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.

I love History of Star Wars, but I'm afraid that would count as "tl;dr" to a lot of people these days.  I guess I'm talking more about making a "fact sheet".

Maybe I'll try slapping something together as an example if I can find the time.
