The biggest problem this prequel has is the assocition to the original Star Wars series- the original was wonderful, great, and marvelous, where compared to it, the prequel just gets an "eh". If this prequel wasn't based on such a great film accomplishment, it wouldn't be that bad.
What he needs to do to save this is either make it a comedy so that we are all laughing WITH him instead of at him, or have only about 15 minutes of new film and go directly into A New Hope. But by comedy, I don't mean the return of Jar Jar Binks. I mean Spaceballs-ish.
Really, though, there isn't much he can do to save himself. He needed to stick with low-key actors, like in 4-6, and maybe even dumb down the special effects. The reason 4-6 were so appealing were because they looked realistic- like it could actually be going on. He took out the realism.
For many counts, I feel the article was right on.
