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.

As GL is threatening to take his ball and go home, he seems to forget one thing. Star Wars was probably the most broadly well-liked movie in the history of....ever. Obviously nothing makes 100% of everybody happy but no movie may ever get that close again. And Raiders was probably very high on that list too. Add to that a good 17 years of unmatched loyalty and positivity, through Howard the duck, Ewok Adventures, Radioland, unheard of for a director. Not good enough! Not for the creepy new fans or their leader, L. Ron Flannel.
