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)

Well, being one of those people, I can assure you if he was to make those films, he wouldn't be making them for me or others like me, he'd be making them for you and others like you, so that argument doesn't stand IMO.

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.

Well, IMO a good critic not only says that something is bad but also looks for a reason why it's bad and if the reason is the personality of the creator, then the critics are doing their job, if they point it out.

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.

It seems to me that you get this impression because you don't have all the information, or refuse to acknowledge it and therefore people criticizing Lucas seem like they base it on "assumptions" where in reality, they simply have more information than you do. I recommend reading The Secret History of SW.
