Personally, I now feel that the monumental power of Star Wars has been so diluted by the sequelising, prequelising and franchising of that film that I would actually prefer that none of the sequels didn't exist. Yes, I would prefer it if Empire Strikes Back, one of my favourite movies of all time, was never made, because that is how much has been lost and how much more Star Wars originally had going for it. The strange part is that I never felt that way in say, 1997. But now its just become too much. We had a modern Wizard of Oz and it became all the bad parts of Star Trek.
