He had more-or-less complete executive control over the original trilogy, anon. ESPECIALLY the first movie. That whole notion that George Lucas had little-too-no control over the originals (at least up until Jedi because we don't like it as much as the first two) or that people were constantly telling him "no" or "vetoing his bad ideas" or that the first movie was 'saved in editing.' That's all bullshit. Literal neckbeard bullshit - it's just Star Wars fans making shit up because they didn't like the prequels.

And that's fine if you don't like them (personally I only think Attack of the Clones is THAT bad but that's just my opinion) they have plenty of flaws. But that's no excuse for falling for obvious bullshit about one of the most well documented movie productions in cinema history. I swear do Star Wars fans just believe whatever they hear based on... vibes? I don't fucking know, it's so weird and pathetic.
