rcb said:as much as lucas has screwed up, he is still the father of star wars. and he did inspire and imagination of one generation. this site would not exist if it weren't for him. adywan wouldn't be doing his video edits for the OT. nobody would be making fan maid videos. imagine how dull ur life might be right now without star wars.
Whatever credit Lucas might deserve is erased by what he's since done against Star Wars. And he was by no means the only person responsible for the original trilogy.
