    Honestly, anything he would have made would have been better than the dumpster fire that was the sequel trilogy.

    Am I the only one on planet earth that sort of enjoys the prequel movies?

    You turn off your brain and ignore all the plot holes and silliness and cheesiness, just like any other Star Wars content, including the first movies.

    It's not that serious lol. It's not made to be that serious.

    I mean I would have had deep concerns, but there's no way it would have been worse than what we actually got.

    seems like this story changes every few years. back in the 90s it was "yeah I got 6 more" and then it was "no I don't have anything post Jedi" and then he says he does, and then he doesn't, or then the sequels are about Leia and then they're not.

    I would happily trade everything Disney Star Wars in exchange for another Lucas trilogy.

    I think Lucas really excelled when he was pushing against the limits of technology and budget and those limits really held him or n a sweet spot for story telling he would naturally push himself out of.

    Anything he makes now would be like the prequels.

    Is that a bad thing? The prequels are great. Far better than anything Disney have released.

    If you read all the extended universe stuff that existed to explain the clone wars you would understand how bad the sequels are to a starwars project.

    It isn't any better than some of the tv failed projects like wheel of time, sword if truth, shannara, American gods.

    It's absolutely hollow after learning about the star wars lore through those characters.

    There are some great moments and people in the sequels. But as a whole they made star wars worse. Find and read the thrawn trilogy, or the rogue squadron books if you want a glimpse at what could have been.

    Considering Lucas took a lot of interest and veto over what stories were allowed to be published so that the world fit his idea instead of corrupting it, you just can't see the prequels or sequels as anything but terrible.

    He had Indiana Jones LITERALLY ride off into the sunset at the end of the third movie. The most over the top cliche thing for a hero to do. And he dragged him back to make another one about aliens. >:(

    George couldn't write a good "fall from grace " story for Anakin cuz he was living his own.

    That was Spielberg not George.

    Not OP but while Spielberg directed Last Crusade, the film was written by Jeffrey Boam, George Lucas, and Menno Meyjes. Lucas clearly had a strong influence beyond just the writing as well, judging by things like the R2D2 hidden in the hieroglyphics in the first movie and the Club Obi Wan in the second.
