Can ‘Star Wars: Episode III’ be saved?

We’ve got one more year before George Lucas finishes up his Star Wars prequel trilogy with the as-yet-untitled Episode III, and he certainly has his work cut out for him. Not only does he have to resolve the ongoing storylines of Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones in such a way as to lead directly into Episode IV, the original 1977 Star Wars, but he has to overcome two of the most soul-killingly dull storylines ever put on film. I mean, really — I’ve seen more interesting films on sandwiches I left in my fridge too long. Is there any way for Lucas to salvage the series in a single movie? It would take a great disturbance in the Force, but it’s not impossible.
