This just proves what an asshole Lucas really is.
That was actually the very first thought I had. He seems to love that he can be a dick and his devoted TFNers will still hang on his every word and buy every product he releases, no matter how poor the quality, or how many times he's already sold it to them. It's as though he really enjoys gas lighting his followers. By far, the strangest director\fan relationship I've ever seen.
