GL was and still is a great IDEA guy, he has an immense imagination, that at times is stagering. He is, however, very poor and bring those ideas to fruition in an entertaining fashion. If you need to see what i mean, just watch the empire of dreams doc. In the casting clips you here all sorts of jubbled, long winded dialogue, some of which made it into the film, some that did not. Obviously some of the less disireable dialogue was cut/altered/replaced because it is no where in the films. Another example is in ESB, the "i know" line by han was improvised on the set by harrison and Irvin Kershner, something that GL would have never allowed if he would have been at the helm. The best thing that happened to star wars was the forced absenteeism by GL in ESB and ROTJ, plus his openess in ANH. This allowed awsome input from various sources that really polished SW and made the OT the classic movies that everybody loves. His tight fistedness is what has ruined the PT. In my opinion the PT could have been saved if he would have allowed input in the same way...
