Bad enough they don't mention THX, but since when was AG "weirdly under appreciated" ? There is a fanbase, and IIRC, events are held yearly to celebrate the film. Including drag races in vintage cars...
Think he means in a critical sense. Critics loath Lucas (For mostly good reasons) so that means his good work gets ignored along with the bad.
It's not "Cool" (For lack of a better term) for a cineast to say they like a Lucas film. But other Director's are critically lauded like Terence Malick for example, whose films are self-indlgent (Yet beautiful) drivel.
I loved Lucas' last project 'Red Tails' (Despite a few flaws) but it barely got a cinema release in the UK.
