You know, people need to come half way. There's those who want to be entertained, then there are those whose job is to actually entertain. Lucas didn't do his job properly.

You know, if I took "Barney" and "The Godfather"---from "a certain point of view"--I can make them fit nicely.

I agree. If he was so "concerned" about Padme and her well-being--would the dork have choked her in the first place. Retarded.

I think that he is just not the best public speaker, and with the way the media tends to present things out of context, he is largely just misunderstood.

OOOH!!! So, that's why the PT's don't make any sense and we have to fabricate and spin half the stuff that's in it to make it work plot-wise. Nobody, not the actors, not the special effects guys, understood him. Got it.

No wonder we don't get his 'vision.' He just wasn't able to completely convey it properly due to the inability to speak eloquently. This would be why the dialogue sucks, too. We just didn't read Lucas' mind...haha.

I'm curious, have you made any films yourself?

This is one of the most fallacious arguments around. Since you haven't made a film yourself (I really doubt you have), do you have capacity to claim the PT's are great movies? Don't think so. We are on even battlefield here. People criticize politicians, etc. all the time, and have any of them held office? So they don't have the right to do so? Of course, they do. So you're little claim of, "If you haven't made a movie, you don't have the right to criticize it" falls in deaf ears.

George Lucas: I’m the one who has to take responsibility for it. I’m the one who has to have everybody throw rocks at me all the time, so at least if they’re going to throw rocks at me, they’re going to throw rocks at me for something I love rather than something I think is not very good, or at least something I think is not finished.

Great quote. Makes me laugh. But what does he mean by "love" that's what I want to know? He loves to make Han look like a wuss? He loves to add CGI that he has to replace with better CGI only a few years later? He loves to tinker and continue to tinker and fuss and muss continually? Just what does he love about it? If he loved the story, he'd would have adhered to the story precepts he put in ANH. So, it can't be that. He just loves the tinkering around and futzing.

He has always suffered the slings and arrows of his critics.

Does that mean we should stop? No.

He did give the OT the respect it deserves.... he finished it the way he wanted to. If you don't like it, tough titties.... it isn't yours.

Well, then Lucas will continue to deservedly suffer the slings and arrows of critics who know it can be done better. Lucas is a public figure and we have every right to question his choices. If we can question the choices of political figures, etc., we can question Lucas, too. So, tough titties.

You may be right, but to me, trying and failing is better than not trying and failing.

"Do or do not.. there is no try."

No, Lucas doesn't "owe" us anything, but he does owe his first Star Wars movie the respect it deserves, especially in the context of cinema history, and for being the vessel which MADE HIM A FUCKING BILLIONAIRE!!! Geezus Christ, I don't care what he thinks of me or any other fan, but when he's not giving his own film the proper due it deserves, then he doesn't deserve my respect.
