Lucas Happy to Retire from Star Wars
What a run. 25+ years of fine fantasy, even at its worst. One can only be grateful to him:
"Lucas' accomplishments marked a one-of-a-kind revolution. He sneaked into a Hollywood that no longer had the verve or nerve to make the weird, giddy, goofy Saturday matinees of his youth. He found a lone patron among fainthearted studio executives willing to pony up cash for what was essentially an Arthurian sword-in-the-stone fantasy in space." Read entire.
