But I do think the kinds of things fans say about him is just vile and they take everything he does to Star Wars/Indiana Jones too much to heart. At the end of the day they're just films and to make personal insults about Lucas himself just because they don't like what he's done is the lowest you can get.

Yes, he's a multi-billionaire and does own a massive ranch, but does that make him a bad person? No. I will agree he is a little... delusional at times, not necessarily understanding why fans don't like some the things he does, but again that's no reason to bully him.

Part of me can't help feel that he's been forced about of the industry by fans, and that's his main motive for not doing much else other than Star Wars. Sad really.

No, you're not the only one...have you read this thread?

Re: him being forced out by fans --- that's the entire point of the article in the OP.
