I think that the problem with Star Wars is that we saw the original ones when we were young. Because of this, we are nostalgic about them. I bought Star Wars on VHS when it finally was available at an affordable prices and the novelty of it wore off very quickly. Everyone wanted to punch Luke for being a whiney brat and we just turned it off. The Ewoks are annoying on a recent viewing too. All in all, I think all of us give Lucas too much credit for the original movies and expect a "masterpiece" from him when he has never made on in his life... Are they entertaining? Yes, but that's it.
