Do you think they do this just to piss off the fans for the hell of it or do you think they really believed it was a great movie?


If Lucas had done it like he did the prequels, I would tend to think he was too oblivious to realize how big a piece of $hit it was.

However, Spielberg, with Frank Marshall producing, made KOTCS and I have to believe they knew it was terrible, the money was spent and the movie had to be released. Speilberg tends to direct quality products (A.I. notwithstanding), and I suspect he realized this wasn't it.

He knows:

quote:

“George is in charge of breaking the stories. He's done it on all four movies. Whether I like the stories or not, George has broken all the stories." Elaborating on that implied dissent, Spielberg discussed the last time Lucas "broke a story," really shattering it into a million pieces: “I sympathize with people who didn't like the MacGuffin because I never liked the MacGuffin,” Spielberg says of Crystal Skull, explaining, “George and I had big arguments about the MacGuffin. I didn't want these things to be either aliens or inter-dimensional beings. But I am loyal to my best friend. When he writes a story he believes in—even if I don't believe in it—I'm going to shoot the movie the way George envisioned it." (However, he does add that you shouldn’t blame Lucas for the infamous “nuked the fridge” scene: “That was my silly idea,” Spielberg says, adding that he’s “proud of the way “nuked the fridge” has joined “jumped the shark” in the pop culture lexicon.)
