The link at the bottom is probably the best one, but there are more lists, everywhere, and Lucas doesn't usually make them at all.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

When the career of George Lucas is reviewed, will he be the most influential film-maker of all time?

It is going to be the same way with Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs shouldn't be remembered for the Apple II, it was Woz's creation.

He deserves all the credit he gets, he's a superior artist to his pals Spielberg & Coppola

My point is that his greatest contribution is horrifically overlooked.

I'm going to start making a list of people who say stuff like this to me.

That's giving a single man way too much credit and influence, and under the wrong title

I'm not sure the OP was saying he was the most influential director

Pretty sure I said film-maker. (Checks the Subject line.) Yep, I did. *NM*

That's precisely the problem. You said filmmaker, not effects studio owner. *NM*

Thats the point, he didn't actually change anything; he demanded that others change things.

You have a strange definition of influence.

Not really, influence is somthing actively done, his role was too passive.

Spielburg, Howard, Coppola, Tarrentino... There is a long list, even only among the modern filmakers *NM*

Maybe, no, no, and no. Lucas had a much bigger impact that any of the film-makers .....
