George Lucas Blames 'Star Wars' Critics for Killing Series

Sci-fi filmmaker hurt by harsh feedback from some fans about the prequels

By David Eckstein

For any fans awaiting future "Star Wars" films from George Lucas, it's going to be a long wait. The creator of the famed series says he's not going to make any more of these movies and that he's essentially retiring.

And for that he blames the harsh feedback from certain fans.

"Why would I make any more when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?" he tells The New York Times.

Oh well.

[pantherclaw]

Why should he?

The prequals failed to live up to the original 3.

Glad to hear.

[Razzy]

He'll make them 10 years from now an then he will claim that he had all 9 written before filming the first.

Or he'll just re-release the originals again, but this time Greedo commits suicide and Han tries to stop him from shooting himself.

When you can keep releasing the same 6 movies every 5 years with a new tweak or two...what's the point of making more?

[Porn Shop Clerk]

good

fug him and his fat neck

Still too proud to admit you screwed up 1-3, eh George?

Sorry but if the quality could match 4-6 I'd love to see it but we know he doesn't have it in him anyways.

I kind of liked 3...1 & 2 not so much.

[Mvp2014]

the story has been told, there's no need for more. I don't really even care for Star Wars but I'm willing to bet most actual fans would agree with me.

I disagree. Yea, the new ones blew, but so do all the new movies. What harm would it do to see episode 7? If you wanna be a little prick, just don't watch it.

I kind of liked 3...1 & 2 not so much.

Revenge was the least offensive of the 3 but still missed the point of the series entirely.

Turn it over to a decent writer/director then. The stories are already out there in book form, you just have to adapt them to movies if that's what you really want to do.

I love Star Wars... read the books, watch the movies... but George, really? People complained because the prequels SUCKED ASS compared to the original 3. The writing sucked, the acting sucked (due to bad direction and writing). You can't make movies that stand on SFX alone... people don't like 'em.

If that's his real reason for not making more, then he's just a big baby.

[Inimicus]

There is a God!!!

Lucas is a hack.
