Also, many purists aren't being truthful to themselves in that the acting in the OT is that much better. Take the famous "Nooooooooo!!!!!!!" from ROTS. I ask everyone, do you honestly think that it is any better than Lukes "Noooooo!!!!!!" in ESB? Like father like son I suppose? Also take the fact that HC and MH had that same whiny acting style which LUCAS WANTED. I have to trust the old bearded one in his decisions, becuase I highly doubt he would spend and risk hundreds of millions of dollars, around ten years of his time and devotion, and countless interviews and queries, if he didn't know what he was doing.
People might find this hard to believe but when I watch Star Wars i dont expect great acting and dialouge, I didnt expect it in 77 80 83 and didnt expect it for the prequels It didnt matter me in 77 and the same in 2005 to me its par for the course in Star Wars you watch something other than Star Wars I feel to get this excellent dialouge and excellent acting, and I feel Lucas is a great filmaker and was near enough at the top of his game for Sith(people will disagree) but he works I feel better in collaberation(screenwriters other directors?) and feel some was needed for the prequels( eg. the romance in Clones and Sith which a percentage feel is the weakest)things like this needed polishing and someone saying to Lucas this doesnt feel right.
