Any writers other then Lucas will make the show look like it is being written by Shakespeare. I'm grateful that Lucas brought Star Wars into our lives but the man is a really sucky writer.
No, he's a terrific writer, he just suffers with dialogue. It's directing he's not so good at.
I agree with this.
He can write a good, well-paced story, with great exciting last half-hours, but he needs lots of outside help for dialogue and directing.
I've heard that the reason why Star Wars:A New Hope was any good is that the editor, Richard Chew, editied it to an inch of its death. By that I don't mean cutting lots out, but doing what he could with what GL gave him.
