   Speaking in the generic, a single-minded pursuit of any goal will often   
   get a person into trouble.  Most people benefit by getting the input of   
   several alternative viewpoints, especially from parties that are more   
   objective on the matter.   
      
   Regarding Lucas and Star Wars, it is always reasonable to ask why, oh   
   why, would someone who is already filthy rich decide to sell off their   
   pet project?  I mean, it clearly wasn’t *just* for the money.  If he   
   ended up regretting his decision, maybe he *should* have given more of   
   a flying fuck about what other people thought he could have done with   
   it instead.
