There are photos and the text is color coded to differentiate between quotes and analysis. Hope you enjoy it because these quotes are from the mouths of the horses, so to speak.

Great research, and a great read too, I highly recommend anyone here to read it. The scary thing is your analysis of a SW fan and the downward spiral of disrespect for Lucas is an exact timeline I started in a thread here right after the non-anamorphic debacle was announced.

"Roller coaster ride" is a such an ironic phrase, and I 100% believe that Lucas thinks that way. ESB is so not all George Lucas, and someone has to start calling on him for this, because he gets too much credit as creator sometimes of that movie. I will bow to him for SW '77, cause that was all him, but ESB is mostly Kershs baby, and ROTJ, TPM, AOTC, and ROTS are dense 'roller coaster ride' movies in one way or another.

Luckily ROTJ has Luke, Leia, and Han, so it will always be better than the PT.
