Well, the first ones were heavily adlibbed by the actors, and lucas didn't have the budget he wanted.
Turned out great.
As soon as we saw his "vision" and saw him control the dialogue, we all realized what a hack he was."

Excellent point! Like at the end of one of the first ones Lea says to Solo, "I love you." The script had him saying, "I love you too." but he improvised one of the best character/story moments in the movie.
When you get to hire excellent actors, the director should get out of their way, and try to recognize their brilliance.
I kind of feel bad for Lucas, but he really doesn't get it. (and should release the originals on Blu-ray like that fan's want.)
