A saying off the phenomena that George Lucas simply cannot keep his hands off his own original trilogy of movies. He has updated them with 4 separate incarnations of
CG graphics over a 15 year span. This has created a frankenstonian
mess of old film footage with high resolution graphic composites on top. Therefore, the term 'Pulling a Lucas' just means that you cannot stop yourself from updating your own successfully completed works and projects. It'
s the modern, 'if it ain't
broke don't fix it'.
Dude, why did you update that film (
paper,
render, car, suit, etc.) you created, it was
already perfect!? You pulling a Lucas bro!
