I watched both videos, and I can’t stand either of them. One video follows from a trend, which takes the in my view valid criticisms of the prequels, but then uses those criticisms to create a narrative (which gained traction in the 2000s), that the OT was a success in spite of Lucas rather than because of him. The other would treat Lucas’ stool like they are nuggets of gold. My view is quite simple. Lucas was and is a creative genius, who in his early days tended to be more collaborative, and more open to criticism. However, even that Lucas could create a turd, like Howard the Duck. The Lucas that created the prequels initially wanted similar collaborations, but many of the people he approached turned him down, finding the task to create another Star Wars film too daunting. So, he did it himself, rusty has a was. Despite all of its flaws, and the fact that Lucas became too enamoured with the technology, TPM is still the most Star Wars prequel of them all in my view, and clearly a labour of love for Lucas. My theory is, that the wave of criticism, and hate, that followed TPM made Lucas dig in more, and he became more isolated, more controlling, and less receptive to criticism. To him fans demanding changes to the prequels were not much different from studios trying to meddle with his movies, and so that set the stage for Lucas sticking to his guns, and cemented Lucas’ refusal to release the OOT. That’s my theory anyway.
