    It's hard to give a single rating to George Lucas. Really, I'd want to rate his early work as excellent and, ideally, just ignore his work of the past decade.

    I can't deny his genius in birthing Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and American Graffiti. But, at the same time, it's hard to ignore the hideous Star Wars prequel movies he's made recently.

    I prefer to focus on the extraordinary films Lucas made in the 70s and 80s, which will be part of cinematic history forever.

    I love this guy! hide show

    As my summary says, I love this guy. He is so talented! He did my favorite movie series of all time: STAR WARS!! He also did great doing the "Indiana Jones" series. My favorite Star Wars episodes are Revenge of the Sith and Return of the Jedi. Last week, I saw Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It was great! It was like Star Wars, but not in space. I enjoyed it anyway. I hear that he's going to make a CGI series called "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" this year. I can't wait for it! I'm so excited to see it!
