Lucas lost it after TESB, pretty much. From then on it has been "these movies don't NEED to be as good as they could be in order to make money". He even said something like that to Gary Kurtz.
And it's pretty evident in ROTJ and the prequels.
Monster Zero x SciFi Japan - Archive Only
The Board is Down with no repair ETR. My apologies but we don't have the money or resources to repair the issue. It is broken on the back-end and is only here to view as an archive. Thank you for your years of patronage.
How would you react to an all-CG film?

and sadly, he was right, since he knew there was a built in audience that would just accept any crap he wrote as long as it had pretty effects to dazzle them with.
as far as a cg Godzilla, i reckon it would be interesting, and could be good, if there was a good script involved. one that preferable didn't have the main character wanting to get revenge on Godzilla for killing a teammate.
but it would lose the charm of the suit, which is one of the reasons we love these movies... isn't it?

The thing that bothers me most about Lucas is he's a hypocrite about Sci-fi film making.
Back when the original became such a smash hit. He said this:
"I think other science fiction movies fail because they spend a lot of time making cool looking effects. So they would tend to spend too much time focusing on them instead of the story. While I try to focus more on the characters and the story."
So if that's true. What the hell happened to that wonderful piece of wisdome in his prequels?
They're all special effects movies with iffy character developement. Exactly the kind of thing he said he wanted to stay away from.
Did he bump his head in the shower and forget everything he learned?
Maybe the real George Lucas died after TESB. And ILM created an evil robot copy of him that's making these new effects based movies?

Which is exactly what Kurtz was getting at. He changed completely after TESB. Money and fame can do that to a person, which we know too well.
