George is a fantastic ideas man and generally seems like a really nice guy. I always wanted him to branch out into standalone projects like THX and American Graffiti once again after selling Star Wars, but alas. I still live in hope that he’ll direct a Mandalorian episode one of these days or something. But if he’s really done with directing for good, despite the quarrels I and many others have with his behaviour over the OOT, I don’t think he’d be leaving behind a bad legacy - not bad at all.

George did what he wanted with Star Wars and brought inspiration and hope to generations.
