I think some of that also has to do with him covering his ass. Realistically, what else does Lucas have besides Star Wars? He hasn't come out with anything successful besides SW in nearly 20 years (if you count Willow.) Ok, yes, he had a hand in Indiana Jones, but I guess it's sort of up in the air if that was "Visionary George Lucas" or really just Spielberg being able to reign in some of his stupidity. I think George Lucas doesn't want to give Star Wars away for fear he'll have no other ideas.
