    is that his 2003 choice mirrored his writing ability of the last few movies.

    Yeah yeah, we all agree that he sucks as a script writer, over did the re-release of the original trilogy with unnecessary changes and "what was he thinking with Jar-Jar?", etc.
    He's made some poor decisions and Empire + Jedi probably would have sucked if he had more to do with them than he did...

    But come on, get over it! This is a fan based competition. It's not about the best or most talented judge for the job - the fans relish on the fact that it's GEORGE LUCAS reviewing their movies - the goddamn creator of the series!! Aspiring independant film makers who are star wars fanatics (i.e., the kind of people that love the series so much, they want to make short films based on it), would give anything for that kind of opportunity.
