[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 168083, member: 151"] Honestly? I'm of two minds. On the one hand, I think he's been hard pressed to truly read his fans for a long time, and with good reason. Fans can be a fickle, difficult lot, often maligning something they enjoy, even as they continue to enjoy it. I heard an awful lot of folks bad-mouth episode I (and for the record, I enjoyed it, but didn't think it was anything as amazing as the first film...but then, [i]there was no way it could be[/i]), but many still went to see it two, three and four times....even as they were complaining about it. I think Lucas took a lot of the criticism of Episode I to heart, and set out to make a better film, not just a better Star Wars film. Parts of Episode I are fantastic...the problem is that the whole was less than the sum of it's parts. Pod Races, Light Saber battles and Jedi Councils do not a whole film make. One should also point out that Lucas has never been considered a great director, to begin with. Yes, 'American Graffiti' is an excellent film. But 'Star Wars' is actually somewhat herky-jerky in it's direction. I consider Empire to be a much better [b]film[/b], the best of the entire series, in point of fact...and Lucas didn't direct that one. I also think that Lucas is a pragmatist and an excellent businessman. He wants to make a film people will want to see over and over again, and listens to his audience about what works and what didn't. Hopefully, he's learned his lesson. Only time will tell. [/QUOTE]
