Seems what you are looking for is Lucas apologist. Cannot get anyone better than Ebert.

Not going to be me to say anything positive about them prequels or indiana jones IV, excommunicated i know.

I can say something nice about howard the duck, Lea Thompson is in it,lol. 

I can even say something nice about the star wars holiday special the fett cartoon was the only good part.

What is cool in the prequels would have been someone of Christopher Lee's talent not being used in such a poor way.

The amount of talented actors, minus Hayden and the non performances and wooden acting Lucas got has to take a kind of talent, no other director could have had Terrence Stamp, Liam Neeson, Ewan Mcgregor, Natalie Portman, Ian McDiarmid and get terrible performances from them all.  Add in Christopher Lee starting in Episode II and III, and its almost a crime.

He managed to also get terrible performances from Frank OZ, someone who did great performances under the direction of Jim Henson, Irvin Kershner and Richard Marquand.

How in the hell do you mess Yoda up or Darth Vader for that matter, such widely known iconic characters, Lucas even got Chewie wrong in Episode III.
