Does George even read his own stuff?

I got this quote off of the website nohandluke suggested, and this quote by Kershner is the best description of the PT I have ever heard.

"The thing that you learn in directing is that no matter how complex the shooting, you have to remain sensitive to the people around you or the machine will ultimately take over. If you don't keep in mind the essential humanity of it all, technique will dominate. Then, suddenly, all you've got are technically fine shots, technically fine performances, a story being told but with something lacking, something that is mysterious and indefinable. What is really lacking is someone guiding the mechanism, the ghost in the machine."

Judging by ESB & ROTJ original box office gross, here is why Lucas started to change

Remember when everyone hated Return of the Jedi?
Time
I used to not be able to stand watching ESB. I always used to think it was boring because a major part of the movie was Luke traning on a boring swamp planet. I thought ROTJ was the best because it had action and furry midgets kicking ass. But now ESB means so much more to me. It has humor, romance, suspense, and action and that makes ESB hold up against the test of time. Oh, I can't believe that I used to hate ESB.
