IMHO, Fisher was perfect in the first (fourth?) movie. Sure, she was wooden, but so was everyone else because that was the whole idea: it was supposed to be this cheezy homage to those 30s-era Saturday morning serials. Then Lucas decided he wanted to create something serious, and the whole thing went to hell from there. Sorry, but the last three (first three?) are almost unwatchable, and the "added CG effects" put into the first three (last three?) took all the fun out of all of them, especially the first (fourth?).
If Lucas had stuck to the concept, it would have been a very different series, no question about it... but it wouldnt have been the angst-laden mess we have now.
Final Fantasy? They needed to spend more than a weekend writing the script. The storyline is almost incomprehensible. Gorgeoous to look at, sure, but it took me three times watching to figure out what was going on and what happened in the last fifteen minutes.
