Empire Strikes Back (Score 1)

I agree... he's too far removed from his audience to really put it together anymore. It happens people get old and they can't do what they could anymore. There are exceptions, but... I think Star Wars fans are the hardest to please sometimes because we've had the best... (read Empire Strikes Back'...) and we want that sort of feeling again. We want a good screen play and cutting edge effects too... can we have both please? A bad screenplay can make anyone look bad, for instance Samuel Jackson. Can't think of a movie off hand that hes been that bad in. Yet his part in Phantom Menace was ridiculous... and I blame it on George... I don't think the actors were in synch cuz the script sucked and the thing took so damn long to make. Episode 1 was bad, and with the exception of a few good special effects and Natalie Portman (drool)... Darth Maul was great too. Lucas made Yoda look like a moron. Liam Neeson couldn't even die good. (Stoopid shakespearian-theatrical crap). I can't name one sequel prequel that has ever gotten *better* by the fifth one... ok maybe those "sorority sex kitten" movies... but that's it. I read in Spin a while back the guy who did "the Professional" and "fifth element" some french dood Luc Beeson was gonna take the reigns. I'm all for it... pass the chalupa George.
