Based on the quality of the storyline, dialog, and acting in the prequels, I find this statement highly dubious.
Either Lucas had no passion whatsoever while creating these films, they were simply a grand experiment in CGI for his personal amusement, or he's lost his edge. There is no indication in these films that the man who created the OT and THX 1138 still exists and is capable of producing quality work.
I can't remember viewing any recent, decent movie where the audience actually laughed at the dialog. Do you know how bad the writing has to be to make modern moviegoers giggle? And how bad is the directing when you have a cast of very capable actors delivering lines like Shaq reading cue cards on SNL?
If the guy who made American Graffiti makes a comeback, I welcome him. I just wish he had come back in time for the prequels.
