Without George Lucas, there would be no Star Wars. Period. Does he get credit for the work of others? Yes. Does he revise history to make things seem more perfect? Absolutely. I think we all do though.

It look a lot of people doing their best work to create Star Wars. He didn’t do it all alone, but he had the vision that it could be done and made it all possible.

We are able to poke holes in his revisionist facade and peer deeper into what actually happened and see how significant the contributions of others really were. I think that’s important to do. Other people deserve their share of the spotlight too. I just think there’s room in Star Wars to credit multiple people as geniuses. Can’t we just elevate those others without tearing George down?

The only things he’s done I don’t like are the suppression of the original theatrical releases, and some of the things he said around the release of the GOUT were out of line. Other than that, I’m thankful he created something so important to me.

I’m glad the video emphasizing the work of the editors is out there. They likely played a larger role than they get credit for.

I still thank George too though.
