Wow. What's David Mamet got that Lucas ain't?

"Many sequels do I see, much merchandise will we sell."
The whole audience groaned after that piece of genius dialouge in the theatre I was in.
I enjoyed the action...and took the movie for what it is...mere entertainment but it could have been so much more if a talented writer had done the script. Sad.
You're so beautiful.
It's only because I'm so in love.
No, it's because I'm so in love with you.
Nuh-uh, I love you more!
Yuh-huh, I do to love you more!
No way!
Way!
I am an OT fan. The series went from ' I want to make a modern myth' to ' this is a kiddie movie'- and it shows.
Lucas has NO concept of normal human intimacy. He was a failure at marriage, he adopted his children. He admits he would rather not deal with actors( or people in general, I would imagine). So, of course- he attempts depth, angst, emotion and intimacy and refuses to let competent script writers get involved.
The heart changed in 20 years. The idea behind the series changed drastically. When you go from a mythical viewpoint to a merchandising one, it shows.
Of course big money is being made- but if that was an indication of quality the porn industry would sweep the Oscars every year.
