[QUOTE]Originally posted by Triton: [QB] Don't forget that Lucas had collaborator help on [i]Star Wars[/i], [i]The Empire Strikes Back[/i], and [i]Return of the Jedi[/i]. [i]Star Wars[/i] was written with Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck. [i]The Empire Strikes Back[/i]was written with Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasden, who collaborated with Lucas on [i]Raiders of the Lost Ark[/i] which if I remember correctly this screen play was finished before work on the Empire script started. Lucas also didn't direct this picture, the director was Irvin Kershner. [i]Return of the Jedi[/i] was written with Lawrence Kasden again. The film was directed by the late Richard Marquand who got the job becaus of his suspenseful adaption of Ken Follett's [i]Eye of the Needle[/i]. [i]Phantom Menace[/i] was written and directed entirely by George Lucas. There were no creative checks and balances this time, and it shows. There was no one around who could rein George in when he ran with really wild ideas. [i]Attack of the Clones[/i] was written with Jonathan Hales who gave us the story for that gem [i]The Scorpion King[/i]. George assumed the directorial chores on this film as well. Or may be the big problem is that Harrison Ford is a much bigger movie star than we originally thought. His portrayal of the space pirate Han Solo, with his modern skepticism and cynicism, allowed the first trilogy to work. I for one couldn't care less about Episode III. There is an old saying I think that applies to the prequel trilogy: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." [/QB][/QUOTE]
