You_Too said:The part where George says he didn't "experience" Star Wars like everyone else going to the cinema knowing nothing about it, made me think that's gotta be one big reason why he doesn't understand the importance of preserving the originals.

Probably, and yet it's pretty feeble and narcissistic considering all the other directors with major hits from the last 70 years. The ones who have grasped the radical concept of not telling supporters and preservationists to fuck off just fine.
