Eastwood is also in far better physical condition than William Shatner, but William Shatner now at the age of 77 still acts. Also take a look at the behind the scenes footage of the Prequel trilogy, all George Lucas did was stand and pointed at things he wanted or sat behind big monitors or talked to the actors or played with Heyden's hair. People act like directing is some physical work, but it is not. Some directors maybe physical in their directing, but George Lucas is not one of them.

In fact, I'd be surprised if he ever directs anything again. Red Tails has been a project he has talked about writing and directing himself for the longest time, and now it comes out that he has hired both a writer and a director for the film. I think that may well be a sign he is done with directing.
These action are Classic George Lucas. People thought he done with directing back in the 80's & 90's and could never direct a film again. Well, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace shown people that their were wrong.

The fact that there were many events that were mentioned to have taken place pre-TPM, doesn't mean that it was intended that there would be movies to explain those events. It is typical in story telling to make references to past events to add some backstory and history to the characters and events.
Yes, It is typical in story telling to make references to past events to add some backstory and history to the characters and events.... but, the unanswered questions of The Prequel trilogy about the past are like the unanswered questions of The Original trilogy which lead to George Lucas making The Prequel trilogy. EP III was the so-called last star wars film, but it did not close the doors of the unanswered questions, instead it the opened even more doors. Then You have George Lucas back in 2005 (shorty after EP III came out) saying he have ideas for a Prequel to the Prequels and You think George Lucas did not intended the unanswered questions about things before The Phantom Menace to be explain in movies!
The Prequel Star Wars trilogy made $2,422,714,701 Worldwide and you think George Lucas is NOT thinking about making a Sequel or Prequel to it!
I hate the idea of more bad star wars Prequels, but the written on the wall, George Lucas is going to make more Star Wars Prequels!
