Wasted opportunity

Rating: 8/10 (28 September 2008)

Episode 3 is surely the best of the prequels but it really hurts to see how Lucas couldn't get over the wooden & cheesy dialog. He lost too much time in 1 & 2 with uninteresting story lines so he had to put all in 3 to tie up the loose ends.
The Star Wars universe is so rich why didn't he manage to weave more of the world of 4-6 into the prequels. The story line is absolutely one-dimensional, and Anakin's switch to the dark side happens so abruptly and unbelievably.
Imagine what good writers like Kasdan or the LOTR-Crew Jackson, Walsh and Boyens could have been made out of this story. No, better don't imagine, it really hurts.
