What's ironic is we built his "empire" (pun intended) so he can have that creative freedom he enjoys. If he was still trying to ride THX and American Graffiti (both good movies, but not hugely popular) he'd be an afterthought by now. He wouldn't have the money or the power he has now. To ignore the fans. Well, its crap. It's like a primadonna athlete that was amazing and then chastises his fans, then bitches there's a disconnect. Screw Lucas. Really. The technology is getting better with fan edits, fan fiction and fan films...what he screwed up we'll correct and now it will be by the fans for the fans. What he doesn't realize is it was ours all along. We made it great, we made it possible to do a trilogy, we made it pop culture. It has grown in to a worldwide phenomenon because of of us. He sucks and I am tired of his attitude.
