I reread every available screenplay for Attack of the Clones. and the dialog is so bad, shockingly bad and inept. And no one talks like that. What happened to the somewhat better dialog of the original trilogy. Characters talk much more naturally. If have to read my lady one more time. The stilted insipid dialog. Even Palpatine’s speeches are enough to make you want to either vomit or fall asleep. Boring politics. If anything, the actors are to be commended the screenplay is worse than the movie.

There is no gravitas to anything on the page. Christopher Lee makes much of very little or nothing given to him. And poor Frank Oz, he had to pretty much create a performance from nothing. The script is no more than a guide.

It’s worse written than Phantom Menace.

I wonder what i would think of reread the Revenge of the Sith screenplay, it has to be better right?

The films from what I gather are completely driven by their visuals and John Williams score. The soundtrack is what gives the films any sense of drama or life. Because nothing works on the page.

This is where the prequels have to be appreciated as a silent film comes from.
