On a different note, I have three questions regarding my original post that no one has addressed:
Is it possible the GL cheated his way through USC? (unlikely)
Did GL show sociopathic behavior as a child? (up in the air)
Is the stature of the OT irreparable damaged by a new generation of critics who grew up with the PT and new knowledge of Lucas, and/or saw the OT in a new light? (maybe)
This last question is more important, because we actually might be the only people left who like SW anymore.
