Q: Is it true that George Lucas has been consulting with some fans who have web sites to get help with writing Episode II?
A: Absolutely not. How ridiculous.
George has a very clear vision about the story of Star Wars that he won't allow to be swayed by the whims of the Internet, the media, critics or anyone. The Internet rumors this time around are possibly even more funny and off base than they were for the first film.
Now, I think that George WAS listening to the fans when he was creating Episode II. Why else would Jar Jar have such a reduced role? And why else would N Sync be edited out of the movie so quickly if he wasn't listening?
The fact that people influence George's decisions in making a movie bothers me somewhat. He's letting others dictate how his movies are created. I'm disappointed in him. Anyway, what do you guys think?

PS- I would like to say that I thoroughly enjoyed Attack of the Clones. Although I'm disappointed in George, his weakness did lead to a better movie.
