I heard that there are several upset people out there because Whitta dislikes the SE and PT and how can we expect him to bring respect to Star Wars if he doesn't respect Lucas.

I laughed and laughed.

Yeah, I've been reading TFN forums & there's stupid shit like this all over the place.

Listened to an episode of Rebel Force Radio or something where they spent the entire second half of the episode just blasting Whitta, saying he wouldn't be talking shit would and kiss Lucas' feet if they were in the same room, and why would they hire someone who doesn't respect Star Wars or Lucas.

They acted like he was going to come in and direct a purposefully shit movie to covertly destroy the franchise, and that he was deleting his old Lucas-bashing tweets to cover his ass, like Lucasfilm hired him without knowing he said all that.

Please. Just get off your high-horses Prequel lovers. They knew he said this stuff and they probably hired him because of it. It's like they just don't understand that the Prequels and the Special Editions just suck and the majority of people did not like them and now Lucasfilm is trying to right some of the wrongs that happened in the past decade.
