Remember, you are dealing with 2 very different personalities here.
Lucas has a very aggressive vision of the technology needed to create
the effect he wants in the theater. He almost single-handedly forced a
major improvenment in the delivered quality of surround sound. I pick
that example rather than all the ways he has moved special effects
forward because it's an example where he directly affected the equipment
in thearters (and homes). Spielberg tends to create his vision with
whatever technology is already available, without pushing the envelope
of the possible.

As for the debate on when the motion picture industry will go digital, a relevant one-page article appeared on page 95 of the 21 December 2002 issue of The Economist: "Face value -- A movie-making Luddite". Basically, Steven Spielberg (director of ET, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, etc) says that digital is not "just aroud the corner", while George Lucas (Star Wars, etc) argues the contrary.
