here's a fun fact:From a modern perspective, the first three are still pretty great.
all of the star war movies are crud. the only reason the original trio is highly regarded is because the graphics were really good in it's time + nostalgia. ..but story telling wise they are all terrible.
The quality jump from the first to the second is huge however. Much higher budget and not a "one man show" from George Lucas.
Agreed
I can see how starwars for its time was considered good. Kinda like how avatar came out and was so impressive visually and scope wise, so it was a success.
But now if you look at it, it's a crud movie
