Interesting. It seems like Kurtz had a big influence on ANH and ESB. I have heard about this before, but it's always interesting to here his own words about it. I agree that Lucas needs more people to question him. We grow as people through working with others and argueing. No one man is flawless, and everyone needs another person to point out when something is bad. Lucas has too many yes-men now.

But did anyone else feel the interviewer kept asking too many pointed questions? Sometimes it felt like he just was intent on bashing Lucas beforehand and just wanted to get Kurtz to agree with him, rather than really letting Kurtz's opinions speak for themselves.
