Only he doesn't make as much money as his employers expected. Star Wars Episode IX should have made Avengers Endame box office, and it barely cracked a billion. Yes, a billion is a ton of money, but I'll bet Disney had projections and Rise of Skywalker fell short. His resume certainly looks pretty slim post-Star Wars.

Well, good, I hate what he did for both Star Trek and Star Wars, and his story telling style to me epitomizes everything wrong with Hollywood. Glib, shallow characters with no depth that I don't care about, and routine plot shortcuts.

But, again, Lucas was hardly a masterful writer, too. The prequels were pretty awful, IMHO, and of the original 3 I only really like "Empire Strikes Back"
