Maybe that's because if they even tried to say no, Lucas pretty much overruled them. He had all the money and all the control. If you want to continue working on Star Wars, and who wouldn't at the time, you did what he said whether you thought it was a good idea or not. Even McCallum tried to talk Lucas out of Jar Jar and that went nowhere. He was the Producer. Anyone else didn't stand a chance, so they all became "Yes Men". Witness the contrast with the OT, where people had no problem telling Lucas no and that something wasn't going to work and how much better it turned out.

Lucas is a control freak that doesn't take no for an answer anymore.
