The surprise here is how many other movie productions George Lucas was involved in, as an executive producer, apart from his mainstay movies like Star Wars and Indiana Jones. This guy has been an indie filmmaker his whole life and the rest of us have hardly noticed. I love this quote from Lucas regarding a barely-remembered small film in 1986 titled "Latino":

"On the one hand I'm doing these huge productions and at the same time I'm helping on these little productions, for my friends. They're all interesting movies, movies that I cared about and wanted to see made one way or another. Some of them were small failures, some of them were huge failures and some were extremely nice movies. But in most of the interviews with me, and even within the company, they're passed right over, as though they never existed. But those movies may be closer to what I am than Star Wars." ( )
