On the plus side, when the prequels make fuck all and the OT make a shit load the truth about his two trilogies might finally hit Lucas.

This was exactly what I was thinking. I actually enjoy the prequels but I know the majority when they hear 3D Star Wars want ANH or ESB.

The fact that ep. 1 is getting the first release and that we'll have to wait years to see ANH or ESB, is finally showing me that Lucas has finally really lost it. I've held onto apologizing for him and continuing to watch clone wars. But this strategy is just insanity. He is avoiding production on the live action tv series because its going to cost too much, but will fund a 3D reproduction of ep. 1 which most people hate?

Of course those funds could go to ANH being full restored from 1977 as well which makes this all even worse.
