But while George Lucas enjoys that title, his fellow filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola feels it is not enough.
In an interview with Vulture, Coppola, who produced Lucas’ first movie American Graffiti, expressed his sadness over the fact that Lucas never made any other films after Star Wars.
“I figured I would forgo [micromanaging new Star Wars films as a producer], enjoy what I had, and I was looking forward to raising my daughter.
For his part, Lucas seems to have made his peace with knowing that Star Wars will be the films that he will forever be best known for.
