Por que George Lucas não dirigiu toda a trilogia original?

Por que George Lucas não dirigiu e escreveu o The Empire Strikes Back e o Return of the Jedi ? Isso parece estar em conflito com o quão protetor George Lucas é sobre seu “bebê”. Existe uma razão pela qual ele desistiu de seus poderes artísticos Sith para esses filmes?

Lucas revelou em várias entrevistas na época que ele estava farto de dirigir.

Em 1977, no set de Star Wars , ele contou American Film :

"I come from the filmmaker's school of doing movies, which means I do everything myself...If I left anything for a day, it would fall apart...Whenever there is a leak in the dam, I have to stick my finger in it. I should learn to say, 'Somebody else go plug it up.'"

Em 1983, ele disse:

"I dislike directing. I hate the constant dealing with volatile personalities. Directing is emotional frustration, anger, and tremendously hard work - seven days a week, twelve to sixteen hours a day. For years my wife would ask why we couldn't go out to dinner like other people. But I couldn't turn it off. Eventually, I realized that directing simply wasn't healthy for me."

Aparentemente, ele ficou nostálgico por isso, depois de uma longa ausência; em 1990, ele disse que queria voltar a dirigir:

"It's not that I prefer producing, that's just where I find myself these days. It wasn't something I did by choice. I was just more effective in the producing area, which is where the opportunities have presented themselves in the last few years...Ultimately, I'm a director. I've done many things, but that's where my heart is...I just want to get back to what I started doing.
