You know...I was thinking on this whole artistic vision thing a bit. I think it's total bullshit. I think the whole Star Wars franchise exists now simply to make money. I know...no surprise there, right? But look at how the other LFL stuff is handled.

The Indy movies are on DVD, but that's cuz Spielberg has a stake in them. I don't think the handling of the Indy movies is solely by LFL. Spielberg has some say, that's for sure. So we get them on DVD.

The Young Indy series is a different matter. It's been stated by McCallum that the series is finished, but they aren't releasing it until Indy 4 comes out. Why the hell are they doing that? When you finish work on a DVD release, it only makes sense to put it out there. Lucas never does that. There ALWAYS has to be some kind of BIG event tied with the release of a LFL product. It's like there's some kind of marketing strategy for the whole thing. Release something in the fall in preparation for something big in the Spring. This has happened a few times already with the Clone Wars, Episode 3, the SE DVDs and so forth, not to mention the video game they always push at the same time.
This is all carefully thought out to bring in maximum dollars.

Makes me think that Lucas just made the prequels simply to put the franchise in the spotlight again and now he's not going to let it go until he milks it for all it's worth. And I'm more likely to believe that the SEs exist so he can screw his ex-wife out of money.

I don't think this guy is an artist at all. He's just another motherfucker selling out to make a shitload of money. Not like he needed it though...or maybe he did. All those companies have to cost a lot to run.....
