I am utterly confused by the turn of events. The first trilogy convinced me Lucas was amazingly talented. The dialog was good, but funny. The characters were characters. I feel like the criticisms here are pretty valid:

I'm at a loss as to why what he produced in his 50's would be so much worse. Shouldn't Lucas be the old wizened sage--the Obi Wan of films by now? What happened?
- rdoherty 16y agoGreat question! I think the primary reason is the originals (4-6) were written/edited/produced by other people, while 1-3 were solely managed by Lucas. No one stands up to him now that he's established and revered. There's a great review of Star Wars Episodes 1 & 2 on YouTube that are absolutely worth the time to watch: http://www.youtube.com/user/RedLetterMedia#p/u/19/FxKtZmQgxrI http://www.youtube.com/user/RedLetterMedia#p/u/19/FxKtZmQgxr... http://www.youtube.com/user/RedLetterMedia#p/u/0/CfBhi6qqFLA http://www.youtube.com/user/RedLetterMedia#p/u/0/CfBhi6qqFLA
