A person doesn't give up directing for 22 years only to come back to it. Lucas's decisions since the mid-90's have been foolish. He'd been coasting on the success of Star Wars, but realized he had to revamp it to keep it all profitable. It's not like he needed to do the SE, the man was in the billion dollar range by then. At least he's given vast amounts of his money to some noble causes, but the irony is killing me.
