He arrived at the decision three movies too late...

While what he is actually saying makes sense...

Said By George
"I think the secret to the future is quantity," Lucas said.

Well, now he would say that in reflection.

Michael: Jodie, how's my schedule look for today?
Jodie: You've got a conference and dinner party at the Japanese Embassy regarding wildlife protection.
Michael: Oh, yeah...sorry, but I'll have to cancel that. I'm heading out to save America!

Lucas is a great story teller. Not sure if it's him, but under his direction, excluding Star Wars, many of his actors seem to have stiff performances based on the prequels. Maybe he was overdirecting?

And also overediting. The original three weren't edited by him.

ESB wasn't written or directed by the goofball. Under his watchful eye it's doubtful "I know" would have made it to print.

A good portion of the actors in the prequels are capable of Oscar-level acting. It's Lucas, sure as hell. Any person that can even make James Earl Jones sound bad is very truely bad. Now, whether it is his poor directing, editing or storytelling (or all three) remains to be seen.

Not naming actors, but it seems like Lucas may have been giving too much direction, staging almost every movement of the actor: like maybe "When you say Anakin, turn your head slightly to the right, but blink twice before you frown and move your left arm forward while turning your eyes the other direction two seconds after you say the third syllable of Anakin... Oh, and say Anakin a little faster this time."

But I really don't know the real story, so I'll stop there.

I have read things like that as well. Over-directed...
