Calling George Lucas legendary and saying any of his movies are masterpieces is hilarious, really. Especially if you've seen pretty much any actual masterpieces from actual legendary directors.
Legendary director Stanley Kubrick was a fan. ;)
“If I made as much money as George Lucas, I would not decide to become a studio mogul. I cannot understand why he doesn’t want to direct films anymore, because American Graffiti and even Star Wars were very good.”

That quote actually says a lot about Stanley Kubrick tbh. George Lucas became a studio mogul because it would eventually make him a billionaire. No amount of money would ever not make Stanley Kubrick a filmmaker, it was his entire life up until the day he died.
If Kubrick had earn the same amount of money than Lucas he would have spent it in making movies, I'm sure he would have use a few hundred millions in filming the Napoleon film he always wanted... he was truly passionate of movie making.
