When he basically cussed out and effectively backstabbed Portable Ops and Rising just because they weren't made by him, basically made statements that far too many people are debating whether that means they are canon or not, or any of that, yes, that basically makes him narcissistic, and in fact, he even tweeted an image of a modded Raiden Play Arts KAI figure with his face on it that he allegedly got from Platinum Games. Honestly, Mega Man X6 wasn't even made by Keiji Inafune at all, yet even he at least made sure it was undeniably canon after it was made and even went as far as to change his original plans for the Mega Man Zero franchise specifically to take into account the events of X6.

@Jim Logan: I have every reason to have a lot of bad things to say about Lucas (namely how he promoted the Vietcong and implied we Americans were the Galactic Empire, the bad guys, in other words; Jar-Jar Binks, the shoddy handling of the Prequel Trilogy [including the fact that the Jedi philosophy as indicated in that place made them absolutely no different from Palpatine, and in fact ironically had Palpatine follow the bit about no attachments perfectly despite being a Sith Lord, their opposite and sworn enemy], Han Shot First, giving conflicting accounts on what exactly is the Chosen One's role in bringing balance to the force, and others), but the split timeline (I presume you mean the bit about making a separate Canon timeline and rendering pretty much everything pre-Disney takeover and certain sources after that time designated "Legends") is DEFINITELY NOT George Lucas's doing, that was Disney's. In fact, he actually has little control over Star Wars since Disney bought it from him, even rejecting outright the planned storyline for Episode VII. That being said, it being Disney's property now IS Lucas' fault considering he largely did it to effectively make himself tax exempt after new taxes are to be made after the 2012 elections. No I was talking pre-Disney canon split. Lucas said in 2012, he considers there to be about 7 Star Wars timelines, mainly "What if's", his original drafts, what he wanted to see happen after Episode III (etc). I am still pissed over what Disney did with their timeline split. But what I find funny is Lucas is all angry Disney didn't want to use any of Lucas's ideas for SW7. :P Oh, you mean the whole "Holocron Continuity Database" thing. Yeah, have to agree, especially when it's not even a neat, organized system (since Tao was given a canonical mention, as was the planet he died on, despite the fact that his manga was non-canon, which is definitely a problem on Wookieepedia right now thanks to the whole Legends/Canon thing), and even worse, they actually count George Lucas's word as law, literally, even when it's clearly meant to be a joke and not even meant to be taken seriously (like claiming Admiral Motti's [the guy Vader force choked after he foolishly mocked Vader's mention of the Force] full name was Conan Antonio Motti on the Conan O'Brien show, or claiming that Obi-Wan Kenobi's home planet's name was Stewjon on the Jon Stewart show.
