 Oh god, here goes the revisionism of the Old movies again.......  Star Wars wasn't made for kids

I never said it was made for kids. I can't help it if it appealed to kids though, now can I? And there had to be some reason that it did. Maybe because its basically a fairy-tale? Or did I miss something? Maybe I missed some other movie called Star Wars that was an existential drama of Shakespearean magnitude?

Yes, Jedi definitely had things that appeal to kids in higher doses than the first film did. Yes, it is lacking a certain emotional gravitas of the first two films, Empire in particular. But in my opinion is nowhere near as bad as a lot of its detractors think. Too many people went "Oh, look how Phantom Menace turned out - quick, blame it on Jedi! We'll look smart because we saw this coming." - now there is some revisionism!
