I think seller’s remorse is kicking in.

And not every space movie that came out in Star Wars’ wake was a bomb either.

Seller’s remorse for sure, coupled with the restored & non-Lucas direction being hugely popular, breaking records (and in record time), and a public who is now much more vocal about how terrible the prequels were. He’s also a megalomaniac who can no longer exercise his omnipotence. The casual and/or non-nerd fans of Star Wars are starting to see a side of him that we’ve known about for many years.

You’re also correct on his being off about space movies failing after Star Wars. Alien was an enormous success and launched a franchise. I’d also bet Star Wars had a great deal to do with the rebirth of the Star Trek franchise, for which his company handled the special effects by the way.

He’s really showing how petty we’ve always know him to be. I guess his next move will be a sequel to his middle finger to the fans t-shirt - “Han Shot First” …“I Shot A Star Wars Film First”.

People seem to forget lucas only directed ANH and the shitty prequels.
