I don’t agree with this at all. SW/ANH is perfectly paced, ESB lags just a tad in the mid-section in comparison. The script is also tighter in the original. The script is textbook execution of its genre in how it sets up and resolves its story, introduces the world and characters, etc. And no, ESB is not “way” better in terms of acting and dialogue. Better overall, yes, thanks to Kershner’s direction, but it’s really not all that different in most respects. There’s some clunkers in there worse than anything in SW. (“Two fighters against a star destroyer?”) ESB is great and arguably better, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not in a different league on these fronts like some make it out to be. Both have their merits and both have points that they excel over the other in. I will say this for SW, though: It’s the only one that works as a single film. ESB literally requires you watch what comes both before and after it to get the full story.
