From Slashfilm:
On March 3, 1988, George Lucas was one of those filmmakers who spoke in front of Congress. The same George Lucas who, in the two decades since, has continually tinkered with his signature Star Wars films from the Special Editions through the prequels and right up to the Blu-rays, which caused massive mainstream controversy this due to new changes including a digital Yoda and Darth Vader’s new dialogue. But on that day, 23 years ago, Lucas delivered a rousing speech that condemned exactly what he’d end up doing himself.
In 2012, George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney for billions of dollars. In a new book, he reveals why...beyond those billions of dollars, we mean.
If George Lucas had his way, Leia Organa would have been the main character of the Star Wars sequels. Luke would still die a hermit, though.

The Times They Are a-Changin
I really don't like George Lucas now. He lost all of his talent after the 80s...
This picture sums up half of my grievance with his latest films but it's also the story that disappoints me too:

So basically unlike everyone else in existence , he shouldnt be allowed to change his mind , and have everything he said at fixed points in past times , thrown against his current self ?
Wonder who would measure up properly with that kind of scrutiny .
