George was not lucky (there's no such thing as luck according to Obiwan) but IMO, I think his skills have diminished as he's gotten older. Hitchcock was a genious and his later films stunk. Has anyone seen Frenzy? Oh man, I thought that one stunk. Plenty of athletes stay around way past their prime and I think some of that is true of Lucas.

George was a lot younger and more eager back during the OT and I think he burned out. That's why I think he's made some questionable decisions. IMO, it seems like he kind of went through the motions with the first two prequels, like he was saving all his creative energies for Sith. I really don't understand why he wrote all three films when he basically hates writing. He could have found a million writers who would have killed to write the prequels. I think he would have actually been better off having other people write and direct eps 1 and 2 and then he should have directed and co-written ep 3.
