Its more than offensive when you consider before Lucas godhood he would sign fan items for free. Same with Spielberg and both were very approachable.

I got an item a starlog magazine he signed on star wars 10th anniversary.

It is real and authentic as the writer of the article for the magazine sold it to me.

This was right after Lucas had done the classic star wars trilogy,and the first two Indiana Jones pictures. At the height of his powers before he destroyed star wars and indiana jones in a 9 year span of time from 1999-2008.

The pre CGI is king Lucas. When he was a good filmmaker and not pissing off fans of the oot.

You cannot piss off your most vocal and ardent supporters and the ones who supported you from day one and get anything but flack in the fan community. And all he had to do to alleviate it was release a decent anamorphic release of the oot on DVD, but no.
