Exactly, it's obvious georgec was talking about the critics of the prequels and that interview zombie cited came to my mind almost instantly and I believe that what georgec says is right, George did basically say in the NYT interview that he wouldn't make any more STAR WARS movies, because people were criticising the prequels.
No, and I'll post the full quote:
“Why would I make any more,” Lucas says of the “Star Wars” movies, “when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?”
It has nothing to do with film critics.
