...and thus arguably grown-up...when SW came out. And in truth, I was a wee bit disappointed that SW was so specifically aimed at 12-14 YOs. However, I got over it. I'd also seen Lucas' THX1138 and American Graffitti when they came out in theaters.
For leaden dialogue foisted on good actors SW is seldom surpassed.
However, in purely cinematic terms, the images in SW are more vivid and memorable, primo examples of epic visual storytelling. The opening scene alone tells you pretty much all you need to know about the rebels vs the Empire. And the camera moves and dances in a particularly fluid way that the two sequels - despite the big battle sequences - never quite achieve. (I also see them now as the beginning sof the more is not enough syndrome that afflicted Lucas in the prequels.)
The exhuberance of that first film was quite seductive, even for a sci-fi starved twenty something.
The acting and line readings are much better in part 5, no question. And TESB is structurally tauter. But I don't love it more. I think it has just as many faults, in a slightly less interesting way.
