As Revenge of the Sith Comes...

Somewhere in the fifteen years between Return of the Jedi and these Prequels George Lucas became rich and famous. It would seem that his perspectives changed. People no longer cared about the little guy on some obscure planet saving the universe, or about a scoundrel with a heart of gold and a charming personality, or about terrifying Evil Dictators that cannot be stopped by anyone and hold in their repertoire lines that you want to quote over and over. NO. Now it's about arrogant Jedi who don't plug into the force that pervades the cosmos, but are born with it in their blood (?) and have no clue how to have a normal conversation with one human being they encounter. And it's about droids having more interesting conversations with each other than any humans have in the whole show. And it's about being scared by a guy named "Dooku" (oooh terrifying). Lucas has obviously surrounded himself with yes-men who do all his bidding without thinking or stopping him with, "Umm...George...this scene makes absolutely NO SENSE."

Let's face it: Anyone who's seen the original movies more than twice could have come up with better plots and dialogue than Lucas. And where is the awe and the mystery? It has disappeared. Both were found in the first Matrix and permeated the Lord of the Rings, and Lucas must of thought he had inserted them into his latest creations. He was DEAD wrong.
