Got no problem with that, but then I'm old enough to remember sitting in a theatre all day on a Saturday for four cartoons, two serials, and a double feature. Oh, and our moms got a set of dishes. *shrug*

I don't buy "I meant it to be bad" as any kind of art. Truly I am pissed at Lucas for screwing up an opportunity to have done something great. He revived SF in movies, yes. He broke ground in special effects, yes. But the work itself sucks trailer hitches, and after The Empire Barfs Back (my favorite of the 6) it is just unwatchable, which I proved to myself by not ever seeing episodes 2 and 3.

It was deliberately bad, because he was paying homage to the Buck Rogers genre. Han Solo could just as easily have been Rogers or Flash Gordon, Leia would be Dale...I mean, the dead-on clue is "Commander Cody". But, I give you Jar Jar...

Lucas committed franchicide long ago. Exhibit A: Ewoks. Exhibit B: Jarjar N****r. But since the very beginning, Exhibit AAAA: dialogue. Sure the plot is infantile, but the dialogue is so much worse. I loved the first movie and now when I look at it I recoil in horror at what those characters 'say'. I guess I was younger then.
