More of a 'fluff newspaper', really.

Even with millions of dollars and state-of-the art everything, that no one is interested in your vision of your own creation.

I mean, if something I made was ever even proportionately as successful, I sure I could console myself with the windfall and move on to other things. But the notion that that fans sigh in relief discovering my name is not attached...oof, hard not to be bitter.

Yes, but it took him far too long to actually realize it. He should have figured it out after Episode 1.

Yeah it must be weird. But he still created this entire universe so that's hardly a shitty consolation prize.

Mark is the coolest dude.

For a little bit, it looked like Ford would be the only one to have a career past the movies. But in the end, Mark probably had the longest and biggest impact.
