As the saying goes "Great art is not finished, it is abandoned" and "art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realise the truth."

Both true statements for the OT. Completely false for the PT. That is why the PT lacks soul in my opinion. It's a film made in a jelly mould factory, not a film from a passionate heart. I do not want to belittle the skilled craftspeople behind the PT because technically there is some redemption. But to get a wooden performance from A-list actors, I don't know how Lucas managed that. Actually, I do. When an actor can "see" and "feel" a set the performance is more behavioural and less about acting to nothing. Great actors, don't act, they behave like. It must be tough spending long days in front of a greenscreen in a smelly old Rolls Royce factory.
