No Jar Jar Binks

 John Scalzi takes the time to point out a few of the things that the film world would be missing if it was for George Lucas' incessant need to fiddle. Snippet:

7. No modern movie theater experience. George Lucas may enrage fans with his fiddling, but one place where the man is a genuine unsung hero is in his efforts to improve the experience of sitting in a movie theater, most notably through his THX standard for audio and visual reproduction -- originally created to assure that filmgoers could hear Return of the Jedi the way Lucas meant it to be heard. Yes, he was fiddly even then, but in that case, it was all to the good. When you sit in your awesome modern movie theater of today, raise your popcorn to Lucas.
