Why did SW deserve this?

No matter what we do, Lucas will always be stacked against us. He has more money, more yesmen, more sympathy in the media than we do. It's checkmate, so let's stop huffing the gasoline.

He has comitted The greatest atrocity in film history. This is so grevious a crime that I feel that the whole medium of film should be destroyed if it should come to pass that SW, ESB, and ROTJ are allowed to be remorselessly destroyed by it's own creator.

Makes me cynical about life.

PS I know this is hyperbolic
