Lucas, 70, spoke about the film's revival at the 2015 Tribeca Film Featival, said The Hollywood Reporter.
He also noted how even the worst reviewed films can "float up to the surface of the lake, and then they become cult classics... It means you made an interesting movie or a weird movie, and a small group of people love it."
"Even Howard the Duck is a cult classic. I have a feeling that Marvel's gonna redo it because of the technology they have today," Lucas said.
