George Lucas is awesome and he still comes to Modesto and goes into the parade he’s a humble man and he’s amazing cheers to you George Lucas

[@kennywang7082]

George Lucas is a certified creative GENIUS! A living legend! An American Treasure.

[@SN2903]

I love American Graffiti. I can't stop watching it.

[@King_Colombia_Inc]

Me neither!!

[@cooperwolfe5478]

I agree with both of you. I honestly believe that it’s George Lucas’s best film as a director.

[@King_Colombia_Inc]

@@cooperwolfe5478It sure is! It's a damn shame it doesn't get the love it deserves because of Star Wars shunning American Graffiti out of the spotlight.

[@cooperwolfe5478]

@@King_Colombia_Inc I agree. It’s also a shame that Lucas didn’t direct more movies.

[@bravata5579]

Lucas’s best picture

FACTS

[@stevensong8784]

2:04 - 2:24You will be remembered as the renegade of cinema George Lucas.

[@richardthelionheart5594]

This and "The Last Picture Show" the two greatest melancholy, accurate depictions of our "youth".

[@King_Colombia_Inc]

The only way i can show people why i adore this movie so much is to write a story paying homage to it. ❤️

[@christopherdunn317]

Remember this guy pretty much created happy days the tv show !

[@sergiodjf]

Wow! All the roadblocks that talented people like George Lucas had to overcome. 🙄 Good think he didn’t give up on the first attempt, otherwise it would be a very different story.

[@joesezzz4324]

Thanks for that one Mr L

[@mragunathan1627]

George Lucas reminds me of Walter White tbh lol

[@56cadd]

Landis could use some training from Lucas.

Dear Sir,
For Mrs Mellody Hobson,
Subject: Request for assistance from Mr. George Lucas (urgent)
First of all, thank you for responding to my email.
Following
my earlier correspondence, I would like Elstree Studios to urgently
send the 3 attached PDF files to the George Lucas Stage, for the
attention of Mr. George Lucas; this aspect is really quite important,
I am aware that Mr. Lucas has officially announced his retirement.
But
it is precisely a retiree like Mr. Lucas, who I will need help realize
my project and who, because of this new way of financing, producing, and
distributing, future films for both the cinema and for the internet, is
most dear to my heart.
My wish is to look for a man like Mr. Lucas who even as a retiree would be able to support the Andromeda Trilogy project.
Mr.
Lucas’s support will allow us to launch an international call for
donations to Internet users around the world. This would be based on a
teaser-trailer that will be produced to present the (the Andromeda
Trilogy) project to all Internet users around globe and which will be
translated into several languages.
This would enable us to raise approximately $ 75 million,
This would galvanize Internet users to making donations and support the production of the Andromeda film trilogy.
This
would also guarantee a simultaneous projection of the Andromeda film
trilogy both on traditional cinema screens, and at the same time as a
free internet broadcast by several channels on RUclips. This will enable
less well off communities around the world to be able to benefit, and
to watch the whole film Trilogy for free.
And I think, I am
convinced that George Lucas, will be pleased with this and will want to
take part in this new way of financing, producing, and distributing
films in the future, globally, both in terms of traditional cinemas, for
television, and for the internet, and which will undoubtedly also allow
the reopening of traditional neighborhood cinemas around the world, and
also the creation of small traditional cinemas in villages
