As far as Lucas not even liking directing, when was it that he said that? (I am not suggesting he never said it, I am just wondering what year it was that he said that). He sure has directed a lot of movies for a guy who doesn't like directing. And whether he enjoyed directing back then or not, it didn't seem to stop him from doing it, and I still honestly believe he would have gone on directing had he not taken the path that he had.

Lucas has always said he does not like writing, or dreads the writing process, as he has all these thoughts, but has a tough time putting them down on paper. For instance, the Luke/Leia talk in ROTJ, Lucas talks about the process of writing that scene. "It is a scene I knew I had to put in, but I never know how much exposition is too much exposition, and you have alot of fans who want to see the movie and go from point a to point b, and I will always worry about a scene like this, am I losing the viewer?"
Lucas has never said he hated directing, from what i recall, and I do recall that he loved directing TPM so much, he decided to do the next 2 after he original to have someone else direct Episode II & III. If Lucas never became a businessman and just stuck with directing/producing, who knows what type of movies he would have done?
