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.

I believe it does. He would be making it to people who like, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't get bashed for it. I mean, Red Tails already showed that (and again, I'm not talking about film critics).

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.

If criticizing the personality of the creator implies an offense, I disagree.

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.

I've read that for some time. I don't refuse to acknoledge that people have their reasons to criticize the man, but what I argue is that saying he was referring to critics when he said "Why would I make any more, when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?" is an assumption. Because it is. There is nothing there that says he's referring to critics. You may think so, but that's only an assumption.
