Lucas' dialog writing is terrible. The Star Wars stories are great, but they are shot to excrement by the ridiculously awkward dialog.

Natalie Portman is an Oscar-winning actress and he turned love scenes with her into trash. "Hold me like you did by the lake on Naboo." Holy freak.

Star Wars has always been about hope, heartbreak, and perseverance.  Each trilogy does exactly this, writing be damned.

I sincerely liked 3, 4, 5, and 7.  There were pieces of the others I liked, but jar jar in 1, horrible dialogue to the next level in 2, and ewoks in 3 killed those movies.

I mean if we're being honest, writing has never really been George Lucas' strong suit.  Even the writing of the originals was pretty poor.

True, the writing of the first wasn't great. I think the second was penned by Kasdan and was the strongest of the 3 originals by far. RotJ was a meh movie, too many ewoks, ugh. That said, the first 3 in chronological order were far better written. Of course like we all have said that's not really saying much.

Godfather is so overhyped.
The 2nd was a great movie.

Star Wars has always been about swords made out of lasers and sasquatches with assault rifles.

The 2nd was a great movie.

The Third could've been great had they stuck to the original idea of having a intra-family war between Tom Hagen and Michael instead of that crap story with the church and the incest.

Who was Tom Hagen? Is that Boba Fett's real name? Michael was Lando?

The sasquatch had a laser crossbow.  Get your facts straight.

Actually, it was a bowcaster which fired destructive metal quarrels sheathed in plasma energy and had a hand-woven strap made of kshyyy-vine, you filthy casual.

I was trying to dumb it down.  You did refer to a wookie as a sasquatch.
