Would have been fine with me if he had stopped after Star Wars. I didn't need to know what came before or after - and I certainly didn't need all the mystery and vastness of the universe taken away.

That said; I enjoyed Empire when it first came out - minus the Vader\Father angle. However, after I saw - and nearly walked out on - Return, I started saying goodbye to all but 1977. I gave them both another chance about 15 years ago, but I just couldn't get back on board. Lucas had shrunk the universe and morphed the whole ordeal into a child's bedtime story. It was a leap I wasn't able to make.
