    Let this be a lesson that your dumb kids will only destroy your dreams and ruin your legacy.

      George Lucas lost his magic after the OT, and the Prequels were horrible movies that were only “saved” by the Clone Wars animated series.

      George’s problem is he is unable or unwilling to “kill his darlings,” as writers say.

        I’d argue that the prequels were excellent, Shakespearian-level stories that pioneered the VFX of their time, but suffered from sometimes ridiculous dialogue and a director that wasn’t good at working with actors (especially inexperienced actors).

        If George had a writing/directing partner to help smooth stuff out and still had his ex-wife in the editing room, the prequels would probably have been damn near masterpieces.

      oh idk, if his kids grew up and continued his legacy we’d probably be better off. this was the work of corporations that existed before him and their greed.
