George Lucas was once a very promising young filmmaker working under the wing of his mentor Francis Ford Coppola in the heyday of New Hollywood, so it’s a bit depressing seeing his legacy get eclipsed by “Star Wars.” Between “American Graffiti” and “THX 1138” audiences were robbed of more distinct films by Lucas, and Ford Coppola seems to be sad that Lucas has only directed “Star Wars” movies since 1977.
