I never had a problem with the prequels. If I was George I would make the movies I wanted to make and not what the fans demanded. Also, no matter what George Lucas did with the prequels there would always be fans who didn't like it, because you can't please everybody.
Anyway back to his retirement from blockbusters, I think George will make some good films, and I'm looking forward to what he does next. I just hope that George is still making films and continuing with Lucasfilm when I'm older and looking for an animation job in California, because it is my dream job to work for Lucasfilm.

He retired after Willow and The Last Crusade as far as I'm concerned.
He's been saying the same thing since he finished Return of the Jedi. He said it again when he finished the prequels back in 2005, though now I think he will actually do it considering his age and the desire to do something fresh. For him to blame the fans and the media for him not making another Star Wars film is ridiculous, and for the record, I have always said he can do whatever he wants with his films. I just think from a film preservation standpoint he should release the original theatrical versions of the trilogy. Plus, he stands to make another ridiculous sum of money in the process. It's a win/ win for everyone. He's been wanting to done with Star Wars for years now, and I can't understand why he couldn't just come up with a new film, completely removed from what he's ever done. Does he have any other concepts left?
Plus, he should have retired years ago. Ever since Revenge of the Sith was released, I was hoping he'd FINALLY go back to making esoteric and avant garde films like he did in his early years. I'd be nice to think he had some raw talent left in him. I think, as I'm sure most fans do, that despite all of the bitching we do, we have nothing personal against the guy. He is human after all.
It would just be nice to be acknowledged that we are important to him, given that we were the ones who made him rich. He may have made the art, but we were the ones who bought it. The least he could do would be to simply give the fans what they want.

No. And the ones he had, he borrowed from someone else.
Reading that article, I can't help but think of the "Everybody Loves Raymond" episode where Robert started dating a black woman.
For this very large favour which we have done for you, you are most welcome.
Couldn't have put it better myself.
If this makes me a bad guy, then I'm 110% happy to be a bad guy.

The only favor you've "done" me is the reminder and appreciation that I will never be so blatantly inconsiderate and selfishly destructive of the interests of others.

Abso-frickin-lutely. Whiney fans didn't ruin Star Wars. George Lucas did. All whiney fans did was point it out. I'm thrilled he won't be making any more. I consider it damage control.

It's Lucas own fault for being lazy. If he had spent half as much effort with the script as he had on the effects he could have made the greatest series of movies ever.
He didn't. He slapped a bunch of production design and effects together loosely with a story, and after the initial "ooo's and aaaa's" of a new Star
Wars movie wore off, people realized that they are crap.
so Lucas blames the fans, and says he isn't making any more... and you agree it's the fans fault for not liking what he created when he had every resource available to make whatever he wanted?

You know why he did it that way? Because that is how he made the original trilogy.
He didnt lose his touch, you just got older.

Rubbish. You speak as if only kids appreciated the film in 1977. What rot. Stanley Kubrick was middle-aged when he saw and liked SW. The idea of this master admiring the PT is laughable, however. I suspect that what Kubrick liked about SW was that it was a well-crafted, perfectly-toned film that spoke a universal language. He would seek these qualities in vain in the PT.
