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.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
