I appreciate your points. There is some truth in that children are more open and may experience things a certain magical way because they are children. What I am saying though is that if you objectify a certain “spirit” which is in the original Star Wars, then that spirit is absent, in my opinion, in episodes 1-3 and 6-7. My original point is that it’s not about my childhood memories being ruined, it’s that there are certain values in the old films which are not present in the newer ones, and also not present in Return of the Jedi. There’s something unique and original and compelling in ANH and ESB. I try to express the nature of that spirit in my article. I guess I am saying there is something more objective, less subjective, than what you are suggesting. In other words, it’s not just because one is a child that ones likes something; in this case there are unique qualities which are absent in all Star Wars films after ESB. That’s my perception, anyway. It’s a strange paradox to be talking about something objective from a subjective viewpoint.
