I have a ton of respect for young George Lucas and what he accomplished in his early career: THX-1138, American Graffiti, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, legitimizing space opera and kick starting a brand-new wave of science fiction. But let's get real, the best thing he's done for the Star Wars franchise in nearly 30 years is selling it off to somebody else. The awfulness of ANH's special edition, the cinematic abortion that was the PT, and his role in dragging down the Indiana Jones franchise, as well, aren't things that just go away.
