    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.
