His rather advanced state of knowledge about all of this alone shows that he does keep tabs on all of these things.

you said a lot of things in your last couple posts that I agree with and have also said at one point. But this deserves special mention. For someone who claims to not care or pay attention to what critics say, lucas seems quite knowledgeable of what they (people who criticize the movies) are saying. im not sure if even nixon was as thinned-skinned.

and in the docs and books, he is blathers about critics, movie goers feelings, box office returns, 'marketers', 'studio suits'. of course, most of the time he is doing it to pre-emptively frame an argument for the apologists and also to test the sycophancy of his followers.

so he says 'everyone' yells at him and calls him a terrible person. well lucas, you are profoundly childish, lazy and you lie just about everytime you open your mouth. not really traits you'd find in someone thats on the level.
