I’ve already seen opinions of TFA and TLJ improve.
The OT is revered because it’s a well made set of films.
Art is subjective. If the OT was as objectively well-made as you say then why did places like Time Magazine and Empire Magazine shit on ESB when it was new? We also mustn’t forget that a lot of people also crapped on RotJ up until TPM was released.
Art is subjective, and the quality of a movie is subjective. But the OT is undeniably popular, and not simply just because it’s old or because le Star Wars fans are le dumb. It’s also incredibly influential, in a way the PT and ST, like them or not, never will be.
Agreed completely. As I stated so many times on these forums, films are purely subjective, there are no two ways about it.
Still OT has something special that extremely few films ever had or ever will.
To say “purely subjective” is a rather extreme position. There may be an element of subjectivity, but there objective elements. Is Britney Spears as good a musician as Mozart?
Apples to oranges. Comparing a classical orchestra composer to a pop singer, or comparing a movie made by an actual filmmaker (Citizen Kane) to a movie made by a mentally-ill person who’s likely a runaway criminal (The Room) is not the same thing as simply comparing one Star Wars movie to another Star Wars movie.
