Lucas Says That Power-Hungry Execs Hurt Moviemaking
Star Wars creator George Lucas has complained that Hollywood continues to operate under the "Thalberg Syndrome," a reference to Irving Thalberg, the all-powerful studio executive who virtually controlled virtually every movie made at MGM in the 1930s. In an interview with Britain's Guardian newspaper, Lucas remarked that the tendency of middle managers to interpose themselves into productions has resulted in the film industry "making hugely inefficient movies for great amounts of money and they aren't creatively very interesting. Any studio you go to, you're going to find 30 executives working on your picture."
“You know, when you think about it, the Ewoks probably just crap over the sides of their tree-huts.”

perhaps if Lucas was able to accept a little constructive input/criticism, the prequals might have been a lot better.

A good artist ignores his critices.
Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!
