  @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHXLsHOdPiw&amp;t=578">9:38</a> &quot;well, to be very honest with you, we weren&apos;t really that interested in making money. We were interested in making Movies! That was a big difference.&quot;

  At 58 minutes in, George makes an essential point that I have known in all of my movie-watching experience. &nbsp;SOUND IS HALF THE MOVIE. &nbsp;You make a visual scene emotional in the way you want to convey it through good choices of musical theme. &nbsp;Music becomes a character in of itself and helps to define the characters and their journey within the show. &nbsp;Too many productions forget this.

  I might not agree with every decision he has made concerning Star Wars and Indiana Jones, but I stand by this man 1,000,000% because he understands that people want a good story

  Truly delighted by George clarifying that he did, in fact, pay Sam Jackson a salary for performing in the movie, and the purple lightsaber was not his compensation.

  I really want George to direct another film, but it looks like he’s enjoying his retirement. He’s a national treasure.

  I share George Lucas passion for antropology and I myself studied egyptology and archaeology. So happy and greatfull that George Lucas created STAR WARS and Indiana Jones and have been a passionate fan of his work ever since STAR WARS and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

  Recent photos don’t do George Justice cause he looks FABULOUS for 80. He looks spry, lost weight his voice sounds a lot stronger too

  I love the prequels, thank you George Lucas. A pure soul &nbsp;making kino after a kino in a world where everyone&apos;s just sharpening his knife to &apos;critique&apos; everything.
