"Hollywood mogul George Lucas struggled so much with writing the screenplay for final Star Wars installment Episode Iii - Revenge Of The Sith, he had to force himself to stick to a rigid working day as he sought inspiration. The hugely successful movie-maker, 60, took on the persona of a normal office worker as he sat at his desk for nine hours a day, five days a week - and he still only managed to produce five pages everyday. He says, "I am very diligent about writing. I go to work at 8.30am and leave at 6pm. I sit there with that page in front of me but I still can't write it. I do get it done, I actually write five pages a day. But I force myself - otherwise I would probably write a page a day."
He should of called back Jonathan Hales or another writer to help him with the screenplay. He did write A New Hope and The Phantom Menace all by himself.

Getting other people to help you write scripts for a movie of your own invention produces well... sucky movies.

How to fix gas prices?? Roll into Saudi Arabia and just take it from them!! We are the **** united states of AMERICA!!
Press screenings were today here in Hollywood... I listen to Mark & Brian (a staple in LA morning radio for the last 20 years out here) and they both got invites to see it today ... will find out in a few hours when they go on the air (6am pst) what they thought of it.
If our daughter would have been a boy, I wanted to name him Sebastian Anakin. She didn't go for it. But we had a girl so we named here Savannah Olivia. She wouldn't go for Leia or Padme.
it would depend who is writing the script. If you've got several peopl who all have the same understanding of whats going on then it works well. Otherwise you're pretty screwed
Does anyone remember Timothy Zahn and Tom Veitch. The two people were most responsible for the Star Wars Renaissance of the early 1990's? Why couldn't George Lucas just let them help him write the prequels? They certainly treated the characters and saga with respect. They made some of the best stories Star Wars has ever seen apart from the original trilogy. Everybody would still call Lucas a genius even if he never wrote a single word.
Timothy Zahn wrote Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising and The Last Command in the early 90's.
Tom Veitch wrote Dark Empire and Tales Of The Jedi for Dark Horse Comics in the early 90's.
