It is more like i " I cannot disobey the script"lol.
Just like all sorts of shitty bad plots and unbelievable things happen in the prequels because it is in the script.
The jedi script was a noticeable drop in quality from empire strikes back, the script chores Kasden did on jedi were more out of thanks to lucas and loyalty. But he had very little input into the story.
His ideas were ignored Like killing Han Solo, which i agree which Lucas being against. But i do agree with Kasden's idea that a second death star wars just dumb and not original.
Then the quality drops many fathoms further on the phantom menace script, once you get attack of the clones and revenge of the sith the script is so crappy as if to say "a script we don't need a script we got cgi"
At least with the star wars holiday special, howard the duck and the clone wars movie the crappy script is not his fault. Didn't full of Baloney Filoni write the clone wars script?
