I disagree with Megan Fox being a poor actress.
She is such a great actress that I can watch any movie of hers with the volume muted and still enjoy the experience. That right there is pure talent.

I don't disagree.
I'm a huge Star Wars fan. I even found a lot of elements in the prequels that I really enjoyed. But it seems to me that Lucas writes better villian dialogue then he does hero dialogue.
I mean the whole Palpatine story about Darth Plageous the Wise in the opera house was so strongly written and performed.
But Ian McDarmid is a very strong actor.
But sadly Lucas' dialogue turned Natalie Portman into a poor actress.
I think that what also makes the Lucas Dialogue so tough is that you're competing with his overall imagination and story and effects that something has to suffer because it can't keep up.
Outside of aspects of the Phantom menace I found the whole 6 story arch to be a very cool story, and as much as people look at it as the story of the Skywalker clan, I would argue that the key characters are really the droids and the rise and fall of the Emperor.

Agreed, he's always kinda bugged me for some reason, just never liked him. Hotel Rwanda's also the only movie I liked him in too, great flick.

I would argue that Jim Carrey has the potential to be a much better serious actor then a goofy actor.
I really thought that he put out strong performances in Yes Man and the Majestic.

I think Lucas is brilliant with "big picture" ideas and concepts but horrible with details like writing and directing. I don't think it's a coincidence that the two best films on his resume (The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark) are the ones where he came up with the basic outline for the story but then turned over the tasks of writing and directing to others.

I'm not sure you could call her an actress, but her over-acting on TV is atrocious, especially when delivering a verdict on next top model.
Tyra Banks.
