Re: OT: An Open Letter To George Lucas
The thing that George Lucas accomplished, which is rarely (and unfairly) not mentioned is that he was really the first person to write and direct a SciFi movie that tried to treat its story seriously, instead of the 3 decades of "look what I can do!" and "ohhh, a shiney spaceship!".
His dialog is lacking, but the story is really good and imaginative. What else has spawned so many spin off books, cartoons and video games? Maybe its not Great, but its the Greatest there is.
