Lucas was at some point a great director, his first 3 films are brilliant (THX 1138, American Graffiti and Episode 4) and showed how in sync with his generation he was.And if you read the transcript of the Indiana Jones story meeting between him, Spielberg and Larry Kasden, the whole thing is pretty much Lucas.
As a director/writer he just never recovered from the Star Wars success, and a 22 year hiatus between directing E4 and E5 certainly didn't help.
- Always wanted to make art films, made a blockbuster in the hope he would gain independence to do that but built a cage for himself, a v.lucrative one though.fadein11
- He was never going to be a Coppola, Scorsese or Kurosawa though... think he realised that. THX and American Graffiti are not great films in retrospect.fadein11
- THX doesn't have a single original idea in it.fadein11
