I enjoy the adventure of ANH, the wonderful characters, creatures and droids, even silly moments in which the tortured and mourning Leia casually asks Luke, "aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?" or when Ford ad libs in the cell block intercom.

Certainly there are some things that bother me. It's just silliness when Luke falls into the water in the garbage compactor the second time. The way Leia says "I knew there was more to you than money". I can think of fewer "flaws" in Empire than ANH but that doesn't mean I enjoy ANH less.



Or where Leia hugs Chewie and they all scream "we did it!".

Yea... I don't consider them flaws, though - ANH is just a little bit camp.
Like, they tried to do a more "serious" movie based on their influences, but the comic books and Flash Gordon still shine through in some parts :)




I offer the usual disclaiming pretense that it is not my intention to change anyone's mind, that this is my own opinion, etc. But I do think harshness toward Jedi is based on a point of view that ignores elements of Star Wars that existed since ANH.


Don't worry, Darth, it's okay ;)
