yeh I just don't like the whole group writing, they have their policies, lucas was a visionary at least, he wanted HIS thing and gave a lot to see it happen, I watched a documentary on the SW franchise, you can see him growing old with it and getting a goose neck from all the ordering around most likely, he also layed the foundations of 3D in general with ILM at the spearfront practical effects, 3D, everything he really pushed the envelope, games, .. I'd recommend you to check Alejandro Jodorovski, there is a great movie on his DUNE, which we never saw, buuut we have aliens :| anyways that's it from me, there are a lot of fans of the original SW's I've seen many good fan flicks

I hope you give it your best, good luck :)
