Aparently, George Lucas is a Bigger Idiot Than We Thought

Give it up, George

From Cinematical:

On Wednesday of this week, entertainment blogger David Poland threw up a rather perfunctory account of the Publicist's Guild luncheon: "I kinda like this particular high-school event. There is no pressure on me to report. I am comfortable knowing that this is a group that will never nominate me for their journalistic award." But pressure or no, he did report one item of interest, two days late. Yesterday afternoon, Poland tossed in an update on the lunch that he forgot to dole out originally: "George Lucas, giving the award to Sid Ganis, who was the in-house publicist on Star Wars: Episode Five - The Empire Strikes Back, said, 'Sid is the reason why The Empire Strikes Back is always written about as the best of the films, when it actually was the worst one.'"

Are you kidding me? Can you name one person who thinks this? Empire is by far the best film of the series in nearly every way. I have just lost my remaining sliver of hope in the Star Wars franchise. Someone please take this guy out before he ruins Indiana Jones as well.
