I don't think ricar forgot that scene, but there's a wonderful example. Star Wars was a wonderful fluke for GL, and he did the right thing -- he let someoen better than himself take the reins for sequels. But somewhere down the line, it all got too big for him. He figured we'd eat it up no matter what, and that, hey, if he did it all, he doesn't have to pay someoen else to do it. Well, he was right. People still eat it up, but he disenfranchised so many fans in the process. Someday Star Wars will finally die (or GL will), and I think we'll all be better for it.
