Interesting article.

No one has more respect for what Lucas has accomplished than I do.

That said, I don't think it comes as news to any of us that Lucas stumbled creatively following the release of Empire.

I've gotten to know Richard Edlund socially over the last couple of years, and his take on Lucas/ Star Wars is essentially the same as Kurtz's.
