Are we now excusing any poor decison of Lucas as being brave or innovative?

Like I already said: we can be mad at Lucas for the SE, for the PT, for not letting us get high quality GOUT, for being a very lazy producer (most of what he produced is very bad… 2 Indiana Jones movies included), for destroying the careers of talented people (Marcia Lucas, Gary Kurtz…), etc. But we can’t argue the guy is one of the most important filmmakers of the past decades, like James Cameron, Peter Jackson, Guillermo Del Toro, David Fincher, Steven Spielberg.

Who’s talking about excusing anything ?

You know, I like RotS and the look of RotS, but I don’t like many narrative decisions about it as well as many artistic decisions (like using only the head of Temuera Morrison placed on CGI clone troopers bodies: I don’t think it was a good decision at all ! I wish he had filmed practical troopers, at least for the close ups, but he didn’t. And I believe he took the less confortable decision when he did that !).
