[QUOTE="LilMissKittyn, post: 2107765, member: 27216"] Let me explain something. I'm an artist AND a conceptualist. I'm going into college as a computer programmer/musician/teacher, and I'm arguably the best flutist (for the high school level) in the state, which makes me good enough to be professional. I've taken art lessons since I was six, danced since I was four, been writing as a hobby since I was seven, and I've been acting for three years. I think I know a little something about concept creation. I know my opinions aren't fact, but at least I have more to back them up than, "Oh, well, the movies made a lot of money." I already SAID that bad movies can make a lot of money. I also, if you actually read the whole thread like I did before posting, I said that Lucas isn't the worst. In fact, I accentuated it by making it the last thing in my post. And yes, I know this wasn't directed at me, but the same thing has been said in replies to me and I thought I'd make it absolutely clear for those of you who seem to not be able to read. Please don't reply to my post without examples. It just makes you look silly. Someone posted something about "don't criticize unless you've done it yourself." I've made movies. Not professionally, but I know how to handle a camera. But you don't have to make movies to know good movies. You just have to a) have eyes, b) have ears, c) have some kind of intellectual refinement, and d) know what to look for. It's not so hard, it just takes a little time and effort. I know enough about psychology to pass a junior-year college exam on mood disorders (actually, that's an area I know less in than the others; my specialty is anxiety disorders) I can usually accurately diagnose a person long before they tell me what the actual diagnosis is. Does that give me the right to hand them a pill bottle? No. But it does give me the right to give them some advice, as a friend, on how to help them. I hope that makes sense. Read it again if it doesn't. One more thing. I've seen Episodes 1, 4, 5, and 6 ONCE. Read that again, ONCE. I'm not a Star Wars fan, though I am a gamer and a major sci-fi fan. I do know movies. I know how hard it is to make them, to produce them, etc, etc. There's people out there that can do it. Lucas is close, he just needs someone else to be there to "edit" his works. Think of it as a kind of newspaper system; he's the journalist. Oh yeah, and I enjoyed American Graffiti. I really did; Lucas has some talent. And he did create a magical world that people will emulate for a long time. I'm asking about improving, not deleting. There's a difference. Don't let your idolation keep you from seeing otherwise.
