Honestly, I often wonder what happened to ol' George. When I was a kid I used to think he was one of the greatest men that ever lived. Now I have very little respect for him. Now he seems like such a gimboit. With every interview he seems to contradict things he has said in the past. Makes me wonder if he hit his head sometime an lost his creativity along with all he used to stand for. His ideas used to be so fantastic, a used, worn out galaxy. It gave the movies such a feel, now it has all been blasted to hell. Now all I can think of are stupid incidents like them having to go back and re-film the scene where Obi-Wan picks up Anakin's sabre, because they "kinda forgot he gives it to Luke in the next movie." Another annoying thing is how many people will now say that the star wars movies were always crap but people always loved them anyway. Maybe my view is tainted by growing up with them, after all I didn't even realize how lame Ewoks were until I was 14, but it seems to me that before 1999 (or perhaps 1997) I had never heard too many people who had actually sat down and watched the things consider them to be crap. Even Ewan McGreger said that a star wars movie wouldn't be a star wars movie if it had good dialogue. In that case I don't think we should consider Star Wars or The Empire Strikes Back star wars movies because they have some awesome dialogue at parts.
