    Lucas is my favorite Filmmaker. His thinking is very different than the norm Hollywood makes nowadays. For proof of it, see THX 1138. That film was ahead of its time, and I have a feeling maybe Lucas originally wanted to make Star Wars in a similar style as that film, but realized few people would get it in the first viewing and many people wouldn't see it over and over to try and understand it. That's just a feeling I have, probably not be true, but who knows. Lucas is a genius, and should have received both Oscars for Star Wars and it should have won Best Picture and Supporting Actor as well. Christopher Nolan reminds me of him in the sense he does things on his own and doesn't get the recognition and awards he deserves.

      @@BarcaReviewChannel also the last scene where Duvall is coming to the outside world with Bach's Matthew's Passion as background music is the only good bit of the movie, and also the fact that his best friend Coppola had to do the Godfather in order to recover some lost money. Yes, masterpiece.

    It's a real crime in Hollywood and the film industry for the fact they still haven't given this guy a Honorary Academy Award yet. Say what you will about the prequels or special editions but without this guy, you wouldn't have gotten films like Terminator, Independence Day and the Lord of the Rings trilogy because he inspired these future filmmakers who would go on to make these films. Not to mention that without Lucas, many modern films like the MCU or Nolan's films like Interstellar wouldn't have existed without this guy experimenting with visual effects that eventually evolved into the outstanding visual effects we get in our films that we really take for granted.
    We truly don't deserve you, George Lucas. God bless you good sir.

    George Lucas is a creative genius. He had to really fight to make Star Wars. He got rejection after rejection before Fox gave it a chance. And who could blame the studios that rejected the movie? It was a movie that had elements of sci-fi, fantasy, western, and adventure. Just hearing the concept sounds like a bit of a jumbled mess, and George Lucas turned it into one of the most influential films ever. Hats off to you, Mr. Lucas, and well done.

    Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and Library of Congress have a long history of establishment to document, to record, work. The Academy recognizes work as entertainment, and education to the public an art form of that recorded work. The Motion Picture Association of America working in close association establishing ethical guidelines for such work has done so with expectations of society, American culture, and the industry as business. Does free enterprise of such support education?
