Because he is creatively bankrupt?

I truly wish that George Lucas would come to this board and see the sheer volume of threads with his name in the title and understand the pain he has caused an entire world.

More likely, George will pay somebody to hack in the database and he’ll rewrite our words. 😃

No thread about how badly Lucas screwed up Star Wars is complete without mentioning this epic review:
