George Lucas's Top 10 Rules For Success

In this video, George Lucas shares his top ten rules for success, reflecting on his journey as a filmmaker and entrepreneur. He emphasizes the importance of following your passion, whether it's in filmmaking or another field, and how that passion will lead you to success. Lucas talks about his love for photography and anthropology, which eventually led him to filmmaking. He points out that success is not about doing what others think you should do, but rather about following what you believe in, even when the odds seem stacked against you.
Lucas also shares the valuable lessons he's learned about creativity and persistence. He stresses that everyone has talent, but the key is discovering what you're passionate about and working hard to master it. In film school, he didn't wait for the perfect opportunity but instead took every chance to create, which led to his early success. He highlights the importance of making films the way he envisions them, rather than trying to meet external expectations, and how staying true to his style has been a core part of his success with franchises like Star Wars and Indiana Jones.
The video also dives into deeper life lessons, with Lucas explaining the difference between pleasure and joy. He believes that real happiness comes from compassion and helping others, a principle he followed in his collaborations with fellow filmmakers like Steven Spielberg. He advocates for building a supportive community where everyone's success contributes to the group, rather than competing against each other. According to Lucas, the true secret to success-and happiness-is found in lifting others up and pursuing joy through compassion.
He's an American filmmaker and entrepreneur.
He's best known as the creator of the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises, as well as the founder of Lucasfilm.
As of March 2015, Lucas' net worth was estimated by Forbes at US$5.1 billion.
He's George Lucas and here are his Top 10 Rules for Success.

[@Jared_Wignall]

Lucas is a genius. I don't care what the haters say. My respect and admiration for what he's done with film is beyond words.

[@EvanCarmichael]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for watching Jared. :) #BelieveNation #BTA589 Shine

[@julesgaerlan4062]

he has throat problem

[@howardpope3932]

I agree mostly, but what do you think about Jar Jar Binks (and all the other things that went wrong in the prequels)? And have you ever read the first draft of the Star Wars script? Sorry, but that wasn´t the creation of a genius at all.

[@howardpope3932]

@The Galactic Senate of the Republic I´m not sure, if I like the Prequels better than the Sequels, in addition I haven´t seen "The Rise of Skywalker" but what I´ve seen and heart of it on KZbin seemed to me like a total disaster. Sorry, but I find Jar Jar much worse than Baby Yoda.

[@howardpope3932]

@The Galactic Senate of the Republic Now that you say it... I agree: to make Yoda cute is also in my opinion wrong...but just as wrong as to present Darth Vader and Boba Fett, these two menacing villains, as innocent children. As for Jar Jar I have to disagree: To me it is not much an accomplishment to act over the top goofy and clumsy and to play the beating boy for the so called heroes (to me it is little heroic how Qui-Gon treats Jar Jar) .

[@KennyChilders97]

George Lucas has been a hero of mine since I was very young, I appreciate his vision and passion.

[@EvanCarmichael]

+Childers Pictures Yayy.. #BTA59 Nina

+FragBoy Stewie woot. #BTA60 Nina

[@palimpalim5291]

Yeah that one is perfect. Also, he is a film making icon, he became insanely rich and that BECAUSE not IN SPITE of his principles. I believe you need that to create a film series that includes forgiveness, redemption and ultimately love and respect for a parent to save the galaxy. That is why so many people passionately love Star Wars. On the other hand, Kathleen Kennedy thinks that political correctness and pushing feminist and sjw agenda will lead to success. She can't be more wrong.

[@CaminoAir]

I know Lucas gets bashed a lot and there are apparent reasons for that in terms of decisions about how the prequels were made and the story focus, but if you listen to Lucas speak he is remarkably intelligent and has clear and deep understanding (by the standards of this Western civilisation's media/public debate). I watched a KZbin video that included Lucas talking to several employees about how the Force works (both light and dark sides) and it was wonderful to listen to him lay out spontaneously his understanding of spirituality and human frailty. It's frustrating the he couldn't reproduce kind of clear insightful presentation in the prequels, but I recommend anyone watching this video seek out more of Lucas' interviews.

[@EvanCarmichael]

Thank you for sharing and for the recommendation. :) Thank you for watching! #BTA166 Shine

It's just that one should not have to watch side interviews and sympathize with the author in order for the movie to work I guess.

[@rickvalentino6920]

Numinous20111, I don't think Lucas ever deserved the bashing he got for the prequels. Bunch of fan boy cry babies. It was his vision. Damn, Lucas made an effort to give us fans more Star Wars, and all people did was bitch about it. How many people are brilliant enough to accomplish what this guy has? And he still had a desire to try some things weather they worked or not.

[@djnary2896]

Outstanding video!! While not everything George Lucas has done has been brilliant, you have to admire him for being true to himself. I always have, I've always looked up to him both as a storyteller AND as a businessman, and will forever be grateful to him for the joy he has brought to me, my family and my friends' lives. I especially liked "Don't make excuses." While all of Lucas' classmates were moping around saying, "I wish I could make a movie," what was Lucas doing? Taking what little he had (a minute of film) and MAKING A MOVIE!!! That initiative shows right there that he had what it took to be successful. I also loved his speech about pursuing happiness as pleasure versus joy. Relating it to a drug high is the perfect analogy! That which gives immediate pleasure and THEN makes you pay the price isn't worth pursuing. But that which you struggle and pay the price for out of a real love for it will eventually bring long-term happiness. I wish Mr. Lucas all the happiness in the world in his retirement. When he eventually passes, I WILL mourn.

[@Justmyhandle]

Say what you will about him as a Director or businessman (on most of which, I agree). But, as a creator, Lucas is awesome. He was one of my inspirations to become an artist along with Walt Disney. I hope I can someday leave a worthwhile legacy as they did. I've accepted all my works won't be good but that won't derail me from my passion. That's all I really want, not to be rich (though I would be grateful for what I make) but share what I love with others for better & worse. Lucas is like the Shyamalan of sci-fi and I mean that as a compliment because I find Shyamalan similarly great as a creator compared to his lackluster track record as a Director. Neither deserves ALL the hate they get. The problem isn't whether he has talent (he does) but how he utilizes it. You have to play to your strengths in film, which several actors as well as creators struggle with. As an idea-man, an experimental risk-taker, Lucas is one of the best. For all the inspirations he took for *SW*, he also crafted many original elements in his world that became what we know today. Granted, he had a lot of help from others who deserve credit but, in the end, we owe much of this franchise's foundations to Lucas. He's certainly gone downhill at points over time but remains an endearing example of what art should be about.

My favorite George Lucas' rules of success are follow your passion and Be true to yourself. You cannot allow someone to persuade to become a mechanic if your heart is not in it. If you want to become a cartoon artist; be a cartoon artist, if your heart is in; and yoh love it. Ignoring the opinions of others is a key factor being true to your craft and not allowing distractions slow your creativity. Great video.

My favorite of George Lucas' rules for success was number #10 - Follow your Passion, because totally true to me as I was a kid I was done everything I did, then following something I really cared about. Is something that I loved, something I was very passionate about to it. And I always kept following that passion. Everything I passion for whether it was filmmaker, whether it was anthropology, whether it was artists, whether it was scientist or whether it was art, music, science, humanism. And eventually, it led me to my huge passion, my real passion, which is making a fan fiction story by use of themes and motifs in philosophical way of thinking by the way you view the world as major miracle, which is combined all of those things I really cared for. Also noted by being influenced by various filmmakers, animators, writers, directors, actors, fans, journalists, scientists and etc around the world. And I realized that, had I gone to get my degree. Everything I really cared for is part of me in personal as well as Evan Carmichael is being inspired to do good things from everyone around the world really understand.

[@CelestialWoodway]

A person becomes moral by considering their actions, weighing the consequences, and deciding whether they are doing more harm than good to themselves and other people. People don't like to be hurt, and they usually recognize that other people getting hurt is a similarly undesirable thing. When people are in danger of being mistreated, they seek out protection through cooperation and relationships. Society is simply a much larger extension of those relationships.

Because I see this in another man who is a world builder and someone who gets the wonder in cinema and can direct that creative energy so well, my mind is made up to reach that level and to do the impossible, which is to make films and live for it every day.

Things that apply to a relationship with God too.

[@cjkalandek996]

I may not have been a fan of Episode II, but I liked the other Star Wars prequels and I think George Lucas can be a very good idea man and can be a great storyteller.

1) Passion doesn't necessarily equate to success. Opportunity leads to success. 2) True. Face the brutal facts... especially about yourself. Don't just not make excuses, get off your ass and do something. 3) Yes... critical. Major in your talent. 4) Vague and generic statement unless you know what your true essence is (see #2). What if one is true to themselves but they're a drug addict? Doesn't work in this case. 5) Only if that feedback is from valid sources or from the best in your field. I wouldn't want feedback from an idiot who has no clue what my skill and talent does. 6) True... never quit. Most people quit just right before they're successful.. It's easier to succeed than fail. 7) Agreed 100%. 8) What George means is to find happiness in being grateful. Carnal pleasure NEVER leads to happiness. 9) YES. Be kind and considerate and compassionate. 10) YES. A rising tide raises all ships. Overall, a great video.
