Lucas is an idea machine. He has some good ideas, but he faulters as a writer and director to the point that I'd consider him downright incompetent in those areas. Realize how important they are in making a film a classic.

Come on man, Lucas did direct Star Wars, American Graffiti and THX-1138, so he is not an incompetent director.

I won't rate Lucas in the Spielberg/Scorcese league, but he still has a good body of work in the 70's.  I just think Lucas was well past his prime by the time the PT came out in 1999.  He was essentially an Executive Producer from 1980 on.
