Chefelf.com Night Life: Prequel dialogue coach - Viewing Profile

It's interesting what the books says that Star Wars' script had contributions from many of George's film maker friends. He screened the film regularly and listened to their criticisms and ideas. It would've been great if that happened on the prequels.

why is the word "sith" not heard in the OT, despite being name dropped a billion times in the PT?

obi wan claims yoda trained him in EMPIRE, yet qui gon was quite clearly his master in TPM

"when i first knew him, i was amazed how strongly the force was with him" - wasn't that qui gon?

" The scripts in the earlier movies are significantly stronger. The dialogue is more mature and smart. They had to be, if he was going to get the funding to continue his saga. For the newer Episodes, you can practically see George sitting at his Mac on top of his pile of money and giggling as he types lines line ''Whoa, that's tense'' and ''How rude!'' I looked it up and he was never a writer for Full House, which means he came up with those ditties all on his own. It could be the 4 o'clock in the morning talking, but it's almost as if he didn't have anyone proofreading his scripts. And did he even hire a casting director?"

. even someone who's not a SW fan knew that the prequels were miscast!

it's possible the woman in question could be a complete fruitcake

wow i thought the story for the PT was set in stone in 1995 when the prequels started pre-production. i didn't know lucas just made each episode up as he went along.
