In Lucas' defense a lot of directors loose their touch with success. Spielberg for example definitely isn't the same man he was in his youth.

Oh and those 2 were such acclaimed successes weren't they? ANH was the only 'great' film he's ever done. 30-40 years in the business and you have 1 'great' film under your belt. Every dog has its day as they say. Can't say the same for Scorcese, Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Kubrick, Coppola, Mann, Kerschner etc. He gives the ideas and lets people who know what they're doing do the rest. Simple.

Your personal pick aside, I believe Graffiti fits the category of "acclaimed success."

In all seriousness, 'Americana' films just ain't my cup of tea (though saying that I thought 'Stand by Me' was very good. But that was just a great story rather than a homage to 50's Americana. I still stick by my previous statement that the only truly 'great' film Lucas has done is ANH. It's THE film that defined him, that made him known for who is today. The creator of Star Wars.
