Star Wars Forums have no credibility.
Forums got shut down because there wasn't enough of a following. Clear indication it lacks credibility.
It's just a few anti-social individuals, that have some displaced religious obsession with "the force," and have nothing better to do because the comic book convention only comes around in the summer, decide to nit-pick about crappy sci-fi movies that were released five or more years ago, and in all reality, Lucas probably just wanted to make a movie that looked really cool and is at home disappointed that the only people that care about his work can't even get laid.
