The worst thing about that video is everyone nodding along and laughing while they grin and bear it. I really do wonder if anyone on those three films had the balls to say, "You know, George, that's not really a very good idea." at any point. I would assume not.
If you ever listen to the Director's Commentary on Attack of the Phantom (the Phantom Editor's edit of Episode II), there's a great part where he relays a LucasFilm anecdote he heard.
IIRC, apparently in one of Lucas's visits to the workers, one individual actually questioned something George said. George just kind of silently listened, and then things moved on. The next day, when the worker got to work, he noticed his parking space was now gone.
