The first two Star Wars movies were enjoyable escapist entertainment. They made no pretense of being anything more than that, but accomplished that goal extremely well. It was only with the third "film" (Or was it a toy commercial?) that the wheels fell off.
Not every film can be a dreary 4 hour black and white subtitled slice of life drama from Finland. Sometimes you just want to be entertained.
