    Please Rich Evans if you’re listening please go to Comic Con in full Lucas regalia. We need this.

    I think we are all better for having George Lucas. We wouldn’t have Pixar, ILM, or LucasArts without him. OG Star Wars and American Graffiti were legitimately good. Every other film he did was garbage, however.

      His ex wife was why the OG films were so good, and why every Star Wars film after the divorce was such trash.

          She was a talented editor, and SW and RoTJ are the better for her work. But I think her real contributions during this time was reining Lucas in. He seems to do better with a moderating influence, at least in filmmaking.

          Because Lucas was one of the last auteurs, and believed her moderating influence was absolutely ruining his vision.

      Lucasarts was his greatest achievement. It gave us so, so many good games. My personal favorite, Gladius, isn’t even a Star Wars game.

          I’m not sure I’m the right person to ask as I just professed my undying love for this game. Before it became backwards compatible a few years ago I would drag out my original Xbox and hook everything up once a year just to play through it again. So yes, I think it holds up. However, now that it’s available digitally and much easier to access I haven’t had the urge to play it in awhile.

    By now, people hopefully understand the difference between trying and failing (PT) and not caring at all (ST). George wasn’t perfect, but he cared about his world and even at their worst the prequels only fail in execution.

      All the people telling him he should just write and direct the prequels himself instead of getting someone to do it for him ruined it more.
