I repeate once again: when I dropped the link I didn't consider it to be looked upon in the deserved/non-deserved fashion. I don't mind credentials at all, I don't watch all these Baftas, Oscars, Nobels etc. My intention was as stated: to make an attempt to draw attention on the site dedicated to the ORIGINAL TRILOGY on the part of members of this community to an opportunity to pay tribute in some minimal way to the man who directed one of the parts of the beloved Saga purely of human considerations. Everyone is free to sign or NOT this petition, that's all. I would sign alike petition regarding any former SW alumni.

Having not read the rest of your post, I will sign the petition for $10.
