He did this with Irvin. Here's the story, here's the character list, here's how things should fit, now its up to you to write the story. It was brilliant.
The story in the PT itself is smart and makes sense, its the details and dialogue that hurt it and that there were some things in there that gained too much focus.
Imagine giving a guy like IK the job of writing and showing the fall of Anakin, and no fracking I hate Sand monologues.
