I love how on topic this has remained.

In all honesty, as much as his reluctance to release the original versions irks me, this guy was responsible for Star Wars and Indiana Jones. He kind of shaped my childhood. I find it really difficult to hate him because of that.

Yes, he had a lot to do with Crystal Skull and the way Star Wars is now, but I really just can't hate him. Look at all the books, soundtracks, games, TV shows and awesomeness he's given me. Some of my favorite experiences with my Dad involved a movie George Lucas was involved in. My fondest memories of my friends are from going to see the prequels, or attending Star Wars Celebration, or playing the Star Wars RPG.

Honestly, George Lucas is one of my favorite people ever.

And King Conan would be freakin' sick.
