>and if we're being real most of the movies are horrible too.
You're right, but not in the way that you think.

I won't preach at you much, but as long as I have your (and anyone else reading's) attention-
Now that you know Lucas's philosophy on the interplay of Joy, Pleasure, and Greed, examine this scene from the Prequel trilogy.

77 INT. CORUSCANT-JEDI TEMPLE-YODAS QUARTERS-DAY

YODA and ANAKIN sit in Yoda 's room, deep in thought.

YODA: Premonitions . . . premonitions . . . Hmmmm . . . these visions you have . . .

ANAKIN: They are of pain, suffering, death . . .

YODA: Yourself you speak of, or someone you know?

ANAKIN: Someone . . .

YODA: . . . close to you?

ANAKIN: Yes.

YODA: Careful you must be when sensing the future, Anakin. The fear of loss is a path to the dark side.

ANAKIN: I won't let these visions come true, Master Yoda.

YODA: Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed, that is.

ANAKIN: What must I do, Master Yoda?

YODA: Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.

Of course, this is near the breaking point for Anakin as it takes place near the end of the third film in the trilogy, and is built upon the previous film's events.
Lucas is a slandered auteur.
