I haven't read the whole thing but it's interesting how ultimately dumb the union thing was and how lucas should have just let it go, tolerated the DGA bullshit for one more movie. I really don't think Marquand, (a good guy but still a complete rookie) was hired to be a puppet, Lucas would not have been seeking out people like Lynch and Cronenberg if that's all he was after, but rather Marquand really was the best choice from an absurdly limited pool. The union dispute was just not worth hobbling yourself like that, but with GL it was like calling Marty Mcfly chicken. 

Having said that, these 3 books do make me want to just stop Monday-morning quarterbacking Lucas, including I-III, so trying to taper off, starting...now.
