[QUOTE="Villano, post: 2092483, member: 505"] Didn't actors in the original series say that Lucas' direction was simply to say, "Faster, more intense"? That reminds me of another director, whose name escapes me, who used to say, "Just like that, only better." Anyway, I have to agree that Lucas is ironically the weakest element of the new films. I think it's a combination of not being a "people director", being secretive, and, frankly, not having anyone around him to say that something is a bad idea. It's kind of like the Austin Powers movies. The first one was good and did well, so Mike Myers was given free reign on the next. All the jokes went on too long and he included his ad libs. No one could tell him that having Fat Bastard singing the Chilli's theme song for 2 minutes isn't funny. Same thing with Lucas. No one could tell him that Anakin in TPM was a bad actor. [/QUOTE]
