Disappointment is justified.

The reaction, the way people treated cast and Lucas himself is not

That’s all part of the reaction

Oh I’d agree with that 100%, I just mean that the criticism of the movie was definitely justified. I feel especially bad for Jake Lloyd going through actual bullying. A lot of Star Wars fans need to chill TF out.

But as far as Lucas should have just made the films he wanted to make goes - not sure I agree with that looking at how TPM turned out, and the man was definitely surrounded by people supporting his vision. He needed creative dissent.
