Lucas made a gorgeous 7 hour long movie for children about how entitlement and fear of loss turns good people into fascists, and did it while spearheading nearly every technical sea change in modern filmmaking of the past 30 years.

I love that quote. Definitely the most postive assessment of the prequel trilogy I’ve seen.

I still think there were plenty of problems with the prequel trilogy, but you can’t fault Lucas for his ambition.
