LUCAS good. CRITICS bad.

Excuse ME, George Lucas is a mediocre filmmaker? (I've now read that in two reviews - I won't reveal the sources - both print - so I won't embarass the hacks who wrote this.) By what measure could you make that statement? His films have made more money than mere mortals can conceive!!! And yes, there were one or two which didn't work, but c'mon! Since when is successful, multi-BILLION dollar work mediocre? KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE (or make your own) should be film school rule #1. He's done it.

And along the way, George invented/developed countless technological advances; leaps, really.

A local sign says "SITH HAPPENS." I like that.
