I find it nice to see Lucas the genious filmaker once again. The man responsible for star wars. This is the lucas i admire and respect before he was consumed by cgi. Ironic that he talks about money men should not make decisions over art. lol.

The Lucas who was determined to make films outside of hollywood. Who fought the big money men and corporations became the corporation.

Lucas succeeded in spades. He never has to answer to any moneyman. He makes the films he wants exactly how he wants them outside of Hollywood. He fought the moneymen and won. He even owns the rights to "Star Wars" now, which Fox had for years. He wanted to push the boundaries of what can be achieved on film, and he has succeeded in blowing those boundaries completely away.

If he said "I hope I make compelling character based drama and never ever err on the side of too much comic relief of action" then we could all point and laugh, but I don't think that's ever been his goal.
