Proves that Lucas was addicted to making B Movies

Star Wars is a B Movie space western turned in to an A Movie (if you like that sort of thing). Indiana Jones too, especially the inclusion of scifi in Crystal Skull. Howard the Duck is simply not as good as it should have been. The duck suit itself is well made. But the Dark Lord is far too creepy and one note to dominate so much of this film. Either make it wholly 'adult' or wholly child friendly, not this uneasy mish mash. But the main problem is simply that it doesn't have enough fun set pieces. Lucas seems to prefer hammy, cheesy dialogue and acting. I am sure his entire film career is meant to be an injoke like what would a moralistic Russ Meyer release if he was in to puppets, spaceship and aircraft shots and 30s/40s adventure serials?
