Just lose Lucas, and it'd all work out

I think the main thing people are forgetting when they're talking about the Star Wars movies, is that after the first, Lucas was only involved as the story writer.

MSNBC - Can 'Star Wars: Episode III' be saved?

I do not think that Hayden Christensen needs to be axed. I think he can do it, if put in the hands of a talented director with an excellent script to back him. Hell, I didn't think Leonardo DiCaprio could act, until I saw him in What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, and then I wondered what had happened, since that was an early film of his. Plus, if Steven Soderbergh can get top quality acting out of Jennifer Lopez (Out of Sight), then I'm certain someone can do it for Christensen.

And we all know that Natalie Portman can act. Well, anyone who has seen The Professional/Léon knows it.

Come on, George! Give it up! While there's still time! Like I asked once a few times before!
