Futurology

This whole comment is beyond clueless. The actors weren't talking to nothing on a green screen sound stage, Jar Jar Binks was played by an actor and replaced with CGI. And "enshittification" doesn't apply to permanent media like film - it's a description of a depreciated service.

George Lucas, for all his flaws, was instrumental in advancing VFX and other filmmaking techniques. Whether you like his films or not (I don't), pretending like he's hurt the industry is asinine. VFX have made filmmaking more accessible to smaller studios and made countless big budget films even better.

And just because we don't like his movies doesn't mean millions of fans are wrong and he shouldn't make them.
