Dude I am not worshiping him. I am just say no George no Star Wars, No Indy, No Industrial Light and Magic, Lucas Arts, and on and on. Many great people helped with the process but he started it, and I am really grateful to him for that. I agree with people who say he is stubborn and over did the prequels and changes his mind a lot. I personally hated the Han shot first, and especially the terribly badly executed Hayden-head, and even if it had been executed correctly it made no sense. But give the guy a break, and I hate to say it but you take it too personally when it is said, "he baiting us and making fun of us", I just don't see it. He wanted to change something he felt was a distraction, but what he doesn't realize is it was more a personal distraction to him not the fans. That doesn't make him the bad guy destroying people’s childhood like some people make him out to be.

Personally I think someone who says stuff like that invites to be criticized you are taking this whole thing way to personal. When you say he better get it right or else, or else what, the most you can do is not buy the product. I can understand you frustration but you don’t even know that it is going to be bad and is sounds like you are making threats. Then when I hear some people say stuff like Lucas is an ass, or he is evil or stuff to that level of anger, it is upsetting because I am a member of this site and I don’t want to be associated with vitriol like that, and I don’t want the site to be thought of that way ether frankly. At the most you could say he ignored us, but he didn't personally set out to piss us off. I can understand people being annoyed that he didn't consider our feelings but that is also his right, and we have a right to then not bother to buy the product he releases and complain and ask for the original. This site was created specifically for us to give voice to our frustrations, but it undermines our credibility and our argument to say hateful things. Eventually no one will listen and people who are on our side will tune us out. (By the way I am not saying this to anyone in particular because I don’t even know who said stuff like that I only know I have read a lot of it lately.) Plus we look like idiots when we finally get some progress on this and we all start complaining before we even see if it what we want or not.

Now the guy is going to give us the product that we have asked for so actually he has heard our issue and is trying to accommodate us, to me that make it all fine. What I don't understand is when people make this into a personal slight. Like Abe Vigoda said it's was always business never personal.
