"... passion and care that I've given the films over the years."

.....

But the passion and care is there, right?

lucas had a reputation for completely lacking passion and care for filmmaking going back at least 30 years - for about 15 of those it was a pretty well-kept secret.

kinda perplexed about kathleen kennedy. i thought she already had her own company with husband frank marshall? and she was branching out to producing other films, so she wasn't just a the luckiest produce in the world who had spielberg as a director. wonder why she would take this. Maybe the article explains, but i refuse to read another 'interview'.

I'd be curious if other people turned this gig down.

doesn't matter. No OOT, expect nothing to change. wouldn't surprise me if it ended up that was part of the deal.
