Would that be the same Lucas who said he was finished tinkering with the OT when asked if we could expect more "special editions"? Or the Same Lucas who swore blind that Ewan McGregor would never be Obi-Wan? The same Lucas who said he originally envisioned 9 films? and then changed his story to 6, claiming 9 was a concoction of the media? The Same Lucas who claimed He made Han shoot first because he didn't want Han to come off as a cold blooded killer? The Same Lucas who then changed his story to Greedo was always supposed to shoot first, but an editing flub made it come out the way it did?

Yeah, I trust that Lucas, anythng he says is worthy of being taken seriously.
