Nope. The thing is that George Lucas doesn't like working with actors, he likes creating a world and characters with CGI. I'm betting he was perfectly accepting of mailed in, first couple of take performances because he just doesn't care. A real director, you know, directs. Works with actors to pull out the performance he wants, Lucas just couldn't be bothered.
