I agree with this sentiment except I don't think Lucas is a complete hack....just a partial one. Don't know about the lazy part either. I think he just doesn't want to originals on a level playing field with the SEs. He doesn't want a balanced choice cuz he KNOWS people will pick the OOT over his SEs. That's proof of some kind of egomania.
