I never said that ABF can't complain about Star Wars, and I made myself very clear about that. You'd have to be the dumbest person in the world not to understand that (hmm...). What I'm saying is that you cannot claim that Lucas did something objectively wrong to his creation because that is precisely what it is: his creation. You can criticize it all you want, but that does not make it wrong by any means. The same exact thing goes for the walkie talkies in ET, no matter how dumb we all think it is. Spielberg decided to touch up his painting, so to speak. It's his work.
