you forgot the quote where he says fans wanted star wars to be like the matrix ;) these are all just his trademark cop-outs.
copouts, excuses, laziness, selfishness, deceit, dishonesty, greed, incompetance, god complex and cult of personality.

I wonder if we should have some sort of well-sourced, bulletproof rebuttal to point people to with regard to George's talking points and fallacies. So many people take him at face value. It's bad enough when Lucas fanboys believe the revisionism, but it's especially troubling when journalists do it.

Something brief akin to a FAQ that dispells the myths, but not so dense that people will go "tl;dr".

Secret History of Star Wars is a good start. It wouldn't be easy but it can be done - they guy has done more 'interviews' than every filmmaker in history combined.

In one of the 70s articles, he said SW was for 14 year olds. that would conflict with what he says now about star wars being for little kids. unless you think 7 year olds and 14 year olds are the same.

its funny he is saying he is improving his movies with technology. How come he never improves Howard The Duck? the big problem with that movie was the duck suit looked fake - why not CGI it?

oh snap...I forgot, a re-release of howard the duck wouldn't make any money. its not a cash cow that you can just milk, and milk and milk and milk and milk...
