But I also have the feeling that he may really believe he is making the films like he wants them to be. Maybe his opinion how the films need to be is changing over time as well, which makes things even less coherent, I suppose.At least on some level, I woudn't be surprised if all the little compromises and concenssions he made during the creation of the originals are slowly getting taken out, as far as he can do it. He doesn't consider that some of the compromises and the concessions he made have artistic value and helped the movies. He's a control freak. That's why the Prequels were CGI fests and the green/blue screen was the only set he cared for - it gave him the control he desired. At the same time, while he's a control freak, he doesn't seem to be a perfectionist - as he didn't seem to bother in getting really good takes from the actors, and really working out the dialog. Or maybe he really thinks that's how people should talk and act?</blockquote>
