When I watch the despecialized I don’t see anything at all wrong. I never would have changed a thing. If Lucas were a better filmmaker he would have concentrated on making more movies instead of fiddling with the past. He wasn’t even confident enough to write the prequels without R2 and 3PO wedged in and ruining continuity.
I love the guy for creating the best movie universe ever, but I’m also frustrated at what he did to it later on.
Then he whined and said he wanted to make experimental cinema verite. Well you had more money than any other independent filmmaker ever. What was stopping you?
