His master plan is: In 100 years, people will see the special editions like the only Star Wars and no one will remember the first versions (this has already begun). This is egomaniac. He actualy see himself still controlling SW after his death.... that is sad to think about. I mean for him.
As much as Star Wars will always be considered like a turn in movie history for his special effects and the cultural phenomenon; I'm sure in 100 or 200 years people will not look at Star Wars with same eyes as the early fans of the OT. They will have new movies, or piece of entertainment, or art form to care about. I have a news for you, Lucas: Star Wars will not make you immortal. You will just be a name on a list in 200 years ( a bigger list than most of us, but just a list anyway). And SW will be taken for what it is: a cultural phenomenon of the end of the 20th century. Not of the 21th.
Why not giving the UOT to the only people who ever care about it?
Us. And NOW.
