If Lucas made movies for Fox he would be able to stipulate Final Cut in his contract. Spielberg gets it, Scorsese gets it, pretty much all the BIG players can dictate terms to the studio because they are the ones making the studios rich, not the other way around. Lucas is full of shit. He just doesn't want to admit that he's only made one "avant garde" un-mainstream film and the rest are all mainstream mass-entertainment pieces so he continues to say "I'm only doing it so I can make these uncommerical films"--without following through in the thirty-five years (!) he's been making these claims, despite being a billionaire before the prequels (when you account net worth).
