And we were all so starved for a new chapter that we refused to immediately entertain its true shortcomings. (As many other threads around here have attested.) Oy vey!

All of this reminds me of the chapter in "Empire Building" where it mentions how George went nuts and went into the editing room to do his edit of ESB, and it was so fast and incoherent, that the editors had to go back in and fix it.

Didn't Steven Spielberg suggest alternate editing for the finale of TPM? GL took his advice and re-edited it that way, then decided he liked it better the way he did it, so he changed it back to the original edit.
I wonder what the Spielberg edit was like. Better, probably. LOL
