As far as the behind the scenes books and programmes tell, he isn't really at home in the director's chair.
He himself has admitted it.
Lucas is good at writing stoires. He is good at structuring them. Look atRaiders of the Lost Ark or The Empire Strikes Back. His problem lies with writing dialogue. He is a fantastic producer because he is skilled technician and craftsman, his problem lies with storytelling. He is unquestionably talented and intelligent. He is simply misdirecting his abilities at the moment.
...maybe sometime he will admit it and settle down on these films.

Maybe he should spend more time writing since that does seem to be something he is really good at.

He will, probably soon enough. Remember "Now we'll find out if people really wanted the originals or if they wanted the improved versions. It will all come out in the end. With the 30th anniversary approaching, we appear to have at last reached some point of reckoning. Lucas appears to want to go head to head with the fans at this point. Here's hoping everyhing will iron itself out soon enough. At least that's what I tell myself so that I can sleep at night.
