Of course it's started. The folks afflicted with Lucas Derangement Syndrome think Lucas should have let Prowse wear the suit in Episode III, and "masked his physical shortcomings." Oh really? Like Prowse sneered they'd mask the allegedly 5'9" Hayden Christensen's "physical shortcomings" with "fancy digital effects"? '
And I'm sure they'll formulate new conspiracy theories about how Lucas "just can't take criticism," and shovel some fresh manure about him "surrounding himself with butt-kissing yes-men." If someone points out that their idol Gary Kurtz, the "gutsy, tough-talking naysayer," is going to make an appearance at CV, they'll ignore it, or find some way around it.
And they'll run to Prowse's side, figuratively speaking, because he gave them what they wanted: more material to bash Lucas with.
Not that surprising. Also not that interesting. I thought these people fancied themselves of higher intelligence, taste, and judgment than we "Lucas-worshipping, no-taste cretins" who actually LIKE what we consider ourselves fans of.
