He was also behind The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and I respect him for that.

If you were offered the chance to work on six Star Wars releases and a revolutionary television show would you turn it down even if you might find it difficult to control your boss' wacky ideas?

I have also heard, but haven't confirmed, that he was a proponent for the release of the OOT and would try to get Lucas to release it.

Hearing that changed my views on him (which were negative due to his work on the prequels and special editions), but, again, I don't have any sources but hearsay.
