Mark Hamill wanted George Lucas to be part of the new trilog

One thing you can say about the prequels was that they had a good story. They were also original. Lucas was so great at world building. Unfortunately, that goes unnoticed because the dialogue in the prequels was borderline terrible and most of the acting left a little something to be desired. None of the movies are really *good, per se, but I still enjoy them in small doses and love the canon of them.
