When someone reaches the financial status of George Lucas, the people who work under them tend to hide their true opinions about their work. They all become "yes-men" in a way. Some of the ideas for the PT were truly questionable, but nobody spoke up. I will give George Lucas credit for following his vision, wherever it leads him, but he needs to realize that not everyone will understand or appreciate that vision.

You reminded me of something with that. Anyone here in the UK watch Top Gear last week when Ewan McGregor was on the show. Jeremy Clarkson asks him what it was like to be Obi Wan and be in the new films, and Ewan responds in a totally apologetic way, half implying that he doesn't value the new films at all compared to the OT. You'd think he would have mentioned something a little earlier to Mr Lucas (say while filming EP1) instead of sticking it out for over 6 years and 3 films. Oh well, case of "keep yer mouth shut and keep raking in the money".
