Mark Hamill : "He's not my Luke Skywalker"
ChaosEngineI honestly don't know about Lucas.
He COULD be a Tolkien-esque visionary... or he could have taken a bunch of pre-existing elements (Kurosawa, Flash Gordon, the Dam Busters) and meshed them together and lucked out with an insanely talented group of people.
I don't want to write him off (I spent 20 years idolizing him from childhood to when I finally admitted how bad the prequels were).
But I also can't ignore the argument that much of what I love about Star Wars comes not from Lucas, but from Ralph McQuarrie's art, Ben Burtt's sound, John Williams' soundtrack (with a massive nod to Holst as well), Lawrence Kasdan's dialogue and the performances of Ford, Guinness and James Earl Jones.
LOL -- even if I somewhat agree with @ant, too.
Lucas maybe doesn't get enough credit for being a genius, Tolkien-esque "world creator".
Sure seems like he was at his best when he took that creative genius and paired it up with other people (NOT yes-men) to cover screenwriting duties (anything beyond broad-strokes, particularly dialog), directing, and probably casting etc. also. Given that, I breathed a sigh of relief when he sold to Disney. Star Wars wasn't going anywhere but down with him at the helm, but I like what Disney has done with it.
Then again, what do I know? His franchise to do with as he pleased. Just so happened that *I'm* also pleased with the net result...
