I have figured out why the Star Wars prequels were so bad.

The Empire Strikes Back had a perfect bit of dialogue to sum up Han/Leia:

"I love you."
"I know."

And Harrison Ford ad-libbed it.

Meanwhile Attack of the Clones is all about Anakin complaining about sand, and then killing some sand people, and then fighting monsters in the sand, and then watching his love interest fall out of a gunship and land on some sand. And George Lucas wrote it. Stick with letting your actors write your best lines for you, George.
