I was thinking about this just now when I was outside walking my dog. I do agree with Lucas's principle that the artist should be in control of his films rather than the studio or a corporation. I understand why he wants control. I understood why he fought tooth and nail to get the rights to the first movie away from 20th Century Fox. He has a great amount of drive when it comes to his work. What George lacks, though, and lacks a significant amount of, is responsibility. He does not at all act with the proper attitude of a filmmaker. I believe it's an artist's right to be in control of his films, but all he has done, time and time again, is abuse that right, making completely irresponsible decisions. He has proven time and time again that he does not deserve to have the right that he worked so hard to attain. Hopefully the next generation, in light of all of his arrogance and screw-ups, doesn't decide that it would simply be better for the studios and other outside forces to edit and cut the film without any imput from the director, completely ruining the film's artistic vision, simply because George Lucas was too greedy to use his power responsibly!
