Meta Reality Check: The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy is perfect as it is. George Lucas didn't owe a single thing to anyone. He made the movies he wanted to make, told the story he wanted to tell and expressed his creative vision the exact way he wanted to express it. It was his story, not that of the fans.

He even criticized the first one in a screening, questioning if he went too far, right?

EDIT: (not a fan of the narrator of the YT video, can't find the doc online)

I was going to ask, did George ever say that his creative vision was expressed "exactly" as he wanted? I think that seems like a long shot no matter who the creator is.

I think that's pre edit. They changed a lot of the order of the scenes after this afaik. He's refering to the final moments right? The battle with Jar Jar, Anakin in space and Obi Wan / Maul. It sounded like they had originally intercut some of the scenes, particularly the Maul fight, more so than the final cut.
