It's interesting to see this development happen. For 15+ years, people did nothing but give George Lucas flack for the Star Wars prequels. Some of it got really nasty in terms of the cyberbullying! Now he gets rid of his connection to the series and people want him back...

By the way, where the hell was Mark Hamill to defend George Lucas back when the PT was being released?! Love Mark but he didn't ever stick up for the guy publicly back then.

I agree with everyone a little on this thread.

People shredded George Lucas during and after the PT. I never shredded him, but I definitely shredded certain aspects of his work in that trilogy.

And yet, while I have enjoyed both TFA and the new canon books, George's storytelling has always been at the heart of what has historically made Star Wars great. I would even suggest that it was specifically in the PT that the heights of this raconteur were achieved. And whereas his rumored ideas didn't sit well with me, sure, of course we'd all like to see what George would have done to close out the Skywalker story.
