[QUOTE="The Serge, post: 2091604, member: 4049"] I was thinking on some of the comments made on another [i]Star Wars[/i] thread... Namely about the acting and directing. Particularly about Hayden Christensen. I think Hayden Christiansen is a fine actor. I think that most of the principals in the film are fine actors. I think the problem is we have an inept and incompetent director/writer who dominates the entire process and does not take suggestion well. Lucas is a great conceptualist. He has good ideas and creates great foundations. However, it's his execution that stinks which is why he needs others involved in the creative process. The fact most recognize [i]The Empire Strikes Back[/i] as the best of the three original SW flicks is a testament to that fact. Lucas had the least direct control over that film compared to the others. When one honestly compares PM and AotC to ANH and RotJ, I honestly believe that there's not much of a real difference beyond the impact of something new and fresh and something twice baked. ANH has the benefit of being the first of its kind; the other three are rehash. So... [/QUOTE]
