Sorry, but you say you've had enough of George's b/s? I've had enough of the endless negativity. I'm sure you think that his pledge to plough all that money into the education system is b/s too.
Look, he said it; it's been proven (and if you won't take it from George, I'm sure you'll take it from Kersh) so, whilst some of your gripes are well-founded I'm sure, I think you need to get a little perspective on things :)
I respect your passion as a fan and I'm sure it's that that fuels the bile and vitriol. So, I'm not taking issue with you personally, just some of the things you said in your post.
Oh please stop your 'I'm tired of you're negativity' when this is the first time I have actually addressed you in a post on this website.
As Zombie said, he probably 'consulted' some psych friend or even somebody in that field, but as always in SW-lore, it is exaggerated like they did research and conducted field studies.
There is no denying that Lucas lies constantly about the SW movies more then any director about their own series. And as a fan who was there in 1977, I see Lucas re-writing SW history with this "Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker' bullshit.
I will give you an example of someone humble about their directorial success. Zemeckis talks on Back to the Future commentary about how they never planned any sequels in 1985, and they sort of made it up as they went along. He could have done a Lucas and just said it was all planned from the beginning, but the guy doesn't rewrite Back to the Future history.
The bottom line is that I could make a list of Lucas lies in the past 13 years, and that is why I really don't take any value as to what he says NOW. You can call me angry, and that is fine with me, but I am just stating the facts, something that has been lost in the SW-world in the past 13 years.
