Well, since Lucas gave us Star Wars, I can't be too critical of him, other to say that he reached his pinnacle at SW IV, and maybe there was a reason he didn't direct the other two films in the original trilogy. Whatever he had, he sure lost when he tried directing the other 3 SW films. He should have stayed executive producer and worry about the big things and let someone else direct. Someone who had talent and the SW vision.

I don't know if Lucas actually killed BSG in the 70's, but I do remember him threatening a lawsuit. Too bad the original BSG lasted only 1 season. I would have loved to see what they could have done if they had more episodes to play with. I don't count Galactica 80 as an actual BSG experience, and have tried for 26 years to forget it even existed.
