Bad ideas are bad ideas, regardless of whether they were thought up in 1972 or 1992. My fundamental views would remain unchanged, though I would respect 70's George a lot less knowing that he'd planned to rip his movies apart all along. I'd also count it nothing short of miraculous that the OT turned out as good as it did, but rethink my critical evaluation vis-a-vis the SE and PT? Not on your life; quality is a great deal more important to me than whether or not something was originally intended.
