Technically there is nothing wrong with the Scripts to the Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.  But they sure as hell could have used better dialogue.

The Revenge of the Sith Script to me is the one that needed a whole lot more work.  Anakin's turn to the darkside and the believability of it were poorly done.  Also the dialogue needed some work to make it less laughable and cringe worthy.  The romance scenes in II and III either needed to be trimmed or made more heartfelt than wooden and inept, to downright creepy.

For an add on Jedi character in Phantom Menace Qui Gon was not bad.  Obi Wan was alone in the early drafts.  He probably had YODA as a teacher.

Mace Windu goes all the way back to the journal of the whills outline and then was known as Mace Windy.  Which was corrupted by typescripts made form Lucas handwritten drafts into Mace  Windu.  Which to me is the only obvious conclusion unless Dale Pollock in Skywalking got the spelling wrong.  But the scripts at the Jedi Bendu Script site and i think also the annotated scripts say mace windu. Weird.

Also they should have had a twenty year old Boba Fett in episode III and no Jango in II.

We should thank our lucky stars young han solo did not make his way into revenge of the sith.  Are all the children characters in the star wars galaxy orphaned or had their parents killed.

It was bad enough that yoda and chewie were best pals.

It was also laughable that yoda was made the surpreme and master swordsman in episodes II and III and ironically a great warrior.  He tells luke in empire strikes back "wars don't make one great".
