George Lucas: Genius or Crazy Person?

Over the course of his career, Lucas has made some rather brilliant and amazingly stupid
decisions. Which category does he fall into? The evidence:

Genius:
He made some of the most introspective films of all time including "American Grafftti" and "Star Wars."
He gave some of the most talented stage and voice over actors a chance to show their stuff.

Crazy person:
He stuffed so much CGI crap into the Star Wars prequels.
He gave us some of the most laughable dialogue ever (don't believe me? Watch "Attack of the Clones.")
Thanks to his drection, he gave us some of the worst acting I've ever seen in a movie.
The "Special Edition" of the original Star Wars trilogy actually qualify as mutations.

Verdict?
When there are at least three differant versions of "The Empire Strikes Back" you know
somethings wrong.
