    What a great guy he ruined e.t. and Star wars with remakes… Made the movie Howard the Duck. These are all basically war crimes.

      He didn’t direct E.T. or remade it and didn’t remake any of the Star Wars movies. And people are really going to hold Howard the Duck as a personally defining misdeed, aren’t they (ignoring that his first associated movie was American Graffiti)? The Star Wars prequels didn’t really ruin anything, they just added to it in a way that wasn’t as interesting as hoped.

      Disney, who bought it all, was the one who made the Star Wars sequels (episodes 7, 8, and 9), that and the various TV series, all of which milked opportunities that did not technically exist, which might be indicated in the fact that the sequels looked almost identical to the original trilogy plot-wise. The thing to remember here is George Lucas is willing to go against his better judgment and his own indulgence so-to-speak to prevent further collapse.

      And this is coming from someone who didn’t care for any of the movies.

        My bad E.T. was Steven Spielberg. They worked so closely I get confused, for example the abomination Indiana Jones “The crystal skull” was directed by S.S. but based on a story by G.L. I didn’t care for the remasters of the original Star wars trilogy. Is it because it changed my nostalgia? Highly possible, but han shot first lol. I thought the sequels were cheesy kids movies, but I understand they weren’t made for me so I’m not gonna judge.

          By that logic, why judge any of them? They weren’t made for the people who didn’t like them, right?

            That’s called being a good and tolerant person, letting kids like kids movies. Just like Lemmy, do I block communities absolutely, do I down vote them, no let people like what they like.

              That’s different from judging someone or their present decision-making based on them or saying interest in them has objectively negative implications.
