I agree. Lucas picked a generally fabulous bunch of actors, most of whom I've adored in other movies. However, they often seem lost and stilted in the prequels, (even Liam Neeson!) and I think much of that has to do with dialogue and environment. "I hate sand" anyone? Frankly, I was a rabid fan girl before the prequels, and I still am, but it's the books that have kept that going. Thank whomever that decent authors have stepped forward and at least attempted to restore order to canon.
