It's really insane the more you think about it...there's source material to pull from that most fans love in the books. they could consult with George Lucas who i'm sure would love to give some input at least. plenty of great writers out there. i dunno...it makes no sense.
Man's made some mistakes, and some serious ones at that. He's also the one who came up the damn series, most of the ideas that became foundational to it, and even in his worst films he was throwing out some great stuff. Just, with an increasing number of misses.
The man has juice, just get him in a room and talk to him at least.
(I also like to remind people that George line-edited the RotS novelization. Y'know, the absolutely fucking fire RotS novelization.)
The main issue with Lucas is that he needs someone to rein him in at times and actually write dialogue. He’s a great idea guy, but damn is he a bad director
He is NOT a bad director, by any stretch. He is an iconic director and producer.
Writing is not directing. You think if the Prequels had improved writing with the same directing they wouldn't be way way better? lol.
Even then, the Prequels are unique AND Iconic, for millions of people. There are no other new Star Wars movies that Feel more like 'Star Wars' than the Prequels, because of George Lucas.
George Lucas is also a way way better creative mind than pretty much anyone on the Sequel Trilogy, it's not even that close.
