The "quanity issue" Lucas brought up in the Variety article has nothing to do with sacrificing quality. It's all about, as he says, spending 200 million on 50 or 60 small projects instead of one feature, length film. It makes perfect business sense, FOR LUCASFILM. That's the key to the article. Because of the size of the company, it makes perfect sense to go small. He doesn't have countless catelog titles to sell on DVD like the studios have. He has one major one, Star Wars. His other is Indiana Jones that he has to share with Spielberg. That's all Lucasfilm has.

Plus, out of those 50 or 60 projects, you'll likely get at least 5 to 10 quality projects out of it, just like the industry is today. From year to year, we may get 20 really great quality films out of 200 films released in a year.

What I don't like about the article, eventhough he's probably going to be right, is the move to VOD and downloadable media. It seems he's very high on that and the industry seems to be wanting that as well, even with birth of HD media. And most of that has to do with controlling the product because of piracy. I can understand that but I just prefer to get the hard media every Tuesday that we're accustom too. I don't want there to be a day were I have to wait 30 minutes to an hour to download a film on to a hard drive....and I haven't even talked about the quality issues with going this route.
