Do you wish George Lucas was still in control of Star Wars?


I recently rewatched the Star Wars prequels for the first time in over a decade and, I have to say, what I was most struck by was . . . just how good they actually are.

Like a lot of other people, I was initially critical of these films. But upon my rewatch, I realized just how inspired and ambitious George Lucas's vision was. Revenge of the Sith in particular is a fantastic film.

So it made me wonder, would Star Wars be in a better place if Lucas was still in control? I am of course predicating this on him actually making new Star Wars films.

So what I am asking, essentially, is if you think the Star Wars franchise would be in a better place today if George Lucas, and not Disney's minions, had written and directed the last three movies.

I was fine with everything up until TLJ. Now the prequels aren't looking so bad anymore.
