Yes. Because those half dozen people mentioned in the article as "overrated" are the only creators in the entire history of pop culture.
I did too and I enjoyed it a lot.
I like a good WW2 movie. And I do want to support films not catering to the default Hollywood "money" gestault. They do not know everything, no matter what their acccountants claim, waving their math and spreadsheets around.
Those assclowns gave us "Car 54 The Movie".
Definitely.
I read a comment a while ago where one person said "I will never forgive Lucas for the prequels." I mean, get a grip!
I agree with this, it definitely get out of hand. I was even guilty of some of that, I must admit, back in the day. However...you do look at the prequels and compare them to the originals, whatever "magic" the OT captured, and it most certainly did, the PT was a mere shadow of. I enjoyed them, but they aren't the classics the OT were, for reasons most are aware of.
If there are more SW movies, I hope he isn't the guy. And on the coming SW TV series, I also hope he isn't the one making the storytellign decisions or writing the scripts.
Lucas' strength now, and probably always has been, producer and idea guy, overall conceptualist. Exec producer, IOW.
Agreed. While I think the personal attacks on Lucas have been ridiculous, I think the criticism of him as a filmmaker is valid. The changes into the SE's are fair game. Not having Han be a guy who shoots first goes against the character as portrayed in ANH. If Han's that decent a guy at the beginning of ANH, it cheapens his selfless decision to return and help Luke at the end of the movie. Marring a brilliant scene like Vader saving Luke is another...the scene worked perfectly as it was. You could see the conflict on Vader's face, which is impressive considering he was wearing a mask. You don't need to be told that he's struggling with his decision. Show, don't tell.
At the same time too, The Clone Wars series has shown how GL can still be involved with a good SW product. Lucas is definitely involved in the series, make no mistake. But others write it and he had a strong director in Dave Filoni. As a result, the show has been excellent.
Looks like Red Tails had a better-than-expected week, grossing over $19 million at the box office. The critical reviews might have been poor but audience response has been great. If they can produce another strong week, it'll bode very well for the movie.

Not only that, but it prematurely telegraphs his conflict and possible intentions to Palpatine. Just a crap decision all the way around. Someone on another site theorized it was done purely out of spite. Obviously one can't prove such a thing, but it kind of feels like it.
Precisely. I've said for years it would have better for Lucas to have simply remade episodes 4-6 (to match his vision of the prequels) instead of messing with the originals.
If he would simply release the originals at the quality level of every other current DVD and Bluray release, I would be happier than a pig in mud.
Buncha freakin' whiners when it comes to Lucas, man. I left cause of this, and i see things haven't changed a bit. Lucas could announce episodes 7, 8, and 9 tomorrow as a suprise, and everyone here would be like...noooooos!!! Dont direct it! He sucks! I see a world with Star Wars 78& 9, written by George Lucas.....Directed by Micheal Bay. Come on. You know it'd be the shiznit. It would make trillions, you'd all go see it multiple times, then come back here and complain about it.
You've got some of the letters right, anyway.
And he's right, everyone here would go see it. Probably multiple times.

I thought the correct answer was
"I only bought the Blu Ray so I could have ESB in HD?"
