Nope, I can't imagine it either.

LOL, exactly. I think Lucas' "career" is one of the biggest shame's in recent history, simply because it could have been really great. Imagine if after Star Wars he continued to direct other films, maybe Radioland Murders first (and it wouldn't suck the way Willard Huck's did--I can imagine this being like a sort of sequel to Graffiti), and then going on to do all of those weird art films he wanted to do. People would look back and think, "wow, that George Lucas guy made some really original, weird movies, and he also proved he could do a character piece and an action blockbuster"--instead thats a description more appropriate for someone like David Lynch.
