Lets not mention that the movies he has Produced were some of the best movies ever or that he is credited with the story for most of them. Yes he did a crappy job with the last two and yes he will probably do a crappy job witht he next one, but maybe we shouldn't crucify him for a movie that isn't even finished yet.  As far as the rest without the first movies the plot twist to the third one would of been a big "I am your Father" type of suprise when Palpatine was revealed to be Sidious. I do have to disagree with you on his plot execution there, seems I was able to follow it pretty well and would of followed it regardless of the other movies. Look at it this way just how shocking would the "I am your father" scene been if you had seen the prequals first? It would of been a big "you mean he didn't see that comming moment" What looks so obvious when we know what's comming can be real hidden when you don't. There is no guarantee that people would make the Sidious=Palpatine leap if they did not know anything about Star Wars when they started watching, not to mention, Lucas would of probably hid it better if there wans't the other trilogy. They gave away all the clues to Vader being Lukes Father in Star Wars and Empire, they were more muddled ont he Luke and Leia angle but they dropped hints there too. He just can't do that with the Palpatine thing because everybody knows already. But really this plot isn't all that complicated here, I mean much of it is spelled out to the point of making it too obvious. Where Lucas's execution was crap was in his ability to direct his characters and his silly little details he threw in (Midichlorians......... I hate them almost as much as Planet Ziest). You can't fix acting in post production and you have to work to get good acting when they have to say retarded lines to a tennis ball on a pole. Lucas overtechnologied himself and under directed the actual acting part of it.</blockquote>
