Seriously, why does Lucas get to make movies?

[The Princess]

I don't see movies in the theater very often. Heh, about as often as I post here anymore Lance and I managed to get a date night on Friday and went to see the Indy movie. The *only* reason I was willing to see the movie was because I knew Spielberg was involved and I had hopes he would do right by the movie.

Oh sweet Jesus I was wrong. I have decided that Spielberg is so far up Lucas' ass, he is a human diamond. I mean, what could he possibly have spent all his money on to need to do another movie...ever?

I will not easily see another thing that Lucas is inolved with, and doubt I'll see something with Spielbergs name on it.

Fucking chumps.

I ask the same thing about Michael Bay every day of my life.

[James Patrick]

because his movies make about a half a billion a piece

Thats good for you, I don't get why people think they have the right to attack creators for absolutely nothing.

Yes the latest trilogy had its bad moments but George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are both talented film makers.

Sounds reasonable to me.

I can't talk to you anymore.

George lucas made at least 5 or 6 amazing movies many years ago. As a reward for that, he's allowed to be fantastically rich and make what ever kind of terrible movies he wants.

I don't say shit for Lucas, but really? I'm cut off from talking to Tony Fleecs ever again, because I think Michael Bay should die in a fire?

Harsh, bro... Harsh.

Ummmmm, to answer the question posed in the title of this thread:

Because he made Star Wars, THX-1138, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and while doing so revolutionized both visual and sound effects technology. And, yeah:
