That's definately the reason why Empire is the strongest. Still, the dialogue is cheezeorama.

The problem lies in making a few lifetimes worth of story fit in less than 3 hrs of screen time. The actors end up talking to the camera and it's beyond boring and awkward.

This is a STAR WARS MOVIE. Master Yoda is about as deep as characters get. We're lucky not to get stuck with another Jar Jar.

Expecting a deep character from a Lucas film is like expecting a charming 'girl next door' type in a Snoop Dogg video.

Obi Wan needed a blaster to take care of Grievous. It just confirms Han Solo's statement in "A New Hope": "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid. "
He He. Amen to that. Obi Wan didn't argue when Han said that.
Do remember, though, it was the hokey (dialogue?) religeons and ancient weapons that got him to the point where he had a good shot at the spot that counted.
