opinion and review

On a Reddit George Lucas review by noelioli

He had a good idea, but he didn't know what to do with it. He let other people that knew what they were doing help him. The first cut of the original star wars that he made was said to be totally unwatchable. The editor that did the final cut noted how bad it was, and he pushed to have it flow in a more natural way, and finally Lucas let him do it his way. Empire strikes back, which is usually considered the best star wars (to some even one of the greatest films ever) he barely had anything to do with. He is credited for the story, but other people rewrote the script. Pretty much the same deal with return of the Jedi. He also hardly had anything to do with Indiana Jones. You can find videos of Stephen Spielberg talking about the awful concepts from Lucas that he shot down. And of course when he did have total control over movies they were really bad (the star wars prequels). Red tails was also pretty bad. He also obviously can't write realistic dialogue or direct actors well. All he did was make one good movie that by all accounts would have been terrible if he had it his way. He's the luckiest man in the entertainment industry.
