Lucas has lost the touch & timing that brought us the 'Bad dates.' line in Indy


That's because Spielberg directed it. He's actually a good director. That and Lucas had the help of Phillip Kaufman and Lawrence Kasdan (co-author of Star Wars ep V and VI...see a trend?) as writers.

IMO, Lucas is at his best as a creative artist/storyteller. His stuff works best when filtered through a good screenplay writer and directed by someone who can evoke great performances.
