Kasdan on the other hand challenges Lucas all the time

Well these conversations prove that the notion that prequels failed because no one challenged Lucas is wrong. It is pretty clear to me now that he always had it his way. Luckily in OT he had relatively great ideas as opposed to the prequels.

No, it reaffirms what we already knew, which is that Lucas got to have it all his way on ROTJ and the prequels.

Even though RotJ ended up the way George is proposing here doesn't mean that the end product isn't better for the disagreement.

Having a really bad idea, and getting called out for it, has the potential of being turned into a mostly bad idea. Not getting called out- less chance of that happening.

I think no-men like Kasdan helped make RotJ as good as it is- and his/their presence was sorely missed in the PT.
