Lucas is an idiot!
Sorry if anybody feels offended with that remark but i'll try to explain to you why... First of all, I am a huge Star Wars fan, i love everything about it, except that way Lucas approached the Prequel Trilogy... Its quite obvious when you look at the Making of documentaries that Lucas spent more time trying to choose what alien mask he wanted for some pointless Senate debate scene or to choose what costume should Padme wear, then the time to make a good screenplay with a good storyline that is logical and has no loose ends with Original trilogy...
It almost feels when you listen to his interviews that he doesnt even understand the story, all he cares about is making as much pointless new caracters so he can sell more merchandise in mcdonalds and toy'r'us... For example - jar jar, of course, zam wessell, that creepy guy at Utapau, and General Grievous... The later one i even liked but a fourth villain in ROTS was not something that we really needed!
He cant even gives a good reason why Anakin turned to the dark side?! First of all, the transformation was far to quick, in one scene he is a good guy, loyal to the jedi, and in the other he hates them and has no problem with killing the younglings...
Also Lucas makes Anakin look like a idiot... He believe that Palpatine will help him save Padme's life?! He obviously forgot that Palpsy try to kill Padme in many occasions (both in TPM and AOTC), also he know that Palpsy is reasponsible for the Clone Wars so how can a normal person trust someone like that...
My feeling is that Anakin should slowly start to turn to the Dark Side (in AOTC), and because of his desire for bigger power he starts to explore (at Palpatine's advice) the ancient Sith practices... So the main reason for turning to the Dark Side (in my opion) should be the quest for greater power and not saving Padmes life... Also i would make the Jedi Coucil more restrained to Anakin, especially Mace Windu, the should have tried to hold him back... Then he would have a good reason to dislike them and eventually to betray them. Sadly, you dont see any of that in the movie where it looks like Anakin is nothing that a spoiled brat who wants to be a Jedi Master, a year after he became a Jedi Knight...
Thats my only remark to ROTS, but the first two have some major illogical story parts... I will skip TPM beacuse it has no screenplay period! All Lucas wanted it that one is to introduce a first CGI character in a movie (jar jar) and to make the ben-hur type chariot scene on Tatooine which lasts almost half a movie...
My main problem with AOTC, except the corny dialog between Padme and Anakin is that nobody was worried or puzzled that the Clone Army that was make for the Republic (which at the end saved all the jedi in the arena) was cloned from a Bounty Hunter working for Count Dooku who is leader of the Separatists?!?
Secondly, it was never explained why none of the Jedi can sense that Palpaine is a Sith? And regarding Yoda... none of his lines make sense in this one, what ever happend to that wise creature in ESB, all he does in this one is speak stupid oneliners for the trailers and teasers ("Begun the Clone War has"😉...
And lastly there are huge discrepancies regarding the jedi powers specially in AOTC and the Clone Wars cartoon... In AOTC almost two hundred Jedi Knights and Masters cant deal with a flock of flying insects and a battalion of Battle droids?! In the cartoon one Jedi can destroy hundreds of droids in a few minutes... but in AOTC a Jedi Master from the Jedi Council can even deflect a few laster blasts with his lightsaber (i'm reffering to Colemon Trebor who was killed by Jango Fett).
Thats all for now... Please write me your opinions about my comments, i'm very interested if there are other fans that are botherd with the same things that bother me!
And if you have something else to add, please do!
