George Lucas Struggles to Reinvent Himself

I imagine it will be hard to get away from Star Wars, given that he's producing television shows set in the fictional universe.

Hey, I loved it too but I'm also biased in favor of it (I grew up in southeast Idaho). That said, I can name funnier movies, better characterization, etc. It's full of moments where more money could have improved it. But, like I said in another post on this thread, doing so costs a *lot*! Napoleon D is the *archtype* of my point: you can do so much cheaply nowadays.
