Will Wright chatted with Wired, and participated in an E3 panel. Great stuff in both articles.

I went to watch Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, and was pleasantly surprised! While the two prequels had been visually amazing, the story, dialogue and character development seriously lacked. Episode 3 – RotS is different: the story is really good, and it certainly has the darker tone that Lucas had promised. None of the cute puppet shows of episodes 6, 1 and 2. Ewan McGregor’s characterization is astounding, he really does look like he will grow into Alec Guiness’ Obi-Wan. Hayden Christensen’s acting is mostly forgettable, but he does look dark and scary as he transitions to the Dark Side. Palpatine steals the show performance-wise. There are many childish dialogues and cheesy scenes, but I was so interested in the story that I could somehow imagine those scenes as I think they should have been done. I’d rate this movie up there with the original Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back, and I’m really happy that that the series ends leaving a good taste in my mouth.
