Romero put some intelligence into those movies. They actually "say" something. Most horror movies are mindless and just wants to scare you. That's fine and all. Got no problem with that at all, but I like that he put something deep in there.
Lucas is a great storyteller, but not a great filmmaker. He gets by, I think. ESB was so good cuz other people who were better filmmakers were making it. He just directed the whole thing from a story point of view....that's his strength....managing everything behind the scenes.
Romero writes and directs his stuff. He also takes suggestions from his cast and crew. He's very open minded. That line in Day Of The Dead spoken by Rhodes as he's getting eaten by the zombies...the actor came up with that, not Romero.
Lucas doesn't work like that....he's said so himself, "It's all in the script." That points to a bit of a control freak with an ego.
