What that guy said, Manic Street Preachers made arguably one of the greatest albums ever made, but their discography is also filled to the brim of 5/10 albums.

Yes, Star Wars dips in quality, yes the prequels are an absolute mess of cinema that should never be reviewed at 2/10 or over (even though most major critics disagree, as do I), and honestly yes people do tend to overestimate how much of a big deal Star Wars is, but a bad fanbase or a bad series doesn't stop a great film from being great anymore.

EDIT: As much as that guy also had dumb reasoning, he's so right about American Graffiti, that film seriously needs more love.

I take it you mean MSP's The Holy Bible.

Perfect example, they peaked creatively with THB album number 3. Hard to believe they've made 7 albums of increasingly worse music (Not bad, just worse) since then. But that doesn't change the fact that THB was arguably the best album of the 90s.

Just because SW peaked creatively in 30 odd years ago doesn't mean it's a worthless franchise.
