So, why is George Lucas a very poor filmmaker as well as writer and the only decent films he has made and or directed, he had little to no control.
Now, I have 2 theories for why he is such a poor film maker, one: He was originally brilliant when he made the first 3 Star Wars, and the fame then got to his head causing him to make the mess we call the prequels. Or, he was an idiot from the start and people just edited the hell out of his scripts.
To be honest, if the prequels AND Howard the Duck weren't proof enough of his idiocy, have you not seen the Star Wars Christmas Special? There is a reason why everyone involved with it has disowned it.
Nevertheless, I am incredibly happy about the fact that they are no longer letting him direct or write. Though I still think he is one of the luckiest guys on the planet because he truly is stupid.
