Interesting -- I've still been getting emails for all replies to my posts.
It's inevitable that we create expectations about how stories should go, and they're always colored by our personal perspectives and experience. I've started to become very dubious that anyone could ever view a work of art with objective criticism -- a critic's review is, by definition, their opinion. And art isn't a mathematical equation or scientific theorem that can be proved or disproven. It's all about an engagement between the artist and the audience. So I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter whether the original Lucas saga is "objectively" good or not. I enjoy it; that's the only pertinent thing for me.
