GL is a businessman. I don't begrudge him for using the free market to line his pockets in the least. Yay capitalism...

On the other hand, I don't understand those who feel the need to protect him either. He's gonna die a billionaire all the same and thousands will line up to see his casket. He's gonna be just fine, trust me.

The man has brought almost a lifetime (so far) of joy into my life, protecting him from people who put him down all the time is the least I could do in return. I will always be grateful to Lucas for creating and maintaining Star Wars.

Also, I do feel bad for fans who didn't like much of what Lucas has done since the O-OT. Not that they are wrong in some way (taste is subjective), but just because I know they really would have liked to have enjoyed things more than they have. One of the reasons I think I ended up liking things as much as I have was due to me seeing other people's different points of view. I took a step back from the internet and realized that while every one of us had individual points of view, together, we loved and hated just about every second of the saga.

I went through a period of time where I really didn't like the Ewoks. But I got to TFN and found that there were other Star Wars fans who loved them. At first I found the idea preposterous, but when I read the reasons they loved them I saw what they were saying, it changed my mind, and now I enjoy ROTJ that much more because of it.

So as I seek out all the reasons to enjoy the Star Wars saga, I try to share them with others in case it happens to help.

I just figure, the movies are what the movies are. Enjoying them as much as we can is in our best interests as fans.

It's not like we are going to gain anything by not enjoying them.

That said, not everyone will enjoy them.
