In that pic you can clearly see his belly fat pouring over his belt.A vanishingly small number. His other Shenmue video is extremely positive about Shenmue 2 and I equally don't think that helped the sales of the HD collection.

This is from the set of RotJ; I will hear no more body shaming of peak Harrison Ford (who, honestly, is one of the main reasons Star Wars worked so well in the first place).
It's the difference between having to run multiple companies while being able to take care of your kids and grandkids, and having generational wealth long after you're gone while being able to truly retire worry-free.
He really doesn't seem to like directing much. Even before the prequels, his last directing credit is Star Wars. So, not counting Star Wars, he's only directed 2 feature length movies since the '70s. If hundreds of millions of dollars, the adoration of the world, and decades of being able to do whatever you want weren't enough to energize him to make movies, I don't see how a different reaction to the prequels (and that truly awful Indiana Jones movie) would have. It's possible that Suzuki has a similar c'est la vie attitude.
He was definitely bored doing the movie and on set he was likely scarfing donuts and doing lines of coke with Carrie Fisher before Marquand dragged him back in front of the cameras to do another half assed scene with the teddy bears.

I also noticed that you didn't have a retort to the castration of Solo in Jedi because clearly he was.
You don't think that the $200 million that GL had before the sale to the Disney Slavers was enough for "generational wealth"? Besides, GL is donating the Disney money anyway.
And just look at the light in GL's eyes when he was making the prequels vs today... toxic fanboys ruined his passion for creating Star Wars.
Taking this back to Shenmue…. maybe we could reach out to George Lucas to help fund Shenmue 4?
Maybe he will sympathize with a fellow creator who never got to complete his story?
