Lucas says that people don't want to go to theaters much anymore because of the increase in broadband and smaller stuff being distributed. Not to mention that for the same $200 mil he spends on a movie could be spent making 50-60 2 hour tv films...

Ehh, what's the difference between a 'movie', '2 hour tv film', and 'multi-part episode' (the last assuming episodes lengths typical of, say, '24').
How about...
nothing, aside from packaging in the last case.
That said, count me as another person who is turned off by the high costs and irritations which seem part of the 'cinema experience' these days... not to mention the paucity of movies I have any real desire to watch.
For things I do want to watch, I can wait until they come to DVD, and enjoy them in the comfort of my own home (midsized TV connected to stereo - others, of course, have more elaborate home theater setups), maybe with my brother or a couple of friends. In that scenario, the US$30 or so that would otherwise be sunk into admission alone would go towards proper food and drink, and we wouldn't have to deal with the irritations icarus points out.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
