I think that Lucas is sort of stuck in Star Wars now. That might be part of the problem, a sort of rut. As for the T.V. series, I say be careful. The light that burns twice as bright burn half as long, and if you milk the cash cow too much, it'll run dry. Obviously, Star Wars still ahs plenty of life, but I think that Lucas should be wary.
as for him donating money to usc film school that is nothing new it's his place to pick up the next generation of lucas employees, as it always has been, as well as some of the other universities where his friends went.

When you think about it, it really is sad. For people who have seen THX and Graffiti, and even the first Star Wars (outside the context of the dead bloody corps of the beaten horse), there was a lot of potential in this guy. If he had stayed on that track we could have expected to see great things from him. Didn't he say something about going on to do his artsy, experimential films after ROTS was finally finished? I guess that is down the crapper again. Probably for the best.
Lucas has been saying he wants to do something experimental or "artsy" every since ROTJ wrapped back in 1983, and he still hasn't done anything. If Lucasfilm does exit the film business, I say good riddance to their bad rubbish.

That a bit cynical. I'll give him the benifit of the doubt for giving money to the less fortunate. Ironically, there was a time when I'd have love to have worked for Lucasfilm.
