I fell a great disturbance in the Force and Lucas thinking.

[Richard Kimball]

Early in his career, Lucas had people that reigned in some of his bad decisions. His former wife was the editor of A New Hope. After Empire, he had enough clout that no one could influence him.

When I realized he was a total jerk was when he got angry at David Prowse for revealing that he got to show his face in Return of the Jedi and went back and reshot the scene with a different actor, so Prowse wouldn't have his face on screen. It was so much effort to be so petty.
