But it all was really really bad, and all the Lucasites try to sweep it under the rug. -

The Star Wars films of George Lucas have made him one of the most successful moviemakers in history. He was the co-writer and director of American Graffiti (1973, with Ron Howard), the film that kicked off a country-wide craze for 1950's nostalgia. With his clout from that success he made Star Wars, a slam-bang space adventure which broke box office records around the world. Four sequels have been made to date, including The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Attack of the Clones (2002). With Steven Spielberg, Lucas also created the dashing archaeologist Indiana Jones; Lucas produced Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and its sequels, while Spielberg directed. Lucas's other producing credits include the animated feature The Land Before Time (1988) and a famous flop, Howard the Duck (1986). Lucas is also the head of LucasFilms and the special effects studios Industrial Light & Magic, and is famous for his Skywalker Ranch production facilities north of San Francisco. In 1992 Lucas received a special Oscar, the Irving G. Thalberg Award for Lifetime Achievement.

You stated that he directed. He did not.
An executive producer is a producer who is not involved in any technical aspects of the film process, they typically handle, or have handled by their rank-and-file people, larger business or legal matters. -

Howard the Duck is the ultimate argument against the "Lucas is Infallible" crowd.
As a wise man once said, it's like playing Rock, Paper, Scissors, Punch in the Throat. It trumps everything.
In the 26 years since the release of Star Wars, Lucas has beeen fairly busy. The only thing that people choose to remember are the Star Wars flims, and Raiders films, which owe a great deal to Spielberg. People have blocked out the rest, for much the same reason that women tend to block out the memory of childbirth. It's a defense mechanism againt agoinzing memories.
The inability for some fans to admit that Lucas has occaisionally been wrong is nearly Stalinistic in its fear to criticize the Great One. Lucas made some of the most memorale movies of all time. He's also made some crap. I personnally haven't liked anything since Empire, but feel that Star Wars and Empire were among the best films ever made. -

Hey, hey, hey.
Don't lump me amongst the Lucas faithful just because I stated he didn't direct The Land Before Time. He didn't direct it. End of story. -

Funny that it's so forcing, considering that Lucas didn't come up with the idea, didn't write the story, didn't write the screenplay, and didn't direct it. His main contribution was letting his friends use ILM for the effects.
Nor is Lucas exactly the only well-known director to have his name attached to an inferior product. Look at Coppola, who has such masterpieces as "Jeepers Creepers" and "Jeepers Creepers 2" on his resume. You don't hear this brought up against him the way "Howard" is used against Lucas. -

Because Coppola doesn't have a bunch of zombie fans who chant his name and applaud when his company comes up in the credits.
I swear if he just filmed himself on the toilet for 90 minutes and called it Episode Seven, people would defend it, and it would make more money than the whole Godfather trilogy.
