Therefore basing your ideas on George’s vision is impossible as well, because (apart from certain very core elements) he never had a solid and stable vision in the first place. So, the better thing you can do to enjoy Star Wars without going crazy is ignoring George’s opinions (unless some of them make sense to you) and judging everything based on a purely Death of the Author point of view.

I don’t enjoy things in Star Wars based on whether it was Lucas’ vision or not. I just like the interpretation that Anakin’s fall was not the Jedi’s fault because I think it makes Vader a stronger villain.

But I also much prefer the Disney Canon version of Vader in which he’s even more powerful then Sidious and didn’t lose potential. That completely goes against Lucas’ view of Vader. The 2017 Marvel Vader comics are my favorite Star Wars media besides the original trilogy. I don’t even really like the Prequels as much as I used to, anymore, besides ROTS and some parts of TPM.

Judging what you enjoy and don’t enjoy based on who created it is dumb. Enjoy whatever you want.
