Has he even directed anything that good since the original Star Wars movies.

Although I adore those films, I think he is massively overrated.

So here it goes: Is george lucas dead to you?
To me, he died today. I know I will seem like a troll but whatever, the changes to the original SW aren't something I am ok with so yeah, to me, he died back then and now he is a clone controlled by Spielberg.
So tell me escapists...
He was never alive. Lucas has always been a shitty director, it's only nostalgia that makes people think that he just now became one. They are films that went past their expiration date in about 1986.

Now lets forget about Star Wars before we hold the sci-fi genre back another 30 years, shall we?
Now now, American Graffiti is a decent film.

I think people are objecting because they see him as changing something that already worked. StarTrek adds to the universe and builds on it, StarWars is being reinvented every few years to milk a few more dollars. The original movie gave so much to work with, so many open questions that could be explained or not even needed to be explained. Now everything needs a clear answer or tied so tight that it has no fun value. And a lot of the new things are targeted towards young children, again, of course, for the money.
I mention StarTrek because it is also a long lasting SciFi series with movies. Although it started with a series THEN movies, while SW was the other way around. I have long since given up on George Lucas (not the SW franchise). But I would like to know if this is truly HIS idea and not some marketing exec.

nope, i quite liked all star wars movies. Maybe because i don't really care about star wars "lore" and not invested in universe in first place, because i'm Trekkie.

Every time you even hear a mention of the reboot, you just stop whatever conversation you were in and
And that is how you fight this abomination he is creating.
I mean, he added a single word, Good Heavens this is horrible!

If he is dead to all of you how the fuck does he keep continuing to make you cry?

He must be pretty darn talented.

Anyway, no, he isn't dead to me. I'm pretty sure his heart is still beating. He can do whatever the hell he likes with the Star Wars franchise, it's his. He holds no duty to you to appease your tastes.

Ok, remaking Yoda in PM as a CGI version: Good move. The puppet they used looked hideous. Other than that, I think that when he does actually die (or whoever holds the rights to Star Wars does) that some of the worlds best directors will come to our aid and remake this bullshit.

Eh, he was never particularly "alive" to me in the first place.

I don't hate the guy or his work, I'm just mostly indifferent.

I don't really care about him, or the expanded universe. The way I see it all force users ended with Luke Skywalker, thus bringing balance to the Force, so the canon stops there. the Prequels, meh, they'll do, but the real awesomeness was from KOTOR. Because Revan is awesome.
Nope, Luke did not bring balance to the force, he destroyed the balance.

When Darth wiped out the Jedi they were left with 2 Sith, and 2 Jedi...balance. Ok, those two jedi were cowering uselessly in a corner, but balance was there.

When Luke became a Jedi Obi fell to Darth, once again Darth maintained the balance of the force.

As Leah began to become aware of her powers, Yodi fell, once again maintaining balance.

Then Luke confronting the Emperor lead to the Sith being eliminated, destroying balance and creating the imbalance in the force.
No no no. There is no Light Side. There is the Force, and there is a Dark Side of the Force. If there is no Dark Side then there is only the Force. Hence, balance. Similarly, if you have cancer, then having cancer in one half of your body isn't balance, having no cancer is.
