its funny, I always got the impression that George told the actors to act wooden; like as if he was trying to evoke a bygone era in the PT...I think back to Queen Amidalas forced and awkward sounding delivery and I can't fathom her coming up with that weird inflection on her own..It would make sense however for the Jedi to be monotone I suppose...they were sexless monks after all. And Hayden Christensen always gets flack for his portrayal of Anakin but again; GL wanted him to act like a petulant child and thats what comes across on screen in ep 2; I find him much more enjoyable and even likeable as a character in ROTS (the beginning anyways)

I doubt that George asked them to act 'wooden'. However when you see him direct the actors in de making of documentaries, he does direct how they should pronounce and stress certain words in a particular way he has in mind.

Some would call that bad directing because you're not really letting the actors do the work. But hey, if that's what you want, that's what you get. And in reality it's wooden acting...

yeah i suppose but most, if not all of the actors in the prequels have done great acting in other films so its not as if they are bad actors, they were directed a certain way and that reflected in their performances

Any actor can suck occasionally. But across the board, over 3 films, and multiple actors? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it was probably shitty direction.

I acknowledge proper spelling of words in English.

Nope. It will be there until the end of time.

The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi (I only put this above A New Hope because of the golden bikini and the ending)
A New Hope
The Phantom Menace
Revenge of the Sith
Attack of the Clones

I haven't seen the rest and I don't care. It's obvious Lucas was embarrassed that after Empire became so successful and his wife started blabbing about how she saved the first one through editing he panicked and tried to rehash his toys and pretend there were some hidden meaning behind them. You can see this in Return of the Jedi. Death Star is back, more speed racers, more puppets, more lightsabers and less actual character development.

When the Phantom Menace came out it looked like something George was originally planning where some weirdo befriends puppets to fight a war while he defeats the bad guy/saves the queen. Everyone hated it so he tried to copy Empire and failed spectacularly, so Revenge of the Sith came out and as far as I can tell, people only liked it because Darth Vader was in it. The rest is just filler.

As for the sequels, they're doing the same thing of shoving shit in the frame to sell toys to kids but focusing on the things people liked from the original trilogy (specifically, Luke, Leia and Han). Unfortunately, they made the same mistake by focusing on the toys and not the characters.

Star Wars is creatively bankrupt. Should have been left alone after the prequels and kept in the realm of the EU materials. If Lucas was nice, maybe have let the copyright die with him and hand it over to the public domain.
