Of course GL is the got-to guy for these movies. He exchanged a significant pay-rise for the rights to all merchandise, including the movie rights.....
This is where we get to see the cracks in the system GL worked so hard to bring back to films. I mean, the big studios are more willing to listen to the fans and then release things that they feel the fans would want. Gl just goes on about how these films aren't complete yet. The way he's tinkering with them they never will be....
That is what this is all about, I mean he was a visionary director but he has only directed four times since our '77 favourite. As far as the behind the scenes books and programmes tell, he isn't really at home in the director's chair. Maybe he should spend more time writing since that does seem to be something he is really good at.
GL is basically a victim of his own succes, maybe sometime he will admit it and settle down on these films.

Until then we will have plenty to rip at him....
