When did he disavow Jaws? Oh pulease, I don't even believe it.
Of course, he was the a-hole who not only changed CE3K, he purposely put in a scene he hated at the time to make the stupid changes he really wanted (which were beyond lame in the first place).
So yeah, he blows like the wind. But if he made Last Crusade to apologize for Temple of Doom, I applaud that move.

Also ... he didn't exactly replace guns with walkies ... he offered an option where there are walkes instead of guns, and left available the option where guns are still guns.
Considering he permanently deleted scenes from other movies, I consider this compromise in E.T. acceptable. The change was not rammed down the world's throat.
