I think the prequel stories had great potential. The execution of it - primarily, the directing - wasn't great.
I like them, but I think George needed different people around him behind the scenes and in the director's chair
Also Lucas really wanted to pioneer better CGI. So he bit off a lot more than any one director could chew.
Exactly. I think if he had focused on the tech directing and had someone else direct the actors, they would have been much better.
If Disney had just followed his ideas for the sequel trilogy, I'm sure the movies would have been better.
I know that Favreau and Filoni are using some of those ideas, so I'm kinda excited to see where it goes from here.
FWIW George agrees, he also wanted someone else in the directors chair. He asked a number of different directors including Steven Spielberg but none of them felt they could take on the story.
