I read something about George Lucas paralleling Darth Vader which inspired this; Starting off poised to be an underground, indie innovator artist, but -through the success of Star Wars- losing his way and becoming the kind of person he didn't want to be. He hated the corporatism that was taking over Hollywood, but now is head of a corporate Empire. He hated that movies were only being made for money, and became the head of a merchandising Empire. He hated studios and moguls altering past films and damned the wave of colorization going on in the 80's, but subsequently changed his own films and used CGI like it was going out of style, and damned the people asking him to change his films back.

So what if George Lucas did become an underground indie film maker? I don't know the necessary POD, whether Star Wars flops or never comes to be.
