People need to get the hell over it. McCallum was a line producer, a production manager. He didn't involve himself much (if at all) in the creative decisions of Star Wars. It was simply his job to keep the productions on schedule and on budget. Of course he was going to talk up Lucas and the movies in interviews. Exactly wtf was he supposed to say? "This movie is the biggest lump of crap on a stick without the stick since Grease 2 or Jaws 4 but you should still totally go see it"?
This. Seemed like a skilled producer because he produced some complicated productions. He was paid to execute George Lucas's vision with George Lucas's money.
