Sometimes I do wonder if the audience being left in the dark so much in the first act works well for audiences first time watching it, going in blind per se, but doesn’t really work as well for multiple viewings. You can imagine how cool it must’ve been for audiences to have each character slowly be revealed to them after not seeing them for 3 years. But the slow reveal of the mystery feels a little dull to me upon rewatch. That might come down to pacing issues moreso than the narrative POV, or me having seen the movie so many times, but I still find ANH and ESB engaging throughout despite that.
