Did Lucas intend the Jedi to be so stupid in the prequels or is Lucas himself actually as stupid as they are?

Well, he is an ageist jackass who thinks "old" methods of filmmaking (silent, B&W, 2D) are inferior to "modern" ones (sound, colour, 3D), so I doubt he's the sharpest crayon in the box.

I think he was born with a large portion of his brain missing. I think he was too stupid to even come up with the original star wars film (remember, he just wanted to rip off Flash Gordon).

Actually, I - this might sound idiotic of me, but I'd put it down to senility. The fame went to the poor man's head and he tried to dumb down what made it so popular. Either that or he tried too hard to appeal to children....
