Now he says he will be doing these little art films--but then he goes on to make Indy IV, and two Star Wars TV series, which it now appears he is co-writing. By the time those are both released it will be after 2010, and maybe if we are lucky Lucas can get Red Tails made--which is not a small, personal art film but a big-budget historical action-drama about WWII dogfights. By that time he will be in his mid-70's, and I'm sure will retire, live his twilight peacefully in Lucas Land and then pass away sometime not long after due to his diabetes. Really, I think this whole "I'm an experimenter, I will make small personal films that everyone will hate because I'm avante-garde" is just his way of coping with mainstream fame.
