LOL, exactly. I think Lucas' "career" is one of the biggest shame's in recent history, simply because it could have been really great.
Maybe. There was a time when I thought that GL was incredibly talented, and it bothered me that he didn't direct more. Now, I seriously doubt his talent as a director. Sure, Spielberg has had some klunkers, but the majority of the films he's directed have been fantastic. I can no longer say the same for GL. Originally posted by: C3PX
Imagine if Spielberg had made E.T. and then a sequel to E.T., then another sequel, then a trilogy of E.T. prequels that deal with E.T.'s dad and the birth of E.T. and how E.T. ended up coimg to visit earth and so on, then imagine Spielberg complaining about all these other movies he had wanted to make, yet was forced to do nothing but E.T. all his life. Nope, I can't imagine it either.

Where I used to think that George was a great director who just didn't like directing very much, now I think that American Graffitti and Star Wars were flukes-- happy accidents that came out great due in large part to all of the other talented people involved with them.
