More quotes by George Lucas

Image
[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?'

I have a strong feeling about interesting people in space exploration. . . . And the only way it's going to happen is to have some kid fantasize about getting his ray gun, jumping into his spaceship, and flying into outer space.

Image
It's not a matter of how well can you make a movie. It's how well can you make it under the circumstance, because there's always circumstances. You cannot use that as an excuse.
George Lucas
Image
I live a reasonably simple life, off the beaten track.
George Lucas
Image
No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.

One of the things that will never get explained in the films is how Ben was able to retain his identity, because it happened somewhere between the third and fourth movies. I set up that this is a discipline that he learned from Yoda Yoda told him how to do that.

I grew up in the era, 'Don't trust anybody over 30.' And, you know, I still feel that. Don't trust me.

I made lots of movies while in school while everybody else was running around saying, Oh, I wish I could make a movie. I wish they'd give me some film.

Art is the retelling of certain themes in a new light, making them accessible to the public of the moment.
George Lucas
Image
On the Internet, all those same guys that are complaining I made a change are completely changing the movie. I’m saying: ‘Fine. But my movie, with my name on it, that says I did it, needs to be the way I want it.’
George Lucas
Image
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.

Image
I'd be the first person to say I can't write dialogue. My dialogue is very utilitarian and is designed to move things forward. I'm not Shakespeare. It's not designed to be poetic.
George Lucas
Image
'American Graffiti' was unpleasant because of the fact that there was no money, no time, and I was compromising myself to death.

Don't avoid the cliches - they are cliches because they work!
George Lucas
Image
Obviously, people have a lot of different dreams of where America should be, and where it should fit into things. Obviously, very few of them are compatible, and very few of them are very compatible with the laws of nature.

To be renewed is everything. What more could one ask for than to have one's youth back again?

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.

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.
