Also, certain EU elements he already signed off on had a higher chance of being filmed if he was still in charge. He certainly wouldn't have made a soft-remake of A New Hope.

He does stink as a director and script writer. We have 2 horrible movies, and 1 "ok" movie to prove that.

George Lucas does haveas great ideas though. just having the idea for Star Wars is amazing in itself. The prequels too are even pa great idea, and it is really visioniary work to create this huge universe that he did. However at some point he lost the ability to be able to put his ideas on screen in a convincing fashion.

The Clone Wars animated series is a good example of George Lucas being on his game. Lot of those ideas on that show come from him, and he was able to successfully hand stuff off to the people on that show who could properly visualize it for him. If he could do that with his movies, and didn't have do be involved with every job and detail I bet episodes 1.2, & 3 would have been better.
