him back in the director's chair, and George said that if he directed any of them, it would be the first one, so he could set the stage for the other directors to follow him. Now, this isn't a pro-Lucas directing thread or an anti-Lucas directing thread. I'm just curious to know if there is any documented evidence as to why he changed his mind.
maybe he realized that other directors can make better movies...
