Its the director's job to guide the actors--to say "Ian, tone down the expressions, just play it straight." Its as much a directors job to weed out what is wrong as it is to include what is right--now, true there are some things you simply cannot control, but alas this is not one of them. Lucas allowed McDiarmid to fuck it up, because he is the director and could have directed the performance differently.


Even with the stories of the PT as screwed up as they were, imagine how different it might have been had someone other than George been directing. And even with George directing, how in the world did he let things deteriorate so much? Did he really think people would take these kinds of things seriously?
