Yah, you know your writing is bad when you refer to a character by the actor's name.
Hee hee, geek humor.
So yah, Lucas... He doesn't suck because he gave us this great fantasy universe. He does suck because he can't write or direct his way out of a paper fucking bag anymore.
I can think of only a few truly impressive moments throughout the PT, and I don't know that I can chalk them up to direction. First off, the three-way battle between Maul, Kenobi and Jin. That's mostly because of Maul. Second, the opening shot from ROTS, but that was ruined by marketing. "Buzz-droids!" or whatever the fuck they were called. NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS A CATCHY NAME. They could have had that entire sequence without ever including that name. Third, the intercut shots of Padme and Anakin looking across the city at each other, without really looking at each other. It was just a nice scene. Beyond that... nothing came close to being what I would call "good direction."
So, he half-sucks.
