The first 2 were so good, and had such an impact on my life ... I sometimes pity kids like gochiefs who are big SW fans, God bless 'em, but they just don't know -- will never know -- what it was like in May 1977 to sit there and see that star destroyer fill the screen for the first time. To be 11 years old, and the last sci-fi movie you saw was "Logan's Run," and all of sudden comes "Star Wars" ...
And then "Empire," which was a complete movie, laying out so much plot and character insight into the vast backstory.
It's a crime that Lucas forgot where he came from, ignored/forgot what made the originals so good.
I'm close to saying WOO-WOO for the first 2, they were that good and tower over the rest. But the subsequent 4 really threaten to drag the whole franchise down to an "eh."
