I had no problems with the dumb moments inthe original trilogy mostly because despite that they were still good films, well except temple of doom but even that has some fun parts.

Crystal Skull. the Whole movie is unbelievable even in the fictional sense of the indiana jones franchise.  I mean fucking Aliens in an indiana jones film, this is not star wars for crying out loud.

At least the original star wars and indiana jones trilogies had their own in universe set up laws and make believe set of Logic. 

But the star wars prequels and crystal skull pretty much are a farce of a once great series, and they throw their own in universe logic and laws out the window because now that we have cgi we can do anything.

The lack of solid characters, a plot or story can be forgotten as long as you can wow people with the effects and confuse them enough and take them off on a nonsensical tangent so your plot looks elaborate, like palpatine pulling the strings. When it is just a cover up of lazy movie making.

 

If you don't believe me look for the raiders story transcript online.  Where Spielberg and Lucas talk about selling the movie as believable.  Like when Lucas made star wars and empire the idea was for selling the stories as believble and not as camp.  Then that all was thrown out the window in temple of doom or return of the jedi.  By the time they made Last Crusade despite it being a fun action adventure, it was brought to the level of farce and not taking itself seriously.  Despite all that Jedi, Temple. and Crusade were still real craftsmen made films and not cgi pieces of shit.
