In all of Lucas' films, his main concern is getting his view across to the audience. He wants to portray his vision in the most vivid way possible so the audience can hopefully get a grasp of what message he is trying to get across, or what item he wants to address. Trying to get his idea across became an obsession for Lucas. The scene had to be almost entirely what he envisioned. In fact, Lucas would go to excessive lengths in creating a near perfect scene in comparison to other directors of his day. He further displayed his perfectionism when he wrote out screenplays. For example, "he only used No. 2 lead pencils, making his tiny print almost impossible to read" (Pollock 143).

On the set, Lucas was a mastermind and a compulsive creator of visual imagery. Off the set, he was a creative coordinator. He spent co

untless hours developing the plot, story line, and dialogues of his movies. He then spent what time he had left pitching those scripts and ideas, and developing new ones. George wrote in a letter to his wife during the filming of Star Wars, "I forget how impossible making movies really is, I get so depressed, but I guess I'll get through it somehow..."(Pollock 168). If a person lives largely in a duality of something (having a passion for it, and then occasionally hating it), why would they continue with that line of work?

Thanks to Lucasfilm's enormous capital, they are able to constantly upgrade their software, facilities, and sound engineering. The economic phenomenon known as supply and demand that exists between Lucasfilms and the graphic software companies pushes the standard even further.

In 1983, shortly after the release of Return of the Jedi, the Computer Division was reorganized to form the two entertainment companies Pixar and Games. At that point in George's career, he was on the top. He had all the money, the fame, the power, and the recognition he desired, and more. All of the companies and divisions he developed were creating new technology and techniques on their own. He gave the occasional creative input, but for the most part the creative supervisors were directing the technology tides. This left the actual construction of George's vision up to others under him. He just sat back, pushed the buttons, and fell into the role of ruling the empire. He continues to reign as the all-powerful creator today.

George, with the help of his subordinates, continues to make movies more realistic for his audiences. He is convinced that his vision, whatever it may be for the corresponding movie, should be seen. He also desires that the messages behind the imagery should be heard. "...I think that every time you [make the imagery and sound more idealistic, the audience gets] a little more knowledge and it pushes the idea a little bit further" (Ebert 112). When will George stop? When will he be content? I believe his perfectionist methodology will propel him until his vision is near or at completion.

Star Wars displayed what Lucas wanted to depict regarding his spiritual side. He makes the purpose of Star Wars clear to author Dale Pollock in the book Skywalking: The Life and Films of George Lucas. Dale stated "The message of Star Wars is religious: God isn't dead, he's there if you want him to be. 'The laws really are in yourself,' Lucas is fond of saying; the Force dwells within" (Pollock 139). This r
