why he does it... (Lucas destroying his own creation)

success can certainly get to our heads thats for sure! in the beginning we crave it and will do anything to accomplish what we truly believe in, but once you have the fame and fortune were do you go from there? alot of ppl self-destruct and (almost) ruin what got them there in the first place! as an artist who makes music or film it should be youre duty to sustain your beliefs and your art. think about the psychological impact of being famous, so many ppl getting inside your head, critisizing your every word and action. for me this is lucas' problem, he wants to end his success and cut himself from his millions of fans and live the quiet family life and forget about star wars.

this may have been mentioned before but here is my theory:

star wars has become such an obsessive phenomenon that the very ppl who became rich and famous from it actually despise it now. i remember an interview with carrie fisher a few years ago and she was pissed off with fanatics coming up to her and worshipping her like a real princess leia. they had no idea the power these films would have. i think the destruction of the original cuts and the refusal to release them along with the painfully bad new films is a deliberate attempt by lucas to destroy his own creation and therefore putting an end to our obsessive behaviour.
