His ex wife was why the OG films were so good, and why every Star Wars film after the divorce was such trash.

Honest question, why didn't they hire her later?

She was a talented editor, and SW and RoTJ are the better for her work. But I think her real contributions during this time was reining Lucas in. He seems to do better with a moderating influence, at least in filmmaking.
