Starts around 14 minutes. As much as I wish he'd release a proper version of Star wars, it's tough for me to bash the guy too much. He's given me some of my very favorite films - American Graffiti, Star Wars77, & all four Indiana Jones films. He's given me so much more than he's kept from me.

He doesn't seem to sweat the intense passion of what must be millions of fans. I guess you have to let go to a certain extent once your creation becomes a permanent part of pop culture. Two quotes from the interview jumped out at me;

"It's fiction...you can either like it or not like it"

"I thought it was going to be one little movie"

Anyway, an interesting interview and Stewart is funny at the beginning.

Stewart was funny all the way through...

"My son's favorite Star Wars film is 'The Phantom Menace' and I keep telling him 'No, it's not'."

"That'll be the title of your autobiography - 'George Lucas: Ehhhh, whadaya gonna do?"
