First off, Star Wars isn't scifi. It's a space western/opera. Its the same story told a thousand times before but in a different setting. It doesnt offer any philosophical quanderies or insights that actual sci fi does .

It has always been about being a great cinematic achievement for it's time. Theaters have great sound systems because of Star Wars. If you werent of the age to experience it at a time when the biggest movies were 'Kramer vs Kramer' and 'Harry And Tonto', it really isnt very good.

It's totally okay to not like it. I was a HUGE fan when it came out but I understand that it doesnt keep up with the cinema tech that it inspired.

My wife and friends think I'm a Star Wars nerd and keep giving me gifts and swag. I have never liked any of it past the original trilogy and I outgrew that a long, long time ago. In fact, all the other trilogies just downright pissed me off for how awful they were...just horrible dialogue, acting and storytelling.
