I think if he died around mid 90's it would've been perfect for him, no one would've ever known about the tragedy that waited around the corner, everyone today would just remember the genius that was George Lucas and fantazise about how amazing the prequels he had started working on would have been.
shareWell he has kids I think he is still happy to be alive... I believe he would prefer time with his kids and loved ones over dying and being remembered as a genius...
shareYeah, of course your family is the most important, but when it comes to his career i think he must regret sometimes not just killing himself before everything went to hell, it's weird to remember that when i was little George Lucas was basically a god among men.
shareMakes no sense... I am a billionaire I can do anything I want... But damn why didn't I kill myself 20 years ago...
I do not think hate from some teenage fanboys are enough to make him regret not killing himself...
Money won't save his reputation.
shareI think his reputation is just fine among his peers... And like I said I do not think he is that worried about his reputation among fanboys...
shareIt's not only fanboys, more like the whole world, i think you could make it a sport finding someone who genuinely thinks the prequels are good. Especially compared to the OT. Not to talk about how he threats the OT pretending the untouched cut doesn't exist. It's pretty much a fact he is a total asshole nowadays who his old self would be ashamed over.
shareI think most of the world have other things to worry about than George Lucas... It seems like you have something personal against Mr. Lucas?
I also prefer the OT... but I do not go around hating Lucas because he made a couple of bad films...
No, it's nothing personal, i just like to imagine where Star Wars would be and what his legacy would be today if the downfall, starting with the special editions and everything that followed, never happened.
shareim sure if he died in the 90s it would not of been perfect for him considerring he was mid 50s
shareMost people care more about improving their quality of life, even if they're already millionaires, than about leaving behind a flawless body of work.
Around middle age, most artists lose whatever creative drive they had in their youth.
