.... Snip .... bunch of random action sequences tied together by the thinnest of plots.
That is all that ANH was, but it was something new & spectacular for its time & you cared about the characters
I always felt that ANH was a series of broadly drawn character moments linked together by well placed logically constructed action sequences.
It didn't need a complex and prescribed plot, between Leia being captured to the Death Star blowing up the characters drove the situations which dictated the events.
TPM had little in the way of defined characters, the situations made very little sense and the events seemed to be triggered like enemies spawning in a badly designed computer game. A prescribed plot might have helped but that would be like sewing lungs to an already drowned goldfish.
