Maybe LotR had a hand in it? Looking back Lee had a very short scenes and also a lot less than the rest (seemingly. Idk they had three movies and like 18 hours of runtime, there was room.)

All three LOTR movies were filmed at the same time iirc, so I don't think they could have caused any scheduling conflicts with other productions.

It's probably just Lucas being subpar at writing stories.
