I think all of that comes from catering to a less critical audience of children. Yes indeed no drama, and the acting of the lead was so wooden and unconvincing as to be offensive - but those are things young kids apparently arent too critical of.Yes the original SW flicks required a suspension of disbelief and were hardly profound - but they did have drama, action, beleivable characters and acceptable acting. Of course a big element was the pace which kept things moving along in a convincing manner so that you didnt think to hard as it all flew by.
But the latest movie was such a directorial cop out. You're right about the lack of caharcters, but even more irritaing at times was the script which simply failed to make its points in any credible way. A character says he senses menace in the young acting challenged munchkin and yet nothing in the kids behavior or in the flow of the movie itself illustrates it? Thats just lazy directing and insulting to the audience.
The problem is that the fuzzies and toys are the drivers. He's realized he can make crap movies which target kids with underdevloped characters and lame scripts and make his money in the toy store rather than simply at the box office. Hence, instead of focusing on crafting the best movie he can he makes the best child targeted toy commercial instead.
And unfortunately he's making a killing at it with all the promo ties ins, so I really doubt we'll ever see a legimate movie from Lucas again...
This is the crux of my objection to the fuzzies and figures.
