Hearing legions of Star Wars fans stoked to see George Lucas makes me feel even better that he passed on the franchise. I know the prequels are a trashfire but we can now move past them and love the man for what he (and others, uncredited) did.

Plus, so long as we're being nice to Lucas, the dude is a humanitarian badass. Look up his housing projects or where the SW money went. Dude owns.
