They will NEVER be as good as the OT.......not with the crap that Ady has to work with as his base ingredient.....but they CAN be made into decent films. They'll never be as character driven as the OT....they're always going to be more like documentaries about what happened to Anakin Skywalker.....simply because of the material that George shot (or didn't shoot) and the way he chose to tell his story. But they CAN be made to be entertaining. MUCH more so than they are now.
And Ady has said that his versions are going to come in much shorter than their current running times.....which makes sense what with all the crap that has to be cut out.
You hit the nail on the head there...
Character driven story... Thats what I mean by 3 films in to 1 film
A character driven story only... Sci-fi nonsense out the window a few light sabre duels and that about wraps it up... Lucas did not need to tell this story across 3 films it's only because of the gap between the ROTJ and TPM that it implied and it was an obliged money spinner to do another trilogy.
And by the end of this he got the message about what people actually wanted.
The 3rd film was the real film by the second half and the other 2 were mostly filler
