And lest we forget, the original film dropped us into the middle of a conflict we knew little about.
It was structured though to slowly introduce the audience to the Force and nuances of the Star Wars world.
That’s another reason the prequel fanboys like ANH even less. They like to start watching “The Saga” from Episode I and by the time you get to Episode IV, all of that slow-paced, introductory stuff seems out of place.
