10 things that killed the Star Wars prequels
Lucasfilm Ltd.
Critics like Roger Ebert derided the lousy acting of Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman, but a look at their non-Star Wars work suggests the problem had more to do with writing and directing. When Irving Kirshner and Lawrence Kasdan took over the directing and writing roles for “Empire Strikes Back,” the results suggested Lucas was a better visionary than a writer/director.

I think that you are off the mark here. While the prequels weren't as good as the original trilogy, they were still good movies.
Jar-Jar Binks & EWOKS, and all the puppet creatures who did not have leading roles!
BTW - Did anyone else take note that in addition to this aqusition of Lucas Arts / Star Wars,
Disney already owns the rights to the Muppets?
This could get bad, seriously bad.
