Think of it this way, it's possible that he heard what he wanted to hear, or he just plain didn't hear the conversation the way Lucas intended it. It's plausible since he got the rest of the story wrong about the tv series. That's why I don't necessarily believe Lucas said what he's quoted as saying. Could he have said exactly that? Sure, but this reporter's accuracy makes me sceptical.

You guys don't know WHAT Lucas said. That guy quoted him, but unless you hear it on a video or audio recording, I'd take it with a grain of salt. The guy could easily be interpreting whatever Lucas actually said.

I don't understand why he would be misquoted, when the reporters says in the previous paragraph that Lucas was one of his favorite people and he was a genius, what axe would he have to grind with Lucas?

Why can't people accept that he said it, and in some ways I agree with him, cause I think most Comic Book movies are silly, and there really isn't much story there, but in the same respect, Lucas did the same shit with the PT movies, and that is the whole irony of the quote! He is pretty much saying that the movie lacks any serious depth to it, and shouldn't be taken too seriously, and again I agree, but when we had a trilogy by Lucas that featured Jar Jar Binks, Jake Lloyd, Anakin/Padme AOTC romance, and Padme losing the will to live, I think Lucas should rename the backstory to the OT, "The Silly Trilogy."
