The one thing that I loved about Lucas was his eye for detail. He basically built a fully functioning complete galaxy. It felt grand in its scale.
Even in the PT, when you first see Naboo from up high and Theed, you see people walking around, the galaxy seemed populated.
Even when you visited star destroyers, the people seemed like they had purpose even the guys in the background.
Lucas struggled with dialogue because frankly he's a big ginormous film nerd and he based his dialogue choices on things like old books and comics, and people in real life don't talk like that.
That's why Empire worked so well and the people felt like people, because someone else wrote the dialogue.
In the PT, the dialogue was stilted because it felt like comic book talk.
