You’re being ridiculous. The novels were written then.
Do you think they just put the novels into a screenplay machine and it came out the other end with a movie script?
Or do you think every movie adaptation of a novel is a well-written movie?
Anyway, since that’s not enough for you, I’ll keep going with well-written science fiction films of the 90s with much better writing than any Star Wars film George Lucas ever made:
Back to the Future III
Darkman
Edward Scissorhands
Total Recall
The Rocketeer
Terminator 2
Jurassic Park
The City of Lost Children
Six-String Samurai
The Handmaid’s Tale
Tank Girl
The Fifth Element
Primer
The Truman Show
Bicentennial Man
Predator 2
Delicatessen
Gremlins 2: The New Batch
Men in Black
I’d even put Stargate above The Phantom Menace in terms of writing. Also, not one of those movies had a long and pointless sci-fi version of a NASCAR race in the middle of it.
