George Lucas

George Lucas may be the most talked and written about filmmaker in the history of movies. We take a fresh look at the full scope of Lucas's works, from THX 1138 to Revenge of the Sith. Will we find genius and ambition in the prequels or half-baked fan service? Will American Graffiti compare well to modern "gems" like Can't Hardly Wait and Superbad? Will Lucas ever direct again?
