After you've done the first feature, then you have heck of a difficult time getting your second film off the ground. They look at your first film and they say, Oh well, we don't want you anymore.

More quotes by George Lucas
[Star Wars is] designed primarily to make young people think about the mystery. Not to say, 'Here's the answer.' It's to say, 'Think about this for a second. Is there a God? What does God look like? What does God sound like? What does God feel like? How do we relate to God?'
George Lucas
Sometimes people are surprised to learn that most of the films I've made don't work. They've been released but nobody has ever seen them. Maybe 40 percent of them are very successful. That's a very high percentage most people have maybe 10 or 15 percent of their films work.
George Lucas
One thing about 'Star Wars' that I'm really proud of is that it expands the imagination. That's why I like the 'Star Wars' toys.
George Lucas
I was never interested in being powerful or famous. But once I got to film school and learned about movies, I just fell in love with it. I didn't care what kind of movies I made.
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've always tried to be aware of what I say in my films, because all of us who make motion pictures are teachers - teachers with very loud voices.
George Lucas
I like Star Wars, it's fun and I enjoy doing it. But it's definitely not my life. I'm a bigger movie fan than I am Star Wars fan. I like making movies.
George Lucas
I'm not in a contest. I make movies. I'm not a racehorse.
George Lucas
But having a really good understanding of history, literature, psychology, sciences - is very, very important to actually being able to make movies.
George Lucas
As I talk to film students now especially, I say, The easiest job you'll ever get is to try to make your first film. That's the easy one to get, is the first film because nobody knows whether you can make a film or not.
George Lucas
Star Wars is a saga of Good vs. Evil, divided into nine parts.
George Lucas
You need peers you need people who are at the same level you are. You never know in life when you're going to need help, and you never know who you're going to need it from.
George Lucas
Our system of education is locked in a time capsule. You want to say to the people in charge, 'You're not using today's tools! Wake up!'
George Lucas
The secret to film is that it's an illusion.
George Lucas
Human nature means battling constantly between being completely self-absorbed and trying to be a communal creature. Nature makes you a communal creature. The ultimate single-minded, self-centered creature is a cancer cell. And mostly, we're not made up of cancer cells.
George Lucas
These Are Not The Droids You Are Looking For.
George Lucas
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
George Lucas
I’m moving away from the business, from the company, from all this kind of stuff.
George Lucas
Even in high school I was very interested in history - why people do the things they do. As a kid I spent a lot of time trying to relate the past to the present.
George Lucas
Young people don't have a fantasy life anymore, not the way we did. All they've got is Kojak and Dirty Harry. There's all these kids running around wanting to be killer cops.
George Lucas
