The thing about Howard was that it deliberately set out to have a B-Movie feel, but the hype around it and high concept sort of overshadowed the fact that it was supposed to be cheesy fun - that got lost on audiences and critics who ripped it a new one.

Also, they were just laying in wait, as George Lucas was still this golden boy that had at least 5 movies in the top ten all time blockbuster list, and they were whiffing for the first scent of failure so they could pounce.
