George Lucas and dialog -- separated at birth

Interesting article from CBC/Arts. The article features actor Hayden Christensen who plays Anakin Skywalker (Mr. D.V. himself) but includes this interesting (and welcome) bit of news:
Christensen also confirmed recently that Lucas got a helping hand with the script for Revenge of the Sith. In an interview with Playboy, he said the rumours about playwright Tom Stoppard working on the dialogue for the film are true.

Stoppard, known for stage works like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, gave the Lucas-penned screenplay a more "human" dimension, Christensen said.

Critics and Star Wars enthusiasts alike lambasted Lucas for the dialogue in the last Star Wars film, 2002's Attack of the Clones.
