Yes, for his work as a Director, but more so for the way he opted for the rights to the SW sequels and merchandising rights in lieu of a higher salary for SW:A New Hope. Sheer brilliance!

Nice profile name, kid.

yes, he knows how to make a buck... too bad he had to go and direct Episode I and II. He f'ed them up bad.
Episode II especially had some of the worste acting EVER. I don't think it was the actors/actresses. It was the lack of direction from Lucas.

i agree totally, clear. i think that episodes I and II were both total arse. the special effects in episode II were awesome (and the sound was even better -- remember the seismic charge bomb? that was one of the bestest sounds ever in a movie)...but never have i hated a kid actor more than that little shit who played anakin in episode I. who the hell thought he could act?

sure, but he became what he hated at first. he sold out.

its thnkas to him we have all to programs we work with...in a way...

It's common knowledge Lucas blows at directing actors. Even the actors admit it on the Trilogy DVD film. Lucas admits to becoming the corporation he loathed as well. His gift is for storytelling, characters and first and foremost, visuals.

Worst director ever!
- Geith0
Worst? No way. One of the best ever I'd say. Ever see American Grafitti, THX? Brilliant films not to mention Star Wars, which is on par with the greatest films ever made. Yeah, the acting is subpar -- but the storytelling and filmmaking is top notch.

i only liked the directors cut of THX1138.
that is all.

he has made some huge blunders, but has done some great things as well.

It's good to see that despite his busy Star Wars schedule, Lucas still finds time to appear in the latest She-Hulk comic...

I saw the trailer last night for the SW III. Didnt seem that bad.
Hey, he's a better director than me, or most here I'd guess. Money hungry whore, but 3D animation and computer effects would be nothing without him.

Looks more like Kenny Rogers than Lucas.

Stating for the record:
I will not see EP 3 in the theater, or on home rental, or on television, ever, ever in my life.
Never, I mean that. To watch Ep3, and then watch part 4, I bet you it is going to be the most disgusting, hideous, nastiest, incoherent, brutally ugly transition in cinematic history.

Ep I & II were badly directed in an acting sense becuase they had no environment to relate & react to. Blue, blue, blue is all they saw most of the time.
I found all 5 enjoyable, but thought III,IV & V were, and still are, amazing.
See ya

Dont be such a tart. Fuck, people get all emotional about Star wars. How many here were born when the first one came out in '77 not many I bet.
I always though SW was overr ated anyhow. Cult certainly but good film? Na.
Concider that the Godfather Trilogy came out at the same time, I know where I'd spend my $50.
Not on a hairy puppet with a big Yorkshireman in it.
