[OT] More George Lucas bashing.

[HoneyBadger]

You know, really, if you think about it, the original Star Wars was like Lucas taking us all on a two-week all-expenses-paid vacation to Hawaii, and it's fantastic, and then the prequils are like him inviting us all over to his house 20 years later and we're all like "this is kinda skanky compared to last time, George...".

It's not like he had to give us what we wanted-he did the first time and the second time he capitalized on it. I'm sure at this point he's more interested in his kids' future wealth and property than he is in his own, not to mention the employees of Lucas Arts. It's not like he's burning babies. We just have all decided that Star Wars belongs to the world, and legally (unfortunately) it doesn't...but it will someday.

I wonder if Lucas will come down as hard onthis one:

Oh I am sure he will once he finds out about this. Actually I read that he himself doesn't even know about many of these things and that it is the law firm that represents him going after these folks on his behalf and he has no knowledge of the action until someone says "Hey George look."

He might be a dark lord by nature, but I bet he isn't a micromanager.... or am I wrong?
