The whole success of the saga hinged on Anakin acting like a 2 year old on mustafar. Whose daddy has just denied him a cookie.

Way to Go George.

I mean this in the end is how Lucas great arc of the story of the fall and redemption of a classic screen villain was reduced to.

I mean if he really wanted 1-6 to be a super epic he should have done better writing, better directing and better casting. I mean even with Hayden and the minimalist script where only the very end of the film in Episode III leads into episode IV, it still did not have to be done in such an inept and lazy fashion.

I've given George and the Prequels a lot of slack and leeway, but the whole success of the prequels hinged on making Anakins turn believable. What we got was mad magazine level of laughable and self parody which also was done on indiana jones IV. If George got so old he no longer believed in the material and decided to go for the lowest of lows derision and mockery of his own works, replacing adventure stories and the human element with liberal politics. It is time for him to retire.

So okay Lucas grew up and his heart died and he became a businessman over being an artist, still does not excuse not giving star wars over to someone who could do it justice.

In the end it turned out so bad there really is no excuse for not hiring a different director or screenwriter to help.

Episode III Anakin " If you're not with me then you're my enemy"

Obi Wan "Only a sith deals in absolutes. i will do what i must"

Anybody else notice Hayden Delivering a Bushism taken directly from Bush United Nations Talk. I think it was something like "If your not with us then you're against us" Bush most likely slamming France for remaining out of the second iraq war.

Hardy har har. George made a joke, Bush is a sith lord. I hope Lucas is happy with Ruining Star Wars and Indiana Jones for tirades against the right wing.
