    George Lucas Explains Why He Doesn’t Want to Direct ‘Star Wars’ Movies Anymore

    When George Lucas had completed the initial Star Wars trilogy, he maintained that the franchise actually consisted of three trilogies in total: another that tells the story of what happened before Episode IV and a final series that continued the Luke/Leia story after Episode VI. He was able to realize the first continuation a couple of decades after Return of the Jedi, but then maybe not so surprisingly retreated from the world of directing for a bit. Indeed, the response to the prequels was not kind, and so Lucas focused his efforts on producing films like Red Tails and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

    • His worst by far was Howard the DuckBluejam
    • THX 1138 is a masterpiece. Thats what he should do.Ben99
    • Its like he said, everyone has an expectation of what his movies should be... when he made those classics there was no expectation and he created historic filmssofakingback
    • As designers I think we can relate to this, you can't create something amazing and revolutionary when a fucking suit is giving you the direction.sofakingback
    • THX 1138 was underwhelming as well. Wouldn't make my top 20 sci-fi movies.fadein11
    • He only directed A New Hope in the first trilogy...zarkonite
