i agree as well with the sentiment - ESB shows us how economy in a screenplay beats being spoon-fed with exposition, hands down, every time.

and the Imperial "round-table discussion" in SW (ANH) is better than anything we saw in the Senate - not too much detail, just "we're here, this is the universe", jumping in at the middle of the scene.

each prequel way overdid it in the dialogue department - GL forgot The Golden Rule of "show, don't tell"

For me, the "Anakin nightmare scenes" were particularly dreadful! "Young Frankenstein" had better nightmare scenes, LOL! "Dest-iny, Dest-iny! No es-cap-ing death-for-me!!!"
