> of the trilogy that made him a household name. Star Wars had given him
> critical acclaim, made him rich and earned him an eternal place in
> cinema history. But when a Los Angeles Times reporter went out to his
> offices to interview him about wrapping Jedi, Lucas just seemed glad it
> was over. "There hasn't really been one day in the last 10 years that I
> haven't had to wake up in the morning and say, 'God, I've got to worry
> about this movie.' Now I feel as if this huge weight has been lifted off
> my shoulders .... If I had to do it all over again, I'd have to think
> about it, especially if I knew what I was going to have to give up in
> order to get it." Lucas compared working on the trilogy to being stuck
> on a speeder bike that wouldn't stop, and going 15 rounds with Muhammad
> Ali after he'd already been knocked "across the ring and out the door
> and into the next field." But 15-round fight or not, he had no choice.
> He had to finish the trilogy while everything was still assembled. "The
> reason I had to keep going on these three was because I had sets
> gathering dust, I was paying rent [on facilities], and my actors were
> getting older and were vulnerable to accidents. Over such a long period
> of time, anything could happen. So there was a lot of tension there --
> all the time. Now I don't have that. I could start the next series two
> years from now, or 10 years from now. It's a whole new mind-set,
> starting from scratch. There's no strong pull. The film cannot demand my
> time any more. I will decide when I'm ready." A decade and a half later
> Lucas returned to the Star Wars universe for the prequels, and a lot of
> fans probably wish he hadn't. Back then, though, Lucas was just grateful
> for the fan love and looking forward to a long break from the franchise
> that made him a star. "I definitely would give back the success, or
> trade it, if it hadn't been for the joy that some people have gotten
> from Star Wars -- that's the valuable part. That part is worth whatever
> I had to pay. I want to trade all the money and fame and bull. Now I've
> done my little bit, and I get some time to myself. I hope I can get back
> some of the joy I managed to put out there." (Via Hero Complex  )
