@georgec: Oh, man that interview always cracks me up. That is exactly Goerge Lucas of today, he wants it to be a white house and no matter how many people who know what they're talking about tell him it should be a green house, he's gonna paint it white. When George was writing the script for the original SW, he'd show it to his friends and they'd tell him, George this and this is crap, you have to rewrite it and he listened to them and that's why SW was such a success, he didn't yet become arrogant and he was willing to listen to other people's opinion.

its a pitiful analogy anyways. or more apt comparison is a white house that was painted by having an 8 year old just throwing cans of paint at the house. lucas wants to play the artist card to excuse garbage storytelling, garbage characters, garbage dialog, garbage action sequences and garbage cgi.

lucas abhors hard work. His claims his idea of artistic freedom is being allowed to do whatever he wants to carry out his vision. what he really means is NOT having to do anything he doesn't feel like doing - as long as it makes money.
