So I finally saw Episode III

[Alex]

Yes, Episode III sucked. But after Attack of the Clones it almost felt like a relief in its relative goodness.

Bad dialog, bad motivations, bad plotting, bad special effects (special effects that were implemented impeccably but were pointless in their presence). Worst of all, a bad transition for what has to follow in the original three movies.

Here's hoping that George Lucas never again applies his eye to a camera. Let him stick to producing and making electrons move in computers.

So true. He seemed to have a mantra in his cinematography, "Okay, all you actors...hold perfectly still and talk forever. All the visual interest in this scene will be in the form of pointless crap moving around behind you." The concept of blocking completely escapes that man.

I'd be okay with him adding a few more story writing credits to his resume. Not script, story. He's pretty good at coming up at writing the basic kernel of some great stories, he just needs actual writers to take care of the little details like plot, dialog, continuity, etc.
