Disappointing!

It wasn't his fault. The new trilogy had excellent actors: Samuel L. Jackson, Liam Neeson, Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor, and they all had as little personality as he did. The problem was that the script was half assed. Even the best actor on earth can only do so much with a script that awful. All three of those movies were just so awful that I don't even want to write the book I would have to write to do the subject justice.
I would also like to add that those movies weren't just awful, but that they actually affected my ability to watch the original trilogy as well. Now, whenever I watch Star Wars, I can never get my contempt for George Lucas out of my mind long enough to enjoy it like I used to. **** George Lucas.
