First, I'm serious when I ask if there is some interview out there where Lucas genuinely comes off as an asshat. There isn't one linked in your original post, and the one you linked later in the thread really doesn't seem like a big deal to me. It's a pretty rational assessment: $300 mil difference between TPM and AotC when, as is pretty much unanimously agreed, AotC is the better movie. So Sith being an even better movie than AotC may not mean much. The only actual quotes in the article were:What I don't I really follow is the emotion of your response. Not only "everyone who makes movies," as Lucas says, but everyone who writes, composes etc. knows this feeling. It's almost as bad as that other feeling you have when you've finished something big: the feeling that you'll never be able to do anything like that again, the anxiety of the blank page. I of course hope you're right that RotS will be a sort of come-back for Star Wars, but Lucas may have a point if there are parents out there who won't take their kids to see it because of that extra 13. If I had kids it wouldn't stop me, but the world is full of weird people.Oh, and the second thing: of course it's your opinion, but this is a messageboard! Posting an opinion here is an implicit invitation for some eager gamer to pounce on it.I think a far more interesting discussion would be about how amazingly lame our media ratings systems are  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> .Hey now, I never said I liked TPM  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> .I completely agree with you that there's no reason the slightly higher level of violence should keep people away, but that doesn't mean it won't. Don't get me wrong, because I don't hold Lucas in super high regard or anything. To me all the things we talk about on this board are nothing but entertainment--none of it is sacred. Well, maybe except Dune. I likes me some Dune  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> .</blockquote>
