Long long ago, he was actually a pretty good writer


George Lucas: "I basically worked out a general theory for the Force, and then I played with it. The more detail I went into, the more it detracted from the concept I was trying to put forward. It worked better as I got less specific... So the real essence was to try to deal with the Force but not to be too specific about it."

(From Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays)

And don't we all wish he'd remembered that 20 years later?
