well, the media doesn't portray lucas as the sole "genius" behind the films...lucas does. BIG difference. there's a reason all the major media pieces on lucas are for the most part gushing: that's how you get access. the LFL PR machine is amazing at using access to control the message. always has been.
also, i don't specifically know that lucas was the man who wrote the unused "i love you, too" response...could have just as easily been Kasdan or Leigh Brackett, right? either way, i'm with kersh: i don't see lucas letting that change go by.
