This also shows that Lucas has always been a great idea-man - he had a lot of help writing the script for Star Wars and for the other two he only wrote the story outline and had someone else write the actual script and direct and if he did the same with Episode 2, it could have been a great film.

I agree that AOTC had overall a good storyline. I think it could have been a very enjoyable film if the main character was a decent person. However Anakin was written as an extremely annoying jerk. That, combined with whiny and teen-rage acting, made the film unbearable.

I must point out that in AOTC Lucas actually had a screenwriter helping him. In addition, Lucas was involved in writing the screenplay of ESB and ROTJ.
