We don't even know if Kurtz's alleged Jedi Treatment is even true and we won't until Rizner's book comes out.

He has already blasted some of the Kurtz hero worship out of the water with the empire book which proves Lucas had much more involvement than fans want to acknowledge.

Yes. We can't let what Lucas has become cloud our judgement on who he was. The man had a great talent for storytelling and filmmaking. Yes, he struggled with dialogue, but from what I have read a lot of the dialogue he wrote was not thrown away, but rather rewritten to be snappier. He was given credit as the writer of Star Wars, and rightly so.

You cannot compare the prequels with ROTJ. ROTJ, despite it's problems, had some of the best moments of the saga. Indeed, if Fisher and Ford were not in coma's during filming then it could have been on pair with the prior films - ewoks or no ewoks.
