In my opinion, the greatest movie storyteller of our generation. People will recognise his true greatness one day.

The depth in Lucas's thinking is the reason that the previous Lucasfilm projects had soul, and TFA didn't.

I have a new deep profound respect for this man after this interview. I always assumed he was a money hungry sell out. shame on me lol. I guess he now has the high ground.

[@Ozzy-hm4be]

Very deep guy.. Shocking how much he gets trashed.

[@ProMonarchyGenius]

George Lucas is quite scholarly and deep.

The prequels, especially Episode III, serve the purpose Lucas designed them for, to show how a democracy, the Republic, became a dictatorship, the Empire, and show how a good person, Anakin Skywalker, became a bad person, Darth Vader. His fear, of losing people he loved, which led to his greed, for power and desire to control the entire universe, are very relatable. Say what you will about Lucas' inability to write scene-to-scene dialogue, and his preference to direct the technical, camera, the editing, the visual FX, the sound, the use of music, rather than direct actors, but the themes of his movies, including the prequels, especially Episode III, are very strong.

I love that. "The only prison you are in is the one in your mind."

[@Aidey75]

A legend on another level.

Come back George. RIP Star Wars.

“I realized I could do something no one else could” love this. Sums up anyone’s doubts and fears of pursuing their passions. If you believe it is something that you’re meant to do and you know for some reason whether it’s a divine, mythical or spiritual “force” than you need to complete it and finish the task.

Lucas is a genius. An incredible storyteller. The way he forged the two trilogies together is quite amazing.

"I only hope that those who see Star Wars recognize the Emperor when they see him."

[@shillaryclinty8661]

Lucas is a visionary

[@obirobkenobi48]

I agree 100% with George Lucas! Always have! Its refreshing to hear him say it proudly now a days! Best Lucas interview in years!!!!!

[@johnnietorch1598]

^One of the greatest creative geniuses of all time.

[@mononoke721]

So many great quotes as ever that speak such truths. The one that really stood out to me was "being creative, having an imagination; basically you don’t work inside the box, you don’t like being in the box”. So, so true.
