Does it have how George Lucas destroyed Star Wars with the special editions and prequels, or how he ruined Indiana Jones with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

Lucas did not change the world all he did was change the size of his money bin.

Does it mention how in 2006 he released the original films as non anamorphic bonus discs from a laserdisc master, the biggest joke in cinematic history.

That the only star wars film to ever flop was 2008 Clone Wars?

I cannot even believe they are Giving Him Credit for Pixar.  Look at how crap the clone wars animation is in comparison to Wall-E.

I am glad Lasseter looks to great people like hayao miyazaki for inspiration and not george lucas.

 

You really do need to give this rant a rest for a while...I might not appreciate everything he's had a direct or indirect input into, but he has set off a chain of events that has effected a lot of different things in the movie industry. Good or bad, there are a lot of people who will be saying they were either influenced by him or employed by him at some point in their career and will have benefitted from that association.

Pixar was part of Lucasfilm at one point. They were directly responsible for the Genesis Effect which also happened to be the first fully CG'd movie sequence (if I remember correctly). They were then sold off to Apple (I think) and the rest is history.
