Why? Because, and I'll be repeating myself here, if so, then there is no logical connection to making more SW films.

Why make films to people who say that I'm a terrible person? It seems to be a logical way of thinking to me. (not that I agree with it, though)

Also there is a difference between the critics (and I use the term in the broad sense of anyone making a critique publicly) making an intentionally offensive comments and GL taking offence at their comments, when they dare point out all the reasons why his new films are bad films

Indeed there is a difference. Critics wo don't like their movies are criticizing the movies, or his job, not him as a person (and if they do that, then they are not doing their job). And that's what he's saying.

and then putting it together with fans' online statements motivated by his constant lies and active efforts to change history, and making this comment.

Motivated by his lies, or by their personal tastes and assumptions? Because there are these people too, and by watching many online comments, that's what I see the most.

In the end, all we have is what he said in the article: "people who say what a terrible person he is". I see no connection to film critics (those whom he doesn't care about).
