More quotes by George Lucas
Star Wars is a saga of Good vs. Evil, divided into nine parts.
George Lucas
I think one of the reasons that Steven (Spielberg) and I have been as successful as we have is because we like the movies. We like to go to the movies. We enjoy movies and we want to make movies like the ones we enjoy.
George Lucas
I must admit I suffered a bit when I first came to England. But then I realised that there was nothing to be intimidated by, everybody had two legs.
George Lucas
There wasn't much as a kid that inspired me in what I did as an adult, but I was always very interested in what motivates people, and in telling stories and building things.
George Lucas
I want to live where I want to live, and I will make films because I love to make films.
George Lucas
We tried to do Yoda in CGI in Episode I, but we just couldn't get it done in time. We couldn't get the technology to work, so we had to use the puppet, but the puppet really wasn't as good as the CGI. So when we did the reissue, we had to put the CGI back in, which was what it was meant to be.
George Lucas
I like making movies. I like the process. I like trying out new ideas, and if they don't work, they don't work. That's the reason I generated the money in the first place, to be able to try things. That's where I spend my money.
George Lucas
I regret not the things I have done, only those I have yet to do.
George Lucas
[In ancient Rome,] why did the senate after killing Caesar turn around and give the government to his nephew? Why did France after they got rid of the king and that whole system turn around and give it to Napoleon? It's the same thing with Germany and Hitler.
George Lucas
Although I write screenplays, I don't think I'm a very good writer. I'm very interested in studying cultures and social issues, but as an academic I don't think I would have been too successful.
George Lucas
I think crossing into the digital age is the big move for the industry. I think it will be the biggest thing that's happened while I've been making movies. I equate it to the invention of color or sound, and I don't see any other major technical process coming along and changing that.
George Lucas
Train yourself to let go of the things you fear to lose.
George Lucas
I thought it was too wacky for the general public. On his original opinion of his movie's chances for success, 1997.
George Lucas
Always remember, your focus determines your reality.
George Lucas
'American Graffiti' was unpleasant because of the fact that there was no money, no time, and I was compromising myself to death.
George Lucas
I felt that one of the major issues in the third film is that Luke is finally on his own and has to fight Vader and the Emperor by himself. If you get a sense that Yoda or Ben is there to help him or to somehow influence him, it diminishes the power of the scene.
George Lucas
There wasn't anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies.
George Lucas
As you go through history, I didn't think it was going to get quite this close. So it's just one of those recurring things. I hope this doesn't come true in our country. Maybe the film will waken people to the situation.
George Lucas
The sciences are the 'how,' and the humanities are the 'why' - why are we here, why do we believe in the things we believe in. I don't think you can have the 'how' without the 'why.'
George Lucas
One of the most telling things about film school is you've got a lot of students wandering around saying, Oh, I wish I could make a movie. I wish I could make a movie.
George Lucas
