I read the novelizations to the two Star Wars prequels -okay, call me a big dork-and they actually helped some of the stupid scenes make sense, because the author could flesh out and explain the ideas Lucas had but with which he had difficulty putting on the screen. Explanations for things like, how did a little kid who crashed into the control ship blow the thing up by shooting two things out of his small ship into the hanger and how come when everyone else gets hit by a light saber their limb falls off, but when Count Dooku hits Obiwan, he just has a really bad cut, etc...
As an aside, Lucas, I think has some great ideas and creations, but I really wish he would leave the writing and directing to someone else. Sorry to go off on a tangent.
