    You're looking to George Lucas for better scripts? Isn't that like looking to Windows Internet Explorer for a secure websurfing experience?

    I hate to say it, but the best thing Lucas could do would be to turn the whole Star Wars universe over to some decent science fiction writers and film directors, then stand back. We'd end up with more and better films and he'd end up with more piles of cash.
