[QUOTE="Welverin, post: 2268445, member: 433"] Not completely, mind you I like all three prequels, but it's clear George has some deficiencies and could use some help. I would much rather he make a SW movie all by himself than turn it over to someone else (dread it even), but they would be much improved if he got help writing the scripts and directing the actors. Portman's 'performance' in Ep2 is some bad I'm utterly stupefied people can criticize Hayden and never even mention her. For god's sake he confesses to kill an entire tribe of sandpeople, something clearly wrong and against the jedi code, and what does she do? Stand there blank faced (reminds me of the kind in the Princess Bride when Buttercup says she's going to kill herself and all he can do is talk about is being kissed). Of course I believe the criticism of Hayden's acting is really criticism of the character, which people don't like (he's annoying and whiny, which doesn't fit their perception of what the future Darth Vader should be), and they can't separate that from the acting. Which is different from what he said on the recent DVD, which basically was that he wrote one script which ballooned until it turned into the three movies we know now as the OT (the deathstar was supposed to be at the end of the whole thing, but when he made SW he didn't know if he'd ever get there, but really wanted it so included it there) and as you said he wrote up the backstory (i.e. the prequels), to some degree, so he could understand the character in the movies he made. Thrwan, best villain ever. At least that's what I thought before RotS, but Palpy's machinations are grand it's hard to vote against him. I'm mostly with you on this one, the overall SW saga is wrapped up in RotJ, and there's really nowhere else to go. I do view the over all plot somewhat differently; I see the over all plot being about the rise and fall of Palpatine and the Empire, which I consider synonymous. The first trilogy is about Anakin’s development and eventual fall to the darkside, and the second trilogy is about Luke avoiding the path of his father. [/QUOTE]
