[QUOTE="Jeremy Ackerman-Yost, post: 2301093, member: 4720"] It's not trying very hard to do so :) but your point is taken. I'm sort of surprised that I've turned into the Lucas-defense squad. I've actually got extensive thoughts on how I would do a total rewrite of I and II (despite enjoying them for the most part). But it sometimes seems like the man can NOT get a break anymore. He had the audacity to not live up to impossible expectations, and so people who used to praise him as the God of Cinema insist on picking him apart at every opportunity. It strikes me as somewhat unfair. When [i]the Godfather, part III[/i] sucked flying monkey poo compared to the first two, people didn't accuse Coppola of metaphoric rape and tear into his films, his hairstyle, and his personal habits. I'm not sure what Lucas did to earn such ire. EDIT: Not that I'm accusing anyone specifically here of such ire. The internet in general, however, has a notable odor of bile lately. [/QUOTE]
