I hope we don't keep getting new editions with new CGI.

George Lucas has probably convinced Chris Nolan Batman Begins needs more bats or something lol.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic but I really have to say this seems true. Every interview or audio commentary with him, etc I have watched has him come across as a really nice guy.

His ability to put out quality films has completely died many years ago obviously but the dude seems down to earth and a likeable guy from every indication I have seen. And is the type to happily sign autographs or take pictures with people who spot him out and about in public from what I read. He is no Michael Bay to put it lightly.

He's the quintessential "affable chap who's run out of talent," as far as I'm concerned. Great attitude, ambition, even imagination- but his skill has long dried up.

I'm not sure he ever had any talent, he just seemed really lucky to have such talented around him. He also seems like a nice guy but he also seems out of touch with reality but I suppose that often comes with having lots of money and lots of people just agreeing with you.
 
I'm still impressed by how much those original movies get you feeling like you are in another galaxy and time and you never once feel that anything is limited because of budget restrictions. The illusion and sense of scale is never broken eventhough as Lucas says it is just a desert and some sets in London.

Nice coat is a classic line. He needs to edit out Gyllenhaal and add Katie Holmes, then the trilogy will be just as it should be.

the nice coat part is the worst part of both movies by a mile. It's one of the worst things in movie history. You're telling me all this gun fire and shit is going on and homeless dude is just sitting there, and can hear batman tell him "nice coat" from that far away?

The nice coat serves a few purposes:

1) it's tension relief.
2) it's Batman's introduction.
3) it's a wrap-around showing that Bruce Wayne has metaphorically passed on.
4) it's funny as shit.

The worst part of both movies is easily when any policeman not named Gordon talks. smh.

I think that's a bit unfair, but an understandable element of the backlash his mere presence feeds these days. Looking at it bled of passion, George Lucas is a competent director who had off-kilter, exciting ideas when he was younger and was positioned at the right time in the right place to see out the fulfillment of his ambitions. The best movies he was involved with (Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, American Graffitti, etc.) had screenplays written by, or in collaboration with, other people - hell, Darabont nailed a few episodes of Young Indy I still remember vividly, and the currently-airing Clone Wars series isn't bad either. Star Wars 1977 is the only screenplay he did well by himself and it became magical; that movie alone, with the cultural impact it had, would be the achievement-of-a-lifetime for anyone. The problem is, George Lucas became George Lucas after that, and his franchise-rehash run since Phantom Menace, and a strange egotistical urge to control every part of the production process and divorce himself from true creative collaboration (which was the cornerstone of his best movies' success), has tarnished his legacy brutally. There's nothing new and good to cushion these creative bankruptcies - "missteps" might be too kind - and there doesn't look to be any respite so far as filmmaking goes. The real question then becomes: did George Lucas only ever have two brilliant ideas and one wholesale magical writer-director production in him or did he waste his potential before pissing on its tattered corpse in an old age populated by yes-men and inured complacency? The latter conclusion might actually be sadder.
