"If this film was released under any other title other than Star Wars, people would be lambasting within an inch of its miserable life."I thought people were doing this anyway?
"I hope everyone who liked this film will recall the latitude they give George for his amateurish writing, and be equally magnanimous to other films equally handicapped."
No reason not to expect that. But then few of us who have the forebearance to embrace a pop culture that includes Star Wars spend much time potificating on what's "crap" and what's not. My earlier comments were a barely disguised call for balance. Its easy to rip SW to shreds - what's interesting about that? I'd like to hear your take on its enduring appeal. On second thoughts, maybe not.
"If it's crap, that's fine. You like it, that's fine too. Just don't get worked up if somebody tells you it's so."
I don't go to a burger bar and expect Michelin Star fare. Do you?
And, as many will attest, sometimes only a burger will do, unless you're herbivorous. Describing anything as "crap" reveals you as a poor critic. Star Wars is a genre all to itself, aside from any canon of sci-fi one could enumerate and certainly outside the confines of good cinematic taste (bonkers plot, a glut of CGI, poor direction). Its still often highly enjoyable, if you're able to leave your Crit. Lit. hat at the box office.
