When the movies reached a pinnacle in their belief that their own artistic expression was critically important following the release of Empire Strikes Back and subsequent merchandise flood. The bulk of 1980 and 2004 was their internal realization that they really weren't going to make a difference, and decided to solely focus on making money.

I'm a fickle fucker.
