    Well that quote is pretty rock-solid, being from someone other than George Lucas, so I'll concede I was wrong. I will say that him flip-flopping on the origins of Darth Vader in your other link is a good example of why I thought he flip-flopped on this too; he just strikes me as that kind of guy.

      I actually do agree with Lucas saying this stuff prior to around 20 years ago is true. I haven't done a deep dive on it and a lot of good sources make the claim, and his connection to AN drives it home, but there is a lack of statements from him during that era. And yeah George is like Stan Lee without the plagarism
