I have a certain appreciation for Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith, but I just can't stop comparing Attack of the Clones to Empire. I just don't think the romance works, and it MUST work to be successful. I don't feel anything the way I did with Han and Leia, I don't care if they get together or not. I keep remembering the unintentional laughter in the movie theater. I would LOVE to see Lucas rebuild that relationship from scratch next year, into something more simple. Swapping some scenes with the deleted ones might be a good start, only because meeting a girls parents is simple, human and relatable. Just look at the care taken in Empire of Dreams when the Han/Leia bespin scene was re-shot with a completely different tone.
