15 Problems Only Star Wars Fans Will Understand

11. George Lucas

Granted, George Lucas created the fantastical little space world that€™s expanded into a universe so terrifyingly grand that it can force even the sanest of us to become disconcertingly detached from reality. But even the most diehard Lucas apologist must acknowledge the unnecessary tinkering and tweaking he€™s done to the original trilogy. Not to mention losing his mind for a period long enough for whatever replaced it to conjure up the three prequels. He€™s kind of like the L. Ron Hubbard of the Star Wars world. Now he€™s offloaded his intergalactic space junk to Disney, he€™s not there anymore except in a mythical, behind-the-scenes way, pulling the strings or €˜advising€™ like a demonic space-God. And his creation lumbers on and on, incessantly and out of control. Much like Hubbard€™s equally creative interplanetary fairytale.
