I just want a Marcia Lucas appreciation post that doesn’t throw the prequels under the bus. She won a Saturn Award and an Academy Award.  She got a nomination for a BAFTA. She worked her way up in the film world and then turned in amazing editing jobs on so many loved films. Let’s not tar those accomplishments by being petty. Yes, she’s an amazing woman responsible for so much of what made the original trilogy great, and we can celebrate that without pretending that other Star Wars fans are somehow lesser for liking other eras. (Which are also full of amazing women doing wonderful film work, like Nikki Gooley, Trisha Biggar, and Natalie Portman.) Celebrate all Star Wars.
