Quoted from Jason43:Have things gotten so bad that we've all forgotten just how badly George Lucas butchered Star Wars?
In comparison the prequels maybe more watchable than The Last Jedi, which is damning with faint praise.
I think thats just a clickbait rumor, no one that I can recall has asked for Lucas to come back and save Star Wars. Whatever mojo he had going for him was pretty much gone by Return of the Jedi which itself was spotty.
Been noted that very, very few directors have consistently good output. Some only have one or two movies that make the grade and its all downhill from there. George Lucas and a bunch of talented people created a fantastic universe to set stories in, pity it is so underutilized.
