Heck, I'm not a liar, and any statements I might make about my intentions a quarter century ago should not be trusted either.
In any event, though I myself am perfectly accepting of other people's opinions, I am NOT accepting of art revisionism.
BTW, just because laws are on the books does not make them just. Copyright laws are onerous and, imo, completely unjust. Star Wars is - in my book - far less "owned" by Mr. Lucas than by the public. That makes him a vandal in my book. Add in liar, and I don't have a picture of a good man at all.
Then, of course, there's that neck.
